Retrieving XMLs while parsing them

While parsing an XML, given a Node object, can I retrieve the raw XML that corresponds to that Node? I'm using Java and parsing the XML using JDOM.

Element.toString() should return a String representation of the Element but you can also use the XMLOutputter for that purpose (for writing the xml to some outputstream):

Element e=document.getRootElement();
XmlOutputter outputter=new XmlOutputter();
outputter.output(e,System.out);

this simple snippet should write the XML of the root element to stdout.

hope that helped..
