Creating JDOM Document from a String

[John Fairbairn]

How can I create a JDOM document from a String? I know you can use an InputStream, File, or URL object to create a JDOM document.
The only way I've got so far is to use the StringBufferInputStream which is deprecated. The api suggest using the StringReader object but class extends java.io.Reader not java.io.InputStream.

 public void logEntry(String poXML, String action) {
    POTransactionLogEntry logEntry = null;
    
    StringBufferInputStream sb = new StringBufferInputStream(poXML);
    //Parse out log entry details
    try {
        DOMBuilder builder = new DOMBuilder("org.jdom.adapters.JAXPDOMAdapter");
        Document doc = builder.build(sb);
        System.out.println("Got JDOM document!");
    }
    catch (JDOMException e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }

Hi
You can have the ByteArrayInputStream :-
ByteArrayInputStream oByteArrayInputStream=new ByteArrayInputStream(String.getBytes());

Try this!

I tried this on a jsp page and it worked. Should work for you.

String XMLQuestions = request.getParameter("XMLQuestions");
SAXBuilder sxBuild = new SAXBuilder();
Document doc = sxBuild.build(new StringReader(XMLQuestions));
Element root = doc.getRootElement();
out.print(root.getContent());

The "build(InputSource)" method is the one you want. Take a moment to inspect the constructors of org.xml.sax.InputSource and you'll see what I mean.
