Hello,
We finally solve the problem by using a Java applet accessed through
javascript to copy the xml content to the clipboard with a mime type of
"text/xml". It works fine when using it under linux, but not under
windows and I can't figure out why. Here is the very simple code I use
for the applet:
public class ClipboardApplet extends Applet implements ClipboardOwner {
private Clipboard clipboard;
@Override
public void init() {
clipboard = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard();
}
public boolean copy(final String mimeType, final String content) {
clipboard.setContents(new DataHandler(content, mimeType), this);
return true;
}
@Override
public void lostOwnership(Clipboard clipboard, Transferable contents) {
// Nothing
}
}
The "copy" method is used by javascript:
ClipboardApplet.copy('text/xml', xmlCode);
xmlCode being for example:
<?xml version="1.0"?><ns:clipboard
ns2:inclusion="com.xmlmind.xml.xinclude.XInclude:href="http://localhost:9000/workspaces/GeneralElectric/content/en/fragments.xml"
xpointer="lorem-ipsum"" ns2:readOnly="true"
ns2:sourceURL="http://localhost:9000/workspaces/GeneralElectric/content/en/fragments.xml";
xmlns:ns2="http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/namespace/property";
xmlns:ns="http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/namespace/clipboard";><para
xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"; xml:id="lorem-ipsum" vendor=""
role="check">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit,

Am I doing something wrong here?
Thanks for your help.
