How to get an xml subtree using DOM?
Hi all,
I am using Xerces DOM library. I want to get a subtree (everything
including the tags ) from an xml document as a string ( and save this
subtree into a xml/text file). Currently I am using the TreeWalkerImpl
class and nextSibling() and getCurretnNode() to traverse the xml tree.
(The reason why I want to do this is I needed to get the subtree as an
xml file to feel it to a Mathml to image converter program.)
Much appreciate if you can send me some codes or point me which methods
I need to use. Thanks!!
Anthony

I think this can be done by first reaching to the node whose subtree you
require and then serialize that subtree into the string.

Use a serializer such as in:
public static String outerXML(Node sourceNode) {
try {
Transformer outerXmlTransformer =
createTransformerFactory().newTransformer();
outerXmlTransformer.setOutputProperty("omit-xml-declaration", "yes");
DOMSource nodeSource = new DOMSource(sourceNode);
StringWriter resultStringWriter = new StringWriter();
StreamResult streamResult = new StreamResult(resultStringWriter);
outerXmlTransformer.transform(nodeSource, streamResult);
return resultStringWriter.toString();
} catch (Exception ex) {
return Constants.EMPTY_STRING;
}
}
