RE: this is the ultimate stupid question, but i have to ask.

> turning xml into a string representation.

well, the way i've always done it (shock-horror)

String s = "";

s += xmlDoc.getDocumentElement();

to work, you have to use += , cant just do s = xmlDoc.getDocumentElement();
I know there's some other ways hidden in our code somewhere using streams
but this strange way works for me so I keep using it ;)
