I've been using a slightly simpler method than Craig's to get the body
content. I use this:
digester.addCallMethod("database/user/text", "setText", 0);
I got the idea for this from the JavaDoc comment for addCallMethod, which
says that specifying zero for the parameter count means "a single parameter
from the body of this element".
I don't know if there's any practical difference, other than being one line
of code instead of two. :-)
