I usually just use a null Transformer (xalan), and transform it to a StringWriter.
give d the dom node TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance(); Transformer t = tf.newTransformer(); StringWriter sw = new StringWriter(); t.transform( new DOMSource(d), new StreamResult(sw)); return sw.toString(); -----Original Message----- From: "Dunk, Michael (Mike)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tue, June 12, 2007 11:58 am To: j-users@xerces.apache.org Subject: Sample DOMGenerate.java uses deprecated classes: Can anyone offer advice how to write out a DOM as a string? Hi, After installing Xerces 2.9.0, I was trying to base some code on the sample class "DOMGenerate.java" in C:\Xerces\xerces-2_9_0\samples\dom. See below for a full listing. However, both OutputFormat and XMLSerializer are deprecated. Can anyone offer advice how to write out a DOM as a string?
