hi,
I have a problem using dom4j to insert a new node into a specific position
in the tree.
This is because the insertBefore(Node newNode, Node refNode) is not defined
in com.dom4j.Node interface,
but only implemented in "org.dom4j.dom.DOMElement", which is derived from
"org.dom4j.tree.DefaultElement".
But the default implementation of dom4j seems to be creating DefaultElement
instead of DOMElement.
If you get an object from method like
Element test = Element.clone() or
Element test = DOMDocument.getRootElement();
You can't cast test into DOMElement, because internally it is created as
DefultElement.
Therefore, you can't do a test.insertBefore(newNode, refNode) on test,
because inserBefore() is only supported in DOMElement level.
I have checked dom4j.Node interface and found insertBefore() is not defined
there.
I think insertBefore is a very important feature that has been define in DOM
Node, so I think it should
be included into the dom4j.Node interface.
Anyone encounter similia problem and knows a way to round about this?
thx,
amber
