In addition to Ian's answer, I suppose to first create a Document, as the unchecked cast can be omitted this way:

Document document =
    DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder().newDocument();
JAXB.marshal(jaxbElement, new DOMResult(document));
Element element = document.getDocumentElement();

You could marshal to a DOMResult:

DOMResult res = new DOMResult();
marshaller.marshal(myJaxbElement, res);
Element elt = ((Document)res.getNode()).getDocumentElement();
