GWT's methods of implementing the DOM objects and the XML objects are totally different. The DOM implementation extends JavaScriptObject, whereas the XML objects encapsulate their JavaScriptObject structures. I would advise using the method I suggested, since it'll take a lot less of your time (and be technically a lot safer) than trying to do hackery with GWT's XML package.
String responseFromServer = ...; Element domElement = Document.get().createDivElement(); domElement.setInnerHtml(responseFromServer); NodeList<Node> children = domElement.getChildNodes(); If you need to work with sub-elements of the HTML / XML returned from the server, I would suggest using RPC, or embedding the HTML inside CDATA sections of the returned XML document. If you really feel the need to work with the HTML / XML by hand, you may need to make a copy of the GWT xml / xml.impl packages and expose the underlying JavaScriptObjects that make up the DOM structure (and even then: I'm not sure it'll work).
