Re: replaceChild

[Jeffrey Rodriguez]

Mr. Sneekes,
No your interpretation about [#document:  null] and  dom.toString() is not 
exactly correct.
The implementation of toString is as follows:

public String toString() {
       return "["+getNodeName()+": "+getNodeValue()+"]";
   }
According to the DOM1 specification the  following are the name
and value for a DOM Document:
name  = #document
value = null
Therefore this is not a bug.
Going back to your original request this is what I had in mind:
Node nodeClonedFromAnotherDocument;
nodeClonedFromAnotherDocument = parsedDom.importNode(theRealElement, true); 
// This copies theRealElement from another document into parsedDOM

parsedDom.replaceChild( nodeClonedFromAnotherDocument, theElement);// 
replace theElement with nodeClonedFromAnotherDocument

You can pass your document to the dom.DOMWriter printer method
to traverse the dom and print out your document this would show
your "theElement" node replaced by the nodeClonedFromAnotherDocument.
Thanks,

Hi Jeffrey,
I thought this would work, but both (parent) Documents seems to be
[#document:  null] if I do Document dom.toString(). And if I look in the
Xerces 1.0.2 code this check is made before replaceChild() can be done. Is
this a bug of the Xerces DomParser?
What to do?
Cheers,
Peet
New code:
    parsedDom.importNode(theRealElement, true);
    parsedDom.replaceChild(theElement, theElement);
