Just trying to find a way to convert a Dom4J Document content to String. It has a asXML() API which converts the content to a XML. In my case,I'm editing a non-xml DOM structure using Dom4J and trying to convert the content to String. I know its possible in case of w3c document.

Any pointers will be appreciated.

Thanks
