CreateDOMDocument

[Born Franz <Fr...@blr.spcnl.co.in>]

Maybe I was a little too early in getting CreateDOMDocument and trying to
run it with xerces1.0.1 under VC++5.0.

Especially as I faced the problem, that 
    DOM_Element rootElem = doc.getDocumentElement();
returned a "0-pointer".

I applied the following changes (#else) and now it works. 

    DOM_DOMImplementation impl;
    
    DOM_Document doc = impl.createDocument(
                0,                    // root element namespace URI.
                "company",            // root element name
                DOM_DocumentType());  // document type object (DTD).

#if 0
    DOM_Element rootElem = doc.getDocumentElement();
#else
    DOM_Element rootElem = doc.createElement("company");
	doc.appendChild(rootElem);
#endif

----------

Now I'd like to know, how to parse a given DTD separately, so I can use it
for validation of the new created document. 

Best regards,



Franz

This is a known bug in xerces 1.0.1 and has been fixed.
You can get the fix from CVS (copy and paste the code of
the 2nd constructor in DocumentImpl.cpp) or wait for the
upcoming new release.
