Hi everyone, Just to clarify, you don't need to extract the source from CVS to use the DOM L3 experimental implmentation. If you download the source and tools distributions for Xerces-J 2.5.0 (or several previous releases), and build the parser with the jars-dom3 target, you can use the draft version of DOM Level 3.
See the FAQ on the Xerces-J website: http://xml.apache.org/xerces2-j/faq-dom.html#faq-3 On Thu, 19 Sep 2003, Simon Kitching wrote: > On Thu, 2003-09-18 at 21:43, Gloria Yang wrote: > > Does revalidation means reparsing ? > > Can xerces revalidate a DOM tree without reparsing it? > > Cause performance is concerned. > > With the DOM2 standard API, there is unfortunately no way to revalidate > an XML document other than serializing it to text, then reparsing it.
