Hi,
Are u trying to acheive indpendent of browser solution or just want to know the things..
well,I have one idea ok.
Using JavaScript Constructs the XmL as u want, "let say
<root><name>Lokesh</name><age>25</age></root>" before submitting the page(I mean frm.submit()) assign to a hidden variable, since you have post kind of submit back at the servlet from the request object get the value and store it as String and using StringReader you just parse the XML
Just try the above one the below code
     public org.w3c.dom.Document getXMLDocument() throws IllegalStateException,Exception
                    if (!containsXMLDocument())
                              throw new IllegalStateException("This request does not contain an XMLDocument");
               javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory dbf=javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
               javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder db=dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
               java.io.StringReader strRdr=new java.io.StringReader(_xmlString);
               org.xml.sax.InputSource ipSrc=new org.xml.sax.InputSource(strRdr);
               org.w3c.dom.Document doc=db.parse(ipSrc);
               return doc;
best of luck..
