I know that you can get the line number and column number from a org.xml.sax.SAXParseException.
Is it possible to get the line number and column number from a org.w3c.dom.Node?

A:
No (at least not with the standard DOM API).
DOM trees are not related to a specific serialization. In fact, there are various ways to output a DOM tree, and they might give different results for an element line number.
When you parse an XML document into a DOM, you might be able to get a SAXParseException with a line number if there is an error. But the information is lost after parsing.
