[Patch] Patch for javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder

[Jeffrey Haškovec]

Is it possible to get 2 more parse methods added to DocumentBuilder as
below:

/**
     * Parse the content of the given <code>Reader</code> as an XML
     * document and return a new DOM {@link Document} object.
     * An <code>IllegalArgumentException</code> is thrown if the
     * <code>Reader</code> is null.
     *
     * @param is Reader containing the content to be parsed.
     *
     * @return <code>Document</code> result of parsing the
     *  <code>Reader</code>
     *
     * @throws IOException If any IO errors occur.
     * @throws SAXException If any parse errors occur.
     * @throws IllegalArgumentException When <code>is</code> is
<code>null</code>
     *
     * @see org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler
     */

    public Document parse(Reader reader)
    throws SAXException, IOException {
    if (reader == null) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Reader cannot be null");
        }

    InputSource in = new InputSource(reader);
    return parse(in);
    }

    /**
     * Parse the content of the given <code>Reader</code> as an
     * XML document and return a new DOM {@link Document} object.
     * An <code>IllegalArgumentException</code> is thrown if the
     * <code>Reader</code> is null.
     *
     * @param is Reader containing the content to be parsed.
     * @param systemId Provide a base for resolving relative URIs.
     *
     * @return A new DOM Document object.
     *
     * @throws IOException If any IO errors occur.
     * @throws SAXException If any parse errors occur.
     * @throws IllegalArgumentException When <code>is</code> is
<code>null</code>
     *
     * @see org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler
     */

    public Document parse(Reader reader, String systemId)
        throws SAXException, IOException {
        if (reader == null) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Reader cannot be null");
        }

        InputSource in = new InputSource(reader);
        in.setSystemId(systemId);
        return parse(in);
    }


Basically InputSource will already accept a Reader.  StringBufferInputStream
is deprecated and says to use StringReader.  DocumentBuilder won't parse a
reader, so my problem is I can't parse an XML file that I have as a String
in Memory.

Thanks for your consideration,
