+% GETXDOC retrieves an object with given id from the LTPDA
+% repository specified by the input database connection. The object is
+% converted from its XML text format to an Xdoc. This can then be converted
+% into an object using the appropriate object constructor.
+%
+% Usage: xdoc = getXdoc(conn, id)
+%
+% Inputs:
+%         conn - a database connection object
+%         id   - the object id
+%
+% Outputs:
+%         xdoc - an Xdoc representation of the object.
