importNode()

[Ian Sweeny <Ia...@creaturelabs.com>]

Has anyone got any example code that successfully implements 
DOM_Document::importNode( )?

Here's what I'm trying to do at the moment:

	DOM_Node import_node = sourceNode.getFirstChild();

	DOM_Node temp_node = doc.importNode(import_node, true);

	myDOMNode.appendChild(temp_node);

myDOMNode if the root node of the DOM tree I wish to import into.
doc is my DOM_Document that I wish to import into.
sourceNode is the root node of the source tree I wish to import.

Without doing getFirstChild( ) on the source tree, so I get the first
element in the tree,
importNode( ) fails at runtime.

But now appendChild( ) fails when I try to append the new tree to my
existing tree.

Any ideas, I'm new to this Xerces stuff.

Thanks in advance,
Ian.

...

if (_doc == source->_doc)
	clone = toclone.cloneNode(true);
else
	clone = _doc.importNode(toclone, true);
if (isroot)
	copyElementContent(torepl, clone, true);
else
	parent.replaceChild(clone, torepl);

...

void MYXML_DocumentImpl::copyElementContent(DOM_Node dst, DOM_Node src, bool clear)
{
	DOM_NamedNodeMap dstattr = dst.getAttributes();
	if (clear) {
		for (DOM_Node clr = dst.getFirstChild(); !clr.isNull(); clr = dst.getFirstChild())
			dst.removeChild(clr);
		size_t upto = dstattr.getLength();
		for (size_t idx = 0; idx < upto; idx++) {
			DOM_Node n = dstattr.item(0);
			dstattr.removeNamedItem(n.getNodeName());
		}
	}

	for (DOM_Node cld = src.getFirstChild(); !cld.isNull(); cld = src.getFirstChild())
		dst.appendChild(cld);
	DOM_NamedNodeMap srcattr = src.getAttributes();
	size_t upto = srcattr.getLength();
	for (size_t idx = 0; idx < upto; idx++) {
		DOM_Node n = srcattr.item(idx);
		DOM_Node c = n.cloneNode(true);
		dstattr.setNamedItem(c);
	}
}
