[jdom-interest] JDOM prob

[Matthew MacKenzie]

toString() is a method of java.lang.Object, which Element descends 
from...so that can't be it.  I think Element overrides it, but even if 
it didn't, the base class's version would be found.

Could you include the full stack trace?  It should contain enough 
information to point out where Java thinks the problem is coming from. 
 As a side note, why are you using DOMBuilder?
