If you implement the ContentHandler interface and use that with your sax parser it works a lot better. Then the following code will get you what you are looking for, I think.

Code:

public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName, Attributes attr) 
		throws SAXException
	{
	String type = attr.getValue("TYPE");
	if (type != null)
		{
		if (total.containsKey(type)) 
			{
			//Java 1.5 autoboxing will take care of this for you
			int temp = (Integer)total.get(type);
			total.put(type, new Integer(temp+1));
			}
		else if (!total.containsKey(type))
			total.put(type, new Integer(1));
		}
	}
	
public void endDocument()
	{
	Iterator i = total.entrySet().iterator();
	while (i.hasNext()) 
		{
		Map.Entry temp = (Map.Entry)i.next();
		System.out.println(temp.getKey() + " " + temp.getValue());
		}
	}
