dom to String

[Raju Vaidya <va...@fokus.gmd.de>]

Hi all,

I am new in using xalan.

I am using xalan-j for a corba project. i am sending 'xml' from client to
server and vice versa as String. therefore is it possible to convert dom
object to String using 'serializer' or something else. and is it possible to
converted this 'String' representing xml doc to dom?

i can save use SerializerFactory to dom object and save it to a file using
serializer.setOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("filename.xml"));
i can read the file and save it it string. it would be better if i can copy
to String directly.

I would be greatful if someone can help.

regards,
R.N. Vaidya

Hi, Raju!

Instead of using a FileOutputStream you could use a
ByteArrayOutputStream:
	
	ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
	serializer.setOutputStream(out);
	...		
	out.flush();
	out.close();
	System.out.println("xml string is " + out.toString());
	
Bye, 
Harald
