RE: Document.getElementById method not implemented

[Yana Kadiyska]

Hi David,  sorry for not getting back to you earlier – the current DOM implementation is not schema aware at all…thus propagating type information (which is what the ID type of the attributes is) is non-trivial…We are looking into supporting that as part of DOM Level 3 if we implement it in v3.   You are of course welcome to come up with a patch/solution of your own, but the solution is non-trivial (otherwise we’d just do it)…You can start by looking at the store package, which contains the Dom Implementation...   -Yana   From: David Garcia [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 07, 2005 11:07 AM To: user@xmlbeans.apache.org Subject: Document.getElementById method not implemented       Hi,   I’m using xmlBeans together with Apache xml security framework and when working with ds:References , if they are #xpointer expressions the Document.getElementById() method  is called (in the xmlBeans implementation it delegates it’s execution to the DomImpl class ), but in the current version a RuntimeException( "Not implemented" ) is thrown L .   For avoiding this, I use a xpath query like this: "//[EMAIL PROTECTED]'"+id+"']" but I don’t like this solution much…               I know that on the svn current version there is code to support DTD matching id’s but schemas are not supported… yet.               Is there any plan to implement it?  How could I implement it using the code contained on the current svn version?     Regards   Dave Garcia
