New user having trouble moving a node
Hello. I'm very new to XML in general and the Xerces
Java parser in particular. I'm trying to copy an
Element from one document to another and I'm having
trouble. I'm trying to do something like this:
Element tmpElement = (Element) aNode.getFirstChild(
);
aNodeInADifferentDoc.appendChile(tmpElement);
This throws the exception DOM005 Wrong document.
Okay, so the node holds a reference to the document
which created it. How do I get around this? I'm
almost at the point of creating a new node in the new
document and manually transferring all information
including subnodes, but there has to be an easier way!
Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
-Jason

You have first to make your child adopted by the new document with
something like
newDoc.adopt(child);
(I don't remember the syntax very precisely).
Then you can do an appendChild.
