There is more than one way to parse XML from string:
String xml = "Your XML";
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = db.parse(new ByteArrayInputStream(xml.getBytes("UTF-8")));
Using a SAXParser which can read an inputsource:
SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser saxParser = factory.newSAXParser();
DefaultHandler handler = new DefaultHandler() {
saxParser.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader("Your XML")), handler);
See: SAXParser, InputSource

No, it doesn't work, cause this intruction only set the name of the element.

@Abu why should this be a comment?

@pseudo2188 it returns an org.jdom.Element from the string whats the output you expect?

I think, the OP wants to parse a whole XML document which is contained in the string.

Not the whole document, in my input, I have a String, but this String corresponds to an XML element, I have to compare it with other variables witch are really XML elements, so I have to convert the first one

- Create a
Documentfrom your string. Look at JDOM FAQ: How do I construct a Document from a String? - Use method
Document.getRootElement()to access the root element.
(You mentioned package org.jdom so I assume you work with JDOM 1.1.)

I usually do this, but for my exemple it not necessary, cause, I have to declare namespaces that I used, and construct a valid XML
I recommend you use the Simple XML Framework from http://simple.sourceforge.net/.With this framework you can serialize and deserialize your objects easily. I hope this information can be important for you.
