Quite honestly, Benjamin, the best way to go about this is to either: A) Load the document into a DOM and then change all the keys and then serialize it back out, or B) Create a SAX ContentHandler that would do the same thing (more time to develop, faster and more efficient in the end)
Digester, although it could be coerced into doing this, is not the tool for this job.
