Insert new tags after root element

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to insert new tags immediately after the root element in a DOM tree. The data to be inserted is being passed to the program as a string parameter. I've used Dom4J to add the data as a new element immediatelty after the root. Problem is, I'm not able to extract the content as a String from the document object. Here's my sample code :
String addStr = "<div class=\"test2\">Test Val1</div><div class=\"test2\">Test Val2</div>";
SAXReader reader = new SAXReader();
String xml = "<div class=\"discussionThread dt\"><div class=\"dt_subject\">2011 IS HERE!</div></div>";
Document document = reader.read(new StringReader(xml));
DefaultElement newElement = new DefaultElement("div");
newElement.addAttribute("class", "test");
newElement.add(new DefaultText(addStr));
List content = document.getRootElement().content();
if (content != null ) {
        content.add(0, newElement);
}There are couple of issues with this approach.
1. I'm not able to find a way to convert the Document object content to String. The only API reference is asXML() which converts the document to a xml and sends it back as String. As a result of this, it adds a <xml> tag at the top.Also,the content within the added String has been parsed and converted to &gt; , &lt;
Here's the output
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<div class="discussionThread dt"><div class="test">&lt;div class="test2"&gt;Test Val1&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="test2"&gt;Test Val2&lt;/div&gt;</div><div class="dt_subject">2011 IS HERE!</div></div>Just wanted to know if there's a better way to do this. Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
-Thanks

from oracle documentation...
Old and new values are available in both BEFORE and AFTER row triggers. A new column value can be assigned in a BEFORE row trigger, but not in an AFTER row trigger (because the triggering statement takes effect before an AFTER row trigger is fired). If a BEFORE row trigger changes the value of new.column, then an AFTER row trigger fired by the same statement sees the change assigned by the BEFORE row trigger.
