I was hoping that it had something similar to DocumentHelper.createDocument(Element) where it would create a dom4j tree with the root at the w3c element.

Hi David, If you think about it, converting an org.w3c.dom.Element to a org.dom4j.Element is not that easy: what should you do with namespaces (declared elsewhere in an ancestor of the element), what should be the parent of the newly created dom4j.Element, ... That's why you can't use the readElement(...) method in org.dom4j.io.DOMReader. The safest way is to convert your org.w3c.dom.Document into an org.dom4j.Document using the org.dom4j.io.DOMReader like this: org.w3c.dom.Document w3cDoc = ...; DOMReader reader = new DOMReader(); org.dom4j.Document dom4jDoc = reader.read(w3cDoc); and now walk through the dom4jDoc to the element you want ... hope this helps Maarten David Thielen wrote: >This looks like what I need.
