[MOBY-l] MobyRequest or CentralImpl ?

[Benjamin Good]

In response to my own question regarding building a GenericSequence 
query object, the following bit of code does the job but I feel like I'm 
missing something.  

        MobyDataType the_type = new MobyDataType("");
        the_type = central.getDataType("GenericSequence");
        String seq_object =    "<moby:GenericSequence namespace='' id=''>"+
            "<moby:String namespace='' id='' 
articleName='SequenceString'>"+query+"</moby:String>"+
            "</moby:GenericSequence>";
        MobyDataSimpleInstance mobySimpleInstance = new 
MobyDataSimpleInstance(the_type,"","");
        mobySimpleInstance.setValue(seq_object);       

It looks like the only alternative is to build the object as a DOM, but 
not being familiar with DOM building this seems like more trouble than 
its worth.  Please, show me the path to enlightenment and intelligent 
creation of moby objects in Java.
