It's not implemented? Why doesn't it say so in the XML4C documentation? Anyway, this means that, for now, I have to hard code somewhere knowledge of WHICH type of XML file I am saving (I am dealing with many different DTDs validating different XML files). This is certainly not what I desired.
In order to accomplish this I would have to get the document element from the DOM_Document, see what it is, then do a lookup in a table that would give me the appropriate <!DOCTYPE...> string to write out. Isn't there a nicer way to do this?

What I did is I have an DOM_WRITER class that I use to, you guessed it, write out a DOM to an XML file, character buffer, etc. The constructor for that class accepts the doctype specification and then, when DOM_WRITER::Write() gets called, it sneaks the doctype line into the XML. -----Original Message----- From: KRAUSE,MIKE (HP-FtCollins,ex1) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2000 3:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Getting DOCTYPE from xml file Hi, I'm using the DOMPrint example as the basis for a SaveFile function I'm writing. One problem I'm encountering is that the DOMPrint example does not print the <!DOCTYPE ...> declaration in my XML file. If I have the following sample XML file... <?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?> <!DOCTYPE foo SYSTEM "foo.dtd"> <foo> ... </foo> And the following code... (assume that doc is a valid DOM_Document node returned from the parser and that it refers to the aforementioned file) void somefunc(DOM_Document &doc) { DOM_DocumentType docType = doc.getDoctype(); DOMString dtdName = docType.getName(); } Why is it that if I call the DOM_Document's getDoctype() method I get a null DOM_DocumentType node? Should I be doing something else in order to print out the "<!DOCTYPE foo SYSTEM "foo.dtd">" line? One last thing... how do I output the first line of my XML document verbatim?
