Displaying a JDOM objects data content (also using ROME API)

[sal]

I have a problem with JDOM – I’ve used the rome api to output a rss feed
as a JDOM object – this works fine. However I want to output just the
contents of the Jdom obect (minus the xml tags) but im having problems
with the following code.

Code below outputs a jdom object, using the rome api, and its copied
into a jdom document
Document doc = outputjdom.outputJDom(feed);

Next im using the doc.toString() method ( part of jdom) to see if the
document holds the xml file.

System.out.println(doc.toString());

However, it doesn’t display the Document contents. where am I going
wrong ? and what do I need to do to start outputing the contents ? I
think the problem lies with the way im assigning the ouputted jdom
object to a jdom document here:

Document doc = outputjdom.outputJDom(feed);

any ideas would be appreciated.

console output when the code is run:

init:
deps-jar:
compile:
run:
[Document: No DOCTYPE declaration, Root is [Element: <rss/>]]
content size is 1
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 2 seconds)
