extracting XML from XML 1

[nikola11]

example XML:
<employee>
<location>
<id>3</id>
<timezone>2</timezone>
</location>
</employee>

i need to extract the location portion (with all the child nodes) of the employee node as a string. I'm using java and xpath. i can extract a value of a node w/o a problem, but i can't extract the xml (child nodes) of a given node.

any help is greatly appreciated!

You might have to look into dom level3 "load and save" (LS) which set the serializer interface. Check this out discussing with concrete examples.
