Yes, but DOMReader only has a read method for org.w3c.dom.Document. I need one that will read an org.w3c.dom.Element
When working with Apache AXIS and/or JAXM, they both deliver you Element(s), not DOM Documents. Jim Jim Brain, [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Researching tomorrow's decisions today."

Lucas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 07, 2003 11:37 AM To: Brain, Jim Cc: 'James Strachan'; DOM4J Mailing List (E-mail) Subject: Re: [dom4j-user] How do I convert a DOM element tree into a DOM4J document You should be able to create a method for either direction ( based off the code below) that takes in a dom4j element and returns a w3c node by manipulating the org.w3c.dom.Document interface and remove/detach the first child and return it. The opposite direction would be the same, take in a node, and return it as an element by getRootElement and detaching it. Does that help? Dave // I use this code to convert from dom4j to a w3c DOM Element input = ... org.dom4j.io.DOMWriter domOut = new org.dom4j.io.DOMWriter(); Document fragDoc = DocumentHelper.createDocument(input); org.w3c.dom.Document w3cDom = domOut.write(fragDoc); // I use this code to convert from w3c DOM to dom4j org.dom4j.io.DOMReader domIn = new org.dom4j.io.DOMReader(); Document fragDoc = domIn.read(w3cDom); Element output = fragDoc.getRootElement(); output.detach(); // do whatever with the element (top of tree) -- +------------------------------------------------------------+ | David Lucas mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Lucas Software Engineering, Inc.
