Include XML string into the pipline via transformer

[Stephan Coboos <cr...@gmx.net>]

Hello,

I need to include xml coming from a database as string into the pipline 
via my own transformer. (Please do not ask why writing my own 
transformer. I need it..). I had seen, including xml coming form sources 
(xml files) is very easy using the SourceUtil. But how can I include xml 
which exists not as source but as string? Is there already a tool 
avaiable which makes it easy like the SourceUtil?

Any examples?

Thank you very much.

Regards
Stephan

XSPUtil.java:
    public static void includeString(String string, ComponentManager 
manager, ContentHandler contentHandler)
            throws RuntimeException {
        XSPUtil.includeInputSource(new InputSource(new 
StringReader(String.valueOf(string))), manager,
                                   contentHandler);
    }

in transform(Document doc) you can access the document in a DOM like 
fashion ie

Element a = document.createElement("myelement");
Element b = document.createElement("myelementchild");
Element addedParameter = document.createElement("parameter");
addedParameter.setAttribute("name", "output");
Element addedParameterValue = document.createElement("value");
addedParameterValue.appendChild(document.createTextNode("some text here"));
addedParameter.appendChild(addedParameterValue);
b.appendChild(addedParameter);
a.appendChild(reqparams);
document.appendChild(req);

I don't know if there is an "easier" way than this.
