[jdom-interest] document/element from string

[chris markiewicz]

hello.

due to some performance issues, some of the xml docs in my code float around
as Strings.  Is there or will there be any easy way to convert a String (or
Stream) representation of an xml doc into a Document or an Element?
obviously i could convert the string to a DOM and then to a JDOM, but i
would like to go straight to a JDOM, for obvious reasons.

thanks
chris
