See java-support,
net.shibboleth.utilities.java.support.xml.SerializeSupport.  One of the
nodeToString(...) or writeNode(...) methods.

Again java-support,
net.shibboleth.utilities.java.support.codec.Base64Support.


Although: I don't necessarily want to open a can of worms, but if what
you're actually doing is trying to do is serialize and encode the data
in order to implement SAML binding(s), we have higher level components
in both v2 and v3 that do all that for you.  In v3 for SAML 2, look at
the MessageEncoder impls in the saml-impl module, package
org.opensaml.saml.saml2.binding.encoding.impl.  For usage examples, take
a look at the unit tests for those.  It's not difficult.
