As an example, we do something similar for wrapping XMLBeans objects:

public class XMLBeansXMLizableWrapper implements XMLizable {

    private final XmlTokenSource source;

    public XMLBeansXMLizableWrapper(XmlTokenSource source) {
        this.source = source;
    }

    public void toSAX(ContentHandler contentHandler) throws SAXException {
        LexicalHandler lexicalHandler = null;
        if (contentHandler instanceof LexicalHandler) {
            lexicalHandler = (LexicalHandler)contentHandler;
        }
        this.source.save(contentHandler, lexicalHandler);
    }

    public XmlTokenSource getWrappedObject() {
        return this.source;
    }
}

For JDOM, I assume you could use something like SAXOutputter.output(Document).
