How to convert string to arary[][] in Java

Question

I have below string which I get from an xml file.

<product>
<aa>1367</aa>
<ac>133787</ac>
<db>13345</db>
<ce>133</ce>
<er>135</er>
<et>130</et>
<ef>14</ef>
</product>

How do I convert it to an two dimension array like

product[][]={{"aa", "1367"},{"ac","133787"}, {"db","13345"}....}

I only want to use string function and loop.

its an xml string, make your life easier by using one of the available xml parser. — Juned Ahsan, Aug 01 '13 at 14:06
You can use CofeeDom Java XML Parser https://code.google.com/p/coffeedom/ — Makky, Aug 01 '13 at 14:10

@nes1983: Let's try not to be mean to the new people, okay? *Yes*, the question lacks the appearance of effort. By all means call them on it, but can we leave the sarky out? :-) — T.J. Crowder, Aug 01 '13 at 14:11
@Makky CofeeDom seem to be a fork of the outdated jdom1 implementation. I would not recommend to use this while jdom2 is available! — Thor, Aug 01 '13 at 14:13
use it in webmethods java service, admin will not install the extra for me — user2642375, Aug 01 '13 at 15:48

I think the best way is to use an available XML parser. In this thread: Best XML parser for Java you'll probably find which one is the best to use
