    Default Incompatible Types using DOMParser getDocument

    Hello. I'm receiving the following exception when calling the getDocument method. We have included the proper jar file, so I'm not sure why this error is occurring. Thanks in advance for the assistance.

    The specific error is:

    java:85: error: incompatible types
    doc = parser.getDocument();

    required: org.dom4j.Document
    found: org.w3c.dom.Document
    1 error


    The relevant code:
    import org.dom4j.Document;
    import org.dom4j.DocumentHelper;
    import org.dom4j.Element;
    import org.dom4j.Node;
    import org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser;

    DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
    org.dom4j.Document doc;
    parser.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(s_xml)));
    doc = parser.getDocument();

    Default Re: Incompatible Types using DOMParser getDocument

    I've not used dom4j, but doesn't it have its own parser, one that will return an org.dom4j.Document?
