It all depend why you need a DocumentReference.

* if you are in Velocity and need to pass a DocumentReference to a
method then you can directly pass the string and it will be converted
to DocumentReference automatically based on the current context
* otherwise for this use case you are usually supposed to use a resolver:
** in Velocity: $services.model.resolveDocumet($docString)
** in java: the "current" DocumentReferenceResolver<String> in your case

See 
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Model+Module#HResolvingaReference
for more detail about resolvers.
