In the xerces-c DOM_Document interface, I noticed that there was a static factory method called createDocument. The comment with this function states that it was added because the DOM API lacks a mechanism for the creation of new documents. However the DOM2 spec. now has a createDocument function in the DOM_DOMImplementation interface which takes in a name space URI, qualified name and document type parameters, but is not static. To use this new createDocument function without a reference to an existing DOMImplementation, one must use something similar to the following:
DOM_Document d = DOM_Document::createDocument().getDOMImplementation().createDocument(nsURI, qn, dt); This seems unintuitive. Are there any plans to either make the new createDocument static and/or move the old DOM_Document factory method over to DOM_DOMImplementation? Blaine Brodie
