Yes, I do know the root element name at the time of the doctype's creation.
However, if
at all possible, I'd prefer not to have a doctype at all. When I tried to
create
a document using the following:
recordDoc = dom.createDocument ("", localName, null);
I end up with the following exception:
org.w3c.dom.DOMException: DOM002 Illegal character
at
org.apache.xerces.dom.DocumentImpl.createElementNS(DocumentImpl.java:1277)
at org.apache.xerces.dom.DOMImplementationImpl.createDocument
(DOMImplementationImpl.java:196)
I've also tried creating a 'null' doctype (which worked in previous versions
of Xerces)
using the code:
doctype = dom.createDocumentType (null, null, "");
and substituting the 'doctype' variable for the 'null' in the previous line
of code. The
results are the same.
What I'm trying to do is create a new document with no namespace (except
perhaps the default
one) which I will then manipulate later on.
I hope I answered your question and/or made my problem a little clearer.
Thank you for your help,
Brion Swanson
