This is really a Xerces-C question. If you are not already subscribed to
the Xerces-C list, you should do so, and post your Xerces-C questions

You can perform the cast like this:
DOM_Element
foo(const DOM_Node& node)
{
DOM_Element elem = static_cast<const DOM_Element&>(node);
return elem;
}

| Subject: adding attributes to Node objects.
|
>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Hi,
I am very new to Xerces and Xalan.
I am working with DOM_Node and related APIs.
When I apply an XPath to a DOM_Document type object(first converting it to
XalanDocument using XercesDocumentBridge API), I finally have a list of
DOM_Node objects of type Element nodes.
I now have to add attributes these elements. As they are contained in
DOM_Node objects, i cannot use the setAttribute function as it is defined
only for DOM_Element objects.
Can anybody give me a clue as to how this can be done.
When I try to cast a DOM_Node ptr to DOM_Element pointer, i get the syntax
error: "the source object is not polymorphic".(I am using gcc 2.95).
Is this a problem witb the compiler or am I doing something vague :-)
Basically, I am looking for a solution as to how to invoke the methods of
Elements if I have a Node object and it is known that the node is of type
Element.
A quick reply would be highly appreciated.
