Hi Robert,
You need to add a new filter component to your parser pipeline. Your
filter must implement xni.parser.XMLDocumentFilter interface, and should
be responsible for adding a new element by calling an extra startElement
method.
You need also create your own configuration that will include this new
filter component. Just extend one of the existing configurations, i.e.
org.apache.xerces.parsers.DTDConfiguration or
IntegratedParserConfiguration (if you are worried about XML Schema
validation) and overwrite configurePipeline() method. For example, if
you want your filter to be the last component in the pipeline your code
for configurePipeline() should look as follows:
super.configurePipeline();
fLastComponent.setDocumentHandler(fMyFilter);
if (fDocumentHandler != null) {
fDocumentHandler.setDocumentSource(fMyFilter);
}
fLastComponent = fMyFilter;
Then, create a parser, i.e. org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser, passing
in the constructor this new configuration you want to use.
Read more about XNI pipelines here:
http://xml.apache.org/xerces2-j/xni-config.html
Also you can look at existing filter components and their
implementation: org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLNamespaceBinder,
org.apache.xerces.impl.dtd.XMLDTDValidator, etc.
Hope it helps,
