Subject: Re: [xsl] Generating XML fragment to DOM node using XSL From: Tim Meals <tim@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2003 11:42:57 -0800 |
Steve -- Xalan's right. An XML document may have only one root node. If I'm dealing with the DOM, I either keep a handle to the root node, or retrieve it from the document, and append to it. Not having Javadocs open, here's what it would look like off the top of my head: // Get the root node, assuming "doc" is a Document Node root = doc.getDocumentElement(); root.append( new Element( "RootsChild" ) ); Of course, you can add Text nodes, attributes, etc. in here too.
