Hi,

sorry if this is an "old" question, but the list archive at
http://archive.covalent.net seems not to work for some days now (I
only get a "document contained no data").

My Problem is:

I would like to have access to the info "what element is possible at
a certain place in the DOM", during the creation of a document
(based on a given DTD/schema) from scratch. 

I know how to access the basic DTD structure with the
"grammar-access" feature (even if it's in schema representation :-).
But I don't want to re-invent all the regular expressions stuff
neccessary to test whether a given sequence of elements is valid for
a certain parent element.

My idea was, that the validotor should allready have this
information. The XMLContentModel provides a method whatCanGoHere()
which looks quite like what I want. But I don't have any clue on how
to access this...

How do I set up the Grammar from a DTD file? And how do I connect
this to a DOM Document in work?

Well, I could imagine to use the "try'n'error" methode:

Streaming out the DOM Document (after each insert of an Element)
into the validating parser, catching SAXParseExceptions. But this is
not really elegant ;-)

I hope someone has a hint for me. Or do you think this is a question
for the developer list?

Thanks in advance,

Andi.
