XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Ryan Mills <ryanmills AT mac.com>]

Hi all,

Thanks for everyone for making XOM what it is. I used it recently to give me 
the exact line and column number for a malformed xml file. It was 2mb large, 
and I could not find anything to tell me where the problem was! [until 
firefox 1.5 came along that is]  ;) 

I have a quick question regarding using XOM or using an existing 
org.w3c.dom.Document. I maintain a relatively popular application for 
converting vCards to LDIF (http://mills.zapto.org/projects/vcf2ldif/), but 
lately, a lot of the additions to make it support...well, practically all the 
vCard 3.0 and 2.1 formats have made me wonder if there was a better way to 
parse. Looking at vCard4j for a while, and it might help with some parsing.

The vCard4j creates a org.w3c.dom.Document. I would like to later use some of 
the functionality in XOM, such as better attributes searching, XPath support 
etc...Is there a way to convert this to a nu.xom.Document without saving to 
an XML file using some kind of serializer first and then reading it back in? 
Looking at the JavaDocs and Tutorials for XOM, it does not appear possible.

Any direction would be appreciated,
Ryan Mills
