You can use a dummy javax.xml.transform.Transformer A psudo code snip:
Transformer transformer = TransfomerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer(); transformer.transform(new DOMSource(yourDOM), New StreamResult(yourStream)); You need Xalan for this. -- Li Liang -----Original Message----- From: Swanson, Brion [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2001 11:02 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: JAXP and serialization APIs I'm sorry, I was unclear with my use of 'serialize'. I meant serializing the DOM into XML (as in the org.apache.xml.serialize package). I'd like to have a standard interface for serializing a DOM to XML without having to commit to one particular implementation (such as Xerces implementation). I'm interested in this because of a recent effort to make my code a bit more "portable" - that is, using standard APIs rather than some third-party's specific implementation of XML processing and serializing. Hope this clears things up for you. -------------- Brion Swanson - West Group / Rochester, NY mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Reynolds, Ron [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2001 10:34 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: JAXP and serialization APIs do the serialization by hand? serialization requires binary compatibility between objects (with relatively simliar VMs). of course you could always convert the DOM to XML and serialize that, which is probably easier than doing it by hand and has roughly the same result. either way i don't think you can avoid constructing a new DOM tree on the receiving side and expect it to self-populate from the incoming serialized DOM tree (unless they have matching internal implementations). -----Original Message----- From: Swanson, Brion [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2001 7:17 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: JAXP and serialization APIs I know that JAXP is a common API for parsing XML (that is, you can plug any compliant XML parser in without changing any code), but is there anything like that for serializing a Document? I must be missing something because I'm not finding any serializers that aren't tied to any given package. For example, I'm using Xerces to do my parsing through its implementation of the JAXP API. I'd also like to serialize a Document or two, but it appears that I now must tie my application into some particular implementation - that is to say, Xerces. Is there anyway I can get around this? -------------- Brion Swanson - West Group / Rochester, NY mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
