Modifying DOM_Node

Hi,

I have the following XML structure ...

<Friends>
    <Friend name="Paul">
        <Hobby type="sport"/>
        <Hobby type="reading"/>
            <GirlFriend name="Pauline">
                <Hobby type="sport"/>
                <Hobby type="reading"/>
            </GirlFriend>
            <GirlFriend name="Paula">
                <Hobby type="sport"/>
                <Hobby type="reading"/>
            </GirlFriend>
     </Friend>
    <Friend name="John">
        <Hobby type="sport"/>
        <Hobby type="reading"/>
    </Friend>
</Friends>

I would like to know how to use Xerces XML DOM API to modify intermediate
DOM_Node (e.g "Pauline's hobby") efficiently ? Initially I attemptted to
remove it and then add it (modify version) again ....and when I finally
write to the file, the modified DOM_Node get added at the bottom ....

Please advice.

Thank you.
Paul

No need to remove the node. Just find it, and modify it. appendChild()
does just that appends a node to the end of the child list. If you
want to position a node at a specific point you need to use
insertBefore().

jas.

Look at the methods setAttribute and removeAttribute in DOM_Element and/or
methods appendChild, removeChild and replaceChild in DOM_Node.
They should do the trick for you.

Hi,

i would like to know, _how_ do you save the xml file with xerces.
I try it with the DOMSerializer, but VisualStudio fails to compile the
constructor in the .hpp file:
DOMSerializer (const std::string& encoding << defaultEncoding_);

The errors reported are:
C2629,C2238,C2629,C2238

Please help, so i can save my XML Files, thanks...

Regards,
Sascha Presnac
