Java で XML から特定の要素値を抽出するにはどうすればよいですか?

DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document document;

// If XML is a string:
document = builder.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(xml)));

// If XML is in a file:
document = builder.parse(new File("file.xml"));

Element rootElement = document.getDocumentElement();

protected String getString(String tagName, Element element) {
    NodeList list = element.getElementsByTagName(tagName);
    if (list != null && list.getLength() > 0) {
        NodeList subList = list.item(0).getChildNodes();
        if (subList != null && subList.getLength() > 0) {
            return subList.item(0).getNodeValue();
        }
    }
    return null;
}

String requestQueueName = getString("requestqueue", element);
