Re: [dom4j-user] How do I convert a DOM element tree into a DOM4J document

[David D. Lucas]

You should be able to create a method for either direction ( based off the code below) that takes in a dom4j element and returns a w3c node by manipulating the org.w3c.dom.Document interface and remove/detach the first child and return it.

The opposite direction would be the same, take in a node, and return it as an element by getRootElement and detaching it.

Does that help?

// I use this code to convert from dom4j to a w3c DOM
Element input = ...
org.dom4j.io.DOMWriter domOut = new org.dom4j.io.DOMWriter();
Document fragDoc = DocumentHelper.createDocument(input);
org.w3c.dom.Document w3cDom = domOut.write(fragDoc);

// I use this code to convert from w3c DOM to dom4j

org.dom4j.io.DOMReader domIn = new org.dom4j.io.DOMReader();
Document fragDoc = domIn.read(w3cDom);
Element output = fragDoc.getRootElement();
output.detach();
// do whatever with the element (top of tree)
