jDom and Dom4j are pretty generic libraries aimed at easing the interaction with DOM. There is a class of libraries called O/X Mappers aimed specifically at object to xml conversion and vice-versa.
Look into libraries like Jaxb, XStream, XMLBeans, JiBX for more details. Of the ones mentioned, JAXB is a Sun initiative and has a pretty good standard acceptance. XStream seems to be pretty easy to use in case you have simple O/X mapping needs. Play around with those you'd surely find something which suits your needs.
