Mr. Gaitonde, You could try using the org.apache.xml.serializer classes.
Something like this may do what you want:
import org.apache.xml.serialize.*; import java.io.*;
. . OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat( doc ); StringWriter stringOut = new StringWriter(); XMLSerializer serial = new XMLSerializer( stringOut, format ); serial.serialize( doc.getDocumentElement() );
Then you can access the string:
System.out.println( "STRXML = " + stringOut.toString() );

Hi,
I am new to the Xerces-J parser... I'd previously been using Sun's parser.
I am trying to get a Document "toStringed" so that I can send it to a back-end legacy app which currently doesn't understand DOM.
Sun's parser handled this easily because I could just do a Document.toString() and the entire tree would flatten into a string... "<hello>there</hello>"
Is there an easy way to do this sort of thing with Xerces? Thanks, Salil
