G'day,
I am in the process of building a transformation engine using xerces
& xalan. A feature (I hope I haven't missed it in the doco) that would be
really nice would be the ability to change the owner document (both shallow
& deep) for a node subtree. I am using the importNode() method at the
moment, but this is expensive because its doing a clone under the
skin. As well as the ability to be able to "copy", a "cut" would be very
useful.
When I began playing with XML under java, I started with the Sun XML
libraries and they offered a changeOwnerDocument() method which was quite
nice. Is there any
intention to offer a similar feature in the near future for xerces?
