Cocoon provides helpers to deal with DOM2SAX and SAX2DOM : 
org.apache.cocoon.xml.dom.DOMStreamer in your case. Look at Javadocs if 
this matches your needs.

Concerning your NPE, I already had the same : my mistake was to have 
sent two contentHandler.startDocument().
And I think you may do so here according to your code : the first is 
explicitly written, and the second one may be implicit within the 
parser.parse().
