[jdom-interest] Please Help!

[Molina, Alexis E]

Hello All:
   I'm in a serious jam here, and I'm hoping someone can help.
I have created a class (SchedulerJDOMHandler.class) that uses SaxBuilder to
grab some data from an XML source, based on an ID I pass it.
I have a servlet that invokes the getData() method of
SchedulerJDOMHandler.class.  The getData method should retrieve a list of
values from the xml file, then append them to a url string as parameters,
and return the final url string to the servlet.
To test it, I also created a little program called TestClass.class.  This
program and servlet are virtually identical in their function.

The problem is, when I run TestClass, it returns the final string perfectly
like so:
C:\Program Files\Allaire\JRun\servers\default\cdnm\WEB-INF\classes>java
TestClass
../scheduler/config_scheduler.jsp?id="ftp.dc.viacom.com"&zone="North
America - East"&mantype="Cisco Content Switch"&format="MIB"&pollfreq="5"
&ftpurl="ftp://ftp.dc.viacom.com"&userid="user2"&pass="pass2"

But, when I do the same thing from the servlet, it only returns what the url
string was initialzed to (like: ../scheduler/config_scheduler.jsp?), but
without the appended parameter values grabbed from the XML source.   For
your convenience, I am pasting the code for the 3 classes below.  Could
someone please explain why TestClass.class get's the correct data returned
to it, but the servlet (GetSchedulerData.class) doesn't?  A serious thanks,
in advance, to anyone that can possibly help!  If it would help to have the
XML file, please let me know and I'll be glad to post it as well.

Appreciatively,
