Setting Owner Document

[George Papamarkos <g....@dcs.bbk.ac.uk>]

Hi all,
        I am trying to find a way to set the owner document of a node to the
one I want. Is there any proprietary way to do so?
I would appriciate any help.

Regards,

George

You should use adoptNode [1] either by casting to
org.apache.xerces.dom.DocumentImpl or by using Xerces2 DOM level 3
support (still experimental) [2].

Thank you,

I don't know whether Xerces has prototyped this, but DOM Level 3 introduces
the adoptNode() method. Support for it will be optional even after DOM3 is
a recommendation, but if it can be done at all that's the semi-portable way
to do it.

If not, see the DOM FAQ re importNode() and other ownerDocument issues.
