XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[David Forslund <forslund AT mail.com>]

I'm trying to use XOM in a webapp and all ServletContext.getRealPath() 
to get the path to an XML file to process.  I'm doing this on windows.  
It yields a path with "\" in it as is normal on windoes.   But I get the 
following error:
nu.xom.ParsingException: Path contains invalid character: \ in 
C:\Java\resin-2.1.9\webapps\b-safer\WEB-INF/classes/xcode/symptoms.xml
       at nu.xom.Builder.build(Builder.java:1170)
       at nu.xom.Builder.build(Builder.java:562)
       at gov.lanl.Utility.xml.Resource.setXMLDOMSource(Resource.java:121)

I'm using 1.1b5 of XOM.   I'm not sure how to fix this problem.

thanks,

Dave
