How to create a node-typed XmlValue from a String with Java?

Question

Hi all,
It's already been a while since I'm trying to get how to construct a node-typed XmlValue from a String value but I keep getting different exceptions no matter what method I try.
I started with the first way that came to my mind:
XmlValue value = new XmlValue("<element/>"); //Even though the String represents a valid xml node, calling value.isString() returns true.
then I thought ok, so I should maybe use the typed constructor:
XmlValue value = new XmlValue(XmlValue.NODE, "<element/>"); //_It does not work either, calling value.isNull() returns true.
I also tried with the rest of types (XmlValue.DOCUMENT, XmlValue.DOCUMENT_NODE, XmlValue.ELEMENT_NODE.....) and it did not work either with any of these.
Fiinally I saw that you can construct a new XmlValue from a XmlDocument but I cannot get a XmlDocument unless I phisically create one, which obviously wont be a very good idea.
So I'm definitely stuck with these, I would really appreciate if someone could tell me how to do this...
Thanks in advance,

PS: I'm using Berkeley dbxml 2.5.13

Hi Pablo,
        XmlDocument doc = manager.createDocument();
        doc.setContent("<bla/>");
        XmlValue val = new XmlValue(doc);
        System.out.println(val.getType() == XmlValue.NODE);
        System.out.println(val.asString());Try this. It doesn't create physically (that is in the container) a document. The output of this piece of program:
true
<bla/>Hope it helps
