I was just about to send this out, but Scott beat me to it. :-) Here's
where that code comes from:
http://svn.middleware.georgetown.edu/view/trunk/src/org/opensaml/xml/util/XMLHelper.java?root=java-xmltooling&view=markup
It's often used via the nodeToString():
public static String nodeToString(Node node) {
StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
writeNode(node, writer);
return writer.toString();
}
These 2 methods are by and large how we serialize DOM elements in the
Java version of OpenSAML, and seems to work quite successfully with
signature and encryption.
