Document.createElement(Integer.toString(int))

[Sampath K Settipalli <Sa...@genome.wi.mit.edu>]

Hi ,

  I just wonder can I create a Element with name as
Integer.toString(integer) . I want to replace TXElement el = new
TXElement(Integer.toString(int)); which seems to work. I need to migrate
to xerces and hence get rid of TXElement.
 I had replaced with this code
doc.createElement(Integer.toString(testV.size()));  //doc is Document
OR say doc.createElement(Integer.toString(0));
It fails with exception org.w3c.dom.DOMException: DOM002 Illegal
character
How can I get this working

thanks in Advance,
Sampath

Elements (and attribute) names are not allowed to
begin with a digit. Therefore, you need to create an
element with a name that starts with a letter or
some other allowed character. (Check the XML spec
for details.) For example:

   doc.createElement("n"+testV.size());

If TXElement allowed you to do this, then it was a
bug in the code.

XML Spec prohibit tagname starts with digit such as <1st />
<2nd /> etc.
