Kent, The XmlObject interface always represents the content, it does not represent the node itself as in DOM. There are three different types of XmlObject: 1) content of an element: i.e. attributes, inner elements and inner text, without the element name. 2) simple type content: i.e. text, can be the content of an attribute, or a text only element. The java objects representing this type of content will implement SimpleValue interface. 3) content of a document: i.e. only one root element. The corresponding java type will have the suffix 'Document' in the name.
For 3) XmlObject.toString() will return the entire document representation. But for 1) and 2), because they represent inner parts of a document, XmlObject.toString() will insert the representation of the content inside an <xml-fragment> element, so it can be parsed by any xml parser. There are options to change the name of the 'xml-fragment' name: XmlOptions.setSaveSyntheticDocumentElement(QName name) and XmlOptions.setSaveOuter(). I hope this helps you.
