Hi Paul,

Have you tried using piped streams? Something along the lines of the
following:

final StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
XMLOutputter xmlOut = new XMLOutputter("  ", true);
PipedOutputStream pipedOut = new PipedOutputStream();
PipedInputStream pipedIn = new PipedInputStream(pipedOut);
		
final BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(pipedIn));
Runnable readerThread = new Runnable() {
   public void run() {
      String temp;
      try
      {
         while ( (temp = reader.readLine()) != null)
         {
            buffer.append(temp).append("\n");
         }
      }
      catch (IOException io) {}
   }
};
Thread t = new Thread(readerThread);
t.start();
xmlOut.output(doc, pipedOut);
try
{
   t.join(100);
}
catch(InterruptedException ie) { }
		
pipedOut.flush();
pipedOut.close();
reader.close();
String xmlResult = buffer.toString();

You could simply pass the result to the "reader" class, or pass it the
BufferedReader in its constructor.
