Node.toString() implementation missing in Xerces?
Hi friends,
Im using the xerces 131 version jar files. Im using the DOM to
parse xmls.
Im noticing that the Node.toString() is returning empty string. I
have a node which is a tree of various elements and I expected
the node.toString() to give me a string
like "<root><test>value</test></root>". but it is not happening and
i get an empty string.
im a previous project I used jaxp.jar and parser.jar to do xml
parsing, and when i use these jars Node.toString() gives me
the xmlstring representation of the node.
Can u suggest me any workaround to get a similar functionality just
as the node.toString()? or is xerces supporting toString() in a
diff way or diff method call?
Thanks
Naveen

org.apache.xml.serialize.XMLSerializer does what you want. There have
been a number of code examples posted here in the past, if you need them.
