I'm a little confused abut exactly what you're trying to do. I expect 
there's way to do it, just not through the approach you're taking, but 
I'm not sure.

Generally when access to something is hidden in XOM it's either :

A. Because it might change in the future
B. Because access to it would allow the creation of malformed documents.

In this case, I think it's the latter.

To convert to JDOM you can use a XOM SAXConverter to feed data into 
JDOM. To convert from JDOM you can use a JDOM SAXOutputter to send 
events to XOM.
