Hi,
i have to develop an application which converts XML data format into an understandable format using JAVA language.. Can anyone tell how to do it?

Xml data is an understandable format. Perhaps you could better define your requirement?
You basically have 2 or 3 typical ways to work with XML. One is with serial access, another is with the DOM, and another is with XSLT.

Personally, if I am "converting" xml to some other form, such as to HTML or to rtf or soemthing like that, I prefer XSLT.

Look somewhere like http://java.sun.com/webservices/jaxp...ial/index.html to see some options
