[jdom-interest] Solved: Creating mixedContent

[Paul Lawton]

A colleague has figured a work around:

We have now got it to work by using the DOMBuilder (instead of SAXBuilder)
and passing in a pre-parsed w3c.dom.document created from my string data.
It seems that the SAXBuilder.build()method isn't doing a correct/good job of
parsing the data.  Is this a bug in the SAXBuilder?
