how to make a comment?

[alexsandrovp <al...@netscape.net>]

Hi all,

I'm new to xerces and I'm using DOM in my current project.
I already know how to parse the xml file and get pointers to DOMNode objects
of my interest.

What I would like to learn is how can I comment out a particular node. Is
there a way to change the node type from ELEMENT_NODE to COMMENT_NODE? How
is the proper way to do it?

Thanks in advance.

There is no way in DOM to change the type of a node; you need to 
serialize the element using DOMWriter::writeToString (you may need to 
call setFeature(XMLUni::fgDOMXMLDeclaration, false) to turn off the 
generation of the XML PI), then create a DOMComment with the returned 
string, then use DOMNode::replaceChild to switch the two nodes.
