Couldn't you use the getOwnerDocument() method of your element to get
the containing Document and then use DOMBuilder to process that document.

As another approach, it would be possible to add new functionality to
JDOM that handles this impedence mismatch. I think the DOMBuilder classes
are just a first cut.

I assume by the (usual) deafening silence that I'll have to write my own
routine to chain through my org.w3c.dom.Element and build my jdom document
step by step. I think this kinda defeats the object of the exercise and
renders jdom ineffective for my requirements. Doesn't this lack of function
make jdom unsuitable for anyone else also using org.w3c.dom.Element based
input ? Am I just missing the point here ?

Hi,

A lot my inputs reach me as Xerces Elements. I want to be able to convert
them to jdom documents or jdom root elements as efficiently as possible. Any
suggestions most welcome.

Thanks,
Keith Thomas
