Well, it's not really an XSLT or Xalan question, but Xalan and JAXP/TrAX provide an easy solution: just use an identity transformer. There are examples in the doc or the mailing list, something like: Transformer identity = transformerFactory.newTransformer(); identity.transform(new DOMSource(yourTotoNode), new StreamResult(someStreamWriter)); The identity transformer simply takes it's source (as a DOM, SAX events, or a Stream) and spits out a result (as a DOM, SAX events, or a Stream). - Shane > MAHE Vincent FTRD/DIH/REN wrote: > > > > Is it possible to serialize as a java string the content of one node and all > > its descendants ? > > > > For example, if I have the following node : > > <toto class="titi"> > > <titi>bla bla</titi> > > </toto> > > > > I want to get the following string : "<toto class="titi">\n<titi>bla > > bla</titi>\n</toto>" > > > > Thanks. > > > > Vincent Mahe ===== <eof aka="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" humor="'A Midsummer Night's Dream' - pick your quote" /> __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
