How do I create a DOM object from a node in another DOM object ?

[Is...@DataBeam.com]

Hi all,
     I want to create a DOM object from a Node in another DOM object. I can
already guarantee that the Node will be a valid XML document, I just need
to know the syntax to get this to work.

I want to do something like this:

Document original_doc = (DOMParser)parser.getDocument();

Document new_doc = new DocumentImpl();

new_doc.appendChild(original_doc.getDocumentElement().getChildNodes().item(
1));

This should create a new DOM object from a node in the original DOM object,
but it just gives me an error:
"org.apache.xerces.dom.DOMExceptionImpl: DOM005 Wrong Document"

Can anyone help me with this ?

Try...

new_doc.appendChild(new_doc.importNode(original_doc.getDocumentElement().getChildNodes().item(1), true));
