Sigh....the problem of language...I always think I'm being sooo clear. :)

I'm trying to integrate the XOM library into existing 3rd party software.

The JDOM example I gave was just to show how the same integration
is done in JDOM. Otherwise, I don't care about JDOM.

The API of the 3rd party software expects an XMLReader containing a
ContentHandler. I need this to be an XOM ContentHandler.

Bottom line question: How to build an XMLReader containing an
XOM ContentHandler (such as nu.xom.NonVerifyingHandler)?
Is there a way to do this?


Extra (not crucial but possibly helpful) Information
----------------------------------------------------------------
-- The 3rd party software API is going to extract the SAX ContentHandler
from the given XMLReader and allow it to handle the events generated
by parsing an internally encapsulated document.

--- JDOM has already been integrated into the 3rd party library because
it allows the user to get an instance of a JDOM Content Handler:

   org.jdom.input.SAXHandler sh = new SAXHandler();
   XMLReader xrdr = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader();
   xrdr.setContentHandler(sh);
   xrdr.setProperty("http://xml.org/sax/properties/lexical-handler";, sh);
   3rdPartyClass.exampleAPICall(xrdr);
