In effect, just reverse what you did above. Retrieve your desired document
from a collection as an XMLResource object.  Then use the getContent()
method of that resource to get the serialized document into a string, and
store that string into the filesystem as your "real" file in the normal way.

Or look at /samples/org/exist/examples/xmldb/Retrieve.java in your exist
tree, and substitute a filesystem write for the
System.out.println(res.getContent()); call near the end of that example.
