Daniel,
Thanks for answering my question, following is my current workaround:
StAXOMBuilder builder = new StAXOMBuilder(is);
OMElement documentElement = builder.getDocumentElement();
Iterator<OMElement> itr =
documentElement.getChildrenWithLocalName(Constants.ELEM_POLICY);
Policy policy = new Policy();
while(itr.hasNext()) {
OMElement e = itr.next();
Policy subPolicy = PolicyEngine.getPolicy(e);
policy.addPolicyComponent(subPolicy);
}
