Is it possible to get 2 more parse methods added to DocumentBuilder as
below:

/**
    * Parse the content of the given <code>Reader</code> as an XML
    * document and return a new DOM [EMAIL PROTECTED] Document} object.
    * An <code>IllegalArgumentException</code> is thrown if the
    * <code>Reader</code> is null.
    *
    * @param is Reader containing the content to be parsed.
    *
    * @return <code>Document</code> result of parsing the
    *  <code>Reader</code>
    *
    * @throws IOException If any IO errors occur.
    * @throws SAXException If any parse errors occur.
    * @throws IllegalArgumentException When <code>is</code> is
<code>null</code>
    *
    * @see org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler
    */

   public Document parse(Reader reader)
   throws SAXException, IOException {
   if (reader == null) {
           throw new IllegalArgumentException("Reader cannot be null");
       }

   InputSource in = new InputSource(reader);
   return parse(in);
   }

   /**
    * Parse the content of the given <code>Reader</code> as an
    * XML document and return a new DOM [EMAIL PROTECTED] Document} object.
    * An <code>IllegalArgumentException</code> is thrown if the
    * <code>Reader</code> is null.
    *
    * @param is Reader containing the content to be parsed.
    * @param systemId Provide a base for resolving relative URIs.
    *
    * @return A new DOM Document object.
    *
    * @throws IOException If any IO errors occur.
    * @throws SAXException If any parse errors occur.
    * @throws IllegalArgumentException When <code>is</code> is
<code>null</code>
    *
    * @see org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler
    */

   public Document parse(Reader reader, String systemId)
       throws SAXException, IOException {
       if (reader == null) {
           throw new IllegalArgumentException("Reader cannot be null");
       }

       InputSource in = new InputSource(reader);
       in.setSystemId(systemId);
       return parse(in);
   }


Basically InputSource will already accept a Reader.  StringBufferInputStream
is deprecated and says to use StringReader.  DocumentBuilder won't parse a
reader, so my problem is I can't parse an XML file that I have as a String
in Memory.

Thanks for your consideration,
