Here's how to get a DOM Document from a String containing XML in Java:

try{

  Document d = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder()

    .parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(xml)));

}catch(Exception e){

  System.err.println("Couldn't create XML document from string: "+e.getMessage());

}

It's a little easier if you use the com.sun.xml.tree.XmlDocument class, but that's not standard.

And AFAICT there's simply no way to create a Document directly. And all of these classes come from all different packages too, except for the first two.
