Use of Xerces DOM into Xalan

[Shirish Kulkarni <sh...@yahoo.com>]

Hi, 

I am trying to use both Xerces and Xalan together in
my application. Is it possible to us the DOM tree and
hence APIs in Xalan & Xerces interchangably ? How ? 

Thanks, 
Shirish

Shirish,

That's a big question.  Lots of discussion on the mailing list archives, 
but if your aim is to dynamically build and then later modify a DOM 
tree, then you can work with Xerces and when you come to a point where 
you want to perform some form of Xalan based activity (transform or 
XPath etc.) you can wrap the Xerces DOM in the Xalan wrapper classes.

You can also output the results of a transform to a Xerces tree.

Have a look at :

http://xml.apache.org/xalan-c/usagepatterns.html#xercesdomwrapperparsedsource

for a starting point on wrapping Xerces DOM, and the 
TransformToXercesDOM sample code for outputting a transform to Xerces DOM.

Cheers,
	Berin
