Hi,

In fact I am already using JDOM to parse the Response coming back from 
the BWCTL MP. It never occured to me to actually use JDOM for creating 
the Request also (what was that again about searching the solution too 
far, while the simple answer is right under your nose ;)). Since I have 
to change my implementation of the creator anyway to support multiple 
metadata and data blocks, I'll just rewrite it and use JDOM instead.

Thanks,

Stijn
