System Id of Document

[Kichline, Don (EM, PTL)]

We are moving over from the Sun XML package.  We were using the
com.sun.xml.tree.XmlDocument.getSystemId() to retrieve the URI of the
document we are working on.  I can not find a similar function in the
org.w3c.doc.Document interface or any of the implementors.

I have the following code to now parse our XML documents.

public org.w3c.dom.Document getDocument(String fileName) {
        //          instantiate parser
        DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();

        //          installing error handler
        parser.setErrorHandler(new CPUTErrorHandler ());

        //          parsing document from URI string
        parser.parse(new File(fileName).toURL().toString());

        //          querying document after parse
        return parser.getDocument();
}

The concrete type of the Document is
"org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredDocumentImpl".  



This really is the only thing holding us up from using Xerces in our Web
App.

Thanks!
