Hello Simon, you can use two kinds of "XML representations": DomRepresentation and SaxRepresentation. You can instantiate both of them with the posted representation. E.g.: DomRepresentation xmlRep = new DomRepresentation(rep);
The DomRepresentation gives you access to the Dom document. The SaxRepresentation allows you to parse the XML doc with your own contentHandler. See the javadocs here [1] and here [2].
