The XMLoutputter writes to a outputstream or writer object.

exsample:

java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream();

org.jdom.output.XMLOutputter outputter = new org.jdom.output.XMLOutputter();

outputter.output(this.parsedDocument, baos);


Java has outputstream and writer objects that stores what writen to them
in byte arrays (java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream) , string(buffer)
(StringWriter) or Character arrays (CharArrayWriter). 

You also have reader/inputstream classes if you need to
read any of these as a stream.
