XML String to JDom Document or Element?

[SpringPuzzled]

Hi guys

I'm currently using the following code

        JDOMSource source = new JDOMSource(parent);
        StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
        StreamResult result = new StreamResult(sw);
        getWebServiceTemplate().sendSourceAndReceiveToResult(source, result);
        SAXBuilder saxBuilder = new SAXBuilder("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser", true);
        Reader stringReader = new StringReader(sw.getBuffer().toString());
        Document jdomDocument = saxBuilder.build(stringReader);
        return jdomDocument.getRootElement();

to get my response from the called web service turned into a JDOM Element.

Could you please show me a different way of getting it turned into a JDOM Element, as I'm experiencing a very odd

java.lang.AbstractMethodError: org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredDocumentImpl.getXmlS tandalone()Z

when running the code.

Any ideas???

Cheers.
