RE: setNodeValue not working

[Mannion, Enda]

Sorry to keep pestering on this one,   But I just can’t get setTextContent to work for me even when I cast it to an element.       Is there anything else I need to do after I call setTextContent to write the text to the XML file?     My current call to setTextContent throws an exception with code=9 = NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR.     Enda   From: Jesse Pelton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 06 June 2006 18:27 To: c-dev@xerces.apache.org Subject: RE: setNodeValue not working   setTextContent isn't supported for DOMNode, which is the class you're using. Try casting aNode to a DOMElement pointer before calling setTextContent(). This is safe because you've already checked that it really is an element node.                       ((DOMElement*)aNode)->setTextContent(DOMStr("New Text")); From: Mannion, Enda [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 06, 2006 12:51 PM To: c-dev@xerces.apache.org Subject: RE: setNodeValue not working Gareth,   Is it possible for you to explain what you mean here??   > Yes it is common.

Can you give an example of what you are telling me or even correct my code:           DOMNodeList* list = docNode->getChildNodes(); DOMNode* aNode = NULL;     for(int i = 0; i<list->getLength(); i++) {   aNode = list->item(i);     if(DOMNode::ELEMENT_NODE == aNode->getNodeType()) {             char* nodeName = XMLString::transcode(aNode->getNodeName());             if(strcmp(nodeName, szTag.c_str()) == 0)             {                   aNode->setTextContent(DOMStr("New Text"));    // ß I want this to work                   break;             } } }     Also, I had exception handling code set and the exception code returned was 9 = Not Supported Error     Thanks, Enda                           -----Original Message----- From: Gareth Reakes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 06 June 2006 16:07 To: c-dev@xerces.apache.org Subject: Re: setNodeValue not working   Hi,   Mannion, Enda wrote: > Thanks, > > I have read the function spec and the exception is of type DOMException, > > The msg content of the exception class was not returned so I am not sure > if it refers to this > > DOMException  NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised when the node is > readonly.    Have you tried catching the DOMException and looking to see what type it is?       > Is it possible to see a sample of setTextContent() being called, surely > this is a very common function.   Yes it is common. Its likely because you are not using on an element. Not all node types can be set this way.   > > Is this the standard way to update text in an XML tag?   This or add new children.     Gareth   -- Gareth Reakes, Managing Director           Embrace Mobile +44-1865-811197              http://www.embracemobile.com   --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
