XOM API for Processing XML with Java

["New, Cecil (GEAE)" <cecil.new AT ae.ge.com>]

Under the covers of course it is a stream... but:

javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest.getParameter(String name)
(actually in superclass)

returns a String value.  Unless a multipart encoding is used, ServletRequest
parses and generally does all the grunt work and makes "form" values available
easily like this.  Works the same whether from a POST or a GET.

So I am assuming that passing an XML document created programmatically in 
memory
would be passed as "form parameter" to the receiving servlet.

I wonder which encoding is used or is envisioned for web services?

How would that work? Which APIs are you using? IN my experience, HTTP 
POST (and GET) normally uses streams. That's with sockets, 
java.net.URL, or servlets. Which APIs use strings?
