Convert Node to Document ?

Question

Hi All,
I am using xmlbeans for in my webservice client. i am calling the webservice usgin SOAP APIs. I am facing a problem :
I created the jar file out of my wsdl then instantiated one of the classes. Now i need to add the object in the SOAPMessage object, for which I did this:
        Node nd = myInstance.getDomNode();
       // Here I am getting error. I am not able to cast Node nd to a Document.
     SOAPBodyElement ele = soapBodyInstance.addDocument((Document) nd);Is there any other way to convert a node into document?

You can only perform casting in the reverse order ((Node)Document) because the Document interface is subclassed from the Node interface. Instead, you should do something like this:Node nd = myInstance.getDomNode();
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder parser = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
DOMImplementation domImpl = parser.getDOMImplementation();
Document doc = domImpl.createDocument(null, nd, null);
SOAPBodyElement ele = soapBodyInstance.addDocument(doc);
