I embed Rhino in my Java application. Given a Java String containing an
XML document, I need to:
  a) Convert it into Rhino's internal representation (XML or
XMLObject?)
  b) Store it away this representation if needed.
  c) Assign it to an ECMAScript variable at a later time.

I tried searching for samples of hos this is done, but all I could find
was one where a String containing an ECMAScript fragment is constructed
(e.g.):
String sJsCode = "var xml = <element> ... </element>;";

And the String is evaluated using Rhino.

Is there a more elegant way to do this? Something along the lines:
org.mozilla.javascript.xml.XML xmlObj = loadXmlFromString(xml);

Any help/pointers/reprimands for missing something obvious appreciated.
