[jdom-interest] Problem with DOMOutputter

[Lesniak, Alex]

Hello,

I'm trying to use the DOMOutputter and keep getting the following error:

org.jdom.JDOMException: Exception outputting Document: DOM006 Hierarchy
request error 
	at org.jdom.output.DOMOutputter.output(DOMOutputter.java:168) 	
	at
com.thomson.cms.comsub.proxy.message.MessageTest.doTest(MessageTest.java:45)

I'm using JAXP with a recent Xerces CVS snapshot version of
DocumentBuilderFactory. 
With Xerces 1.3, I just get a null document from the outputter and no
exceptions.

I have tried this with Crimson, and it works.  

Is this a bug in Xerces, or a bug in JDOM? I've seen some discussion of
similar problems on the 
mailing list and in the archives, but I haven't found a satisfactory
solution to the problem (using
Crimson is not an option, so I need to use Xerces.)

Any ideas would be appreciated.  I would be happy to post this to the Xerces
list if this is not a
JDOM issue.

Thank you in advance for your respose,
