Hi Robin, It's not possible to do this, mostly because XML parsers don't support this type of operation. The parsers expect to handle the entire document as XML, and don't give any means of accessing the raw text. The closest you can come to this is to build a DOM model of the <document> content, then turn the resulting DOM into text (using something like an empty transform constructed with javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory, with a DOMSource as input and a StreamResult as output).
