Java store xml file contents into a string

I have a static method that creates an xml file and I would like it to return the raw xml file as a string. After creating the xml file I would like to read from the file and convert it to a string. How do I go about doing so?

you could turn to, for the file handling, to the apache.commons.io library.

This one has build in convenience functions for reading and storing files.

So for reading

org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils#readFileToString(File file)

and for writing

org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils#writeStringToFile(File file, String data)

See here for javadoc http://commons.apache.org/io/
