using Xalan Xpath and Xerces::DOMDocument

[mistral <t_...@yahoo.com>]

Hi All,

I’m trying to use “Xalan-C 1.10 “ with app that is using Xerces deprecated
API. (through Xerces 2.7.0).
My targets are to use the xpath API + manipulate node location (importNode)
I explored several options… 

1. work only with xalan: use XalanDocument and XPathEvaluator to evaluate
node(s), but when I tried to use the importNode()/getParentNode () methods,
I received exception, it seem the method is NOT implemented in the xalan. 

2. use Xerces DOMDocument methods to manipulate nodes, but I couldn’t figure
the right code for using Xerces::DOMDocument in Xalan should I use
XalanTransformer:: transform (I don’t own XSL file)
2.1 can I use the deprecated API with xalan?

I really appreciate if u can share yours knowledge …code example are welcome

Thank
Tamar

You should be aware that the deprecated DOM will be gone in the next 
version of Xerces-C, and support for it will also disappear in Xalan-C.

Xalan-C's implementation is read-only, so you cannot call any mutating 
functions.

Yes, but I urge you to change your application to use the new Xerces-C DOM. 
  You should use DOMDocument instead of DOM_Document.  If you search the 
archives, you'll find lots of responses to the question of how to use the 
Xerces-C DOM with Xalan-C.
