To convert from dom4j nodes to W3C DOM nodes you can use the DOMReader and
DOMWriter classes.
Out of the box a dom4j Node is not a W3C DOM Node. Though if you want a
dom4j node to also implement the W3C DOM API then you can use the
org.dom4j.dom.DOMDocumentFactory which creates a dom4j implementation which
does implement the W3C DOM API.
DocumentFactory factory = new org.dom4j.dom.DOMDocumentFactory();
DOMReader reader = new DOMReader();
reader.setDocumentFactory(factory);
...
or
SAXReader reader = new SAXReader();
reader.setDocumentFactory(factory);
