generating DOCTYPE element
Hello,
I'd like to add a DOCTYPE element to the XML I'm generating with xerces, but
cant seem to figure out how...
Right now I have stuff like:
Document doc = new DocumentImpl();
Element root = doc.createElement("test-root");
Element attrElem = doc.createElement("elem-with-attribs");
attrElem.setAttribute("foo", "bar");
root.appendChild( attrElem );
doc.appendChild( root );
// add doctype .. ???
// Serialize DOM and output
...
that creates xml that looks like :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<test-root><elem-with-attribs foo="bar"/></test-root>
I'd like it to have a DOCTYPE element.. :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE test-root SYSTEM "http://url.to.my/dtd">
<test-root><elem-with-attribs foo="bar"/></test-root>
Any input would be greatly appericated.
Thanks a bunch,
-Dave

Re: generating DOCTYPE element
Posted by Wendi Sisson <ws...@east.fedex.com>.
We did it this way:
DocumentType documentType = new DocumentTypeImpl(null, null,
null, dtdPath);
Document requestDOM = new DocumentImpl(documentType);
You have to set the doctype up front. You can't add/change for an
existing Document.
