Org.w3c.dom.DOMException: WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR

Hi All,
I am getting following exception at the time of XML making by Java.
org.w3c.dom.DOMException: WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: A node is used in a different document than the one that created it.
at org.apache.xerces.dom.ParentNode.internalInsertBefore(Unknown Source)
at org.apache.xerces.dom.ParentNode.insertBefore(Unknown Source)
at org.apache.xerces.dom.NodeImpl.appendChild(Unknown Source)
Thanks,
Vishal

This code is reading data from the database and converts it to a XML document by using DOM and then saves it to a .xml file.
It compiles without any error but when I try to run it, then I get the error given in my earlier post. I hope this explains what the code is suppose to do.

In the [DOM specification|http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-DOM-Level-3-Core-20040407] a Document can only have one Element child. This is the 'document element'. You should be appending to that, not the Document.

Please use the 'code' button when posting code. There are a number of things you can do. Call DocumentBuilder#setErrorHandler() and use org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler. That should give you a line number where things are broken. Or, easier, save the file you generate and try to open it in IE or Firefox. It will point out where the XML is not well formed.

Invoking BPEL process from Java servlet with org.w3c.dom.Element as payload

Hello,
I'm trying to initiate a BPEL process from my servlet running under Tomcat. When I create the NormalizedMessage passing the XML as a String everything works fine. But if I use an org.w3c.domElement the BPEL server doesn't react at all (even on DEBUG log level there are no outputs).
This works:
NormalizedMessage message = new NormalizedMessage();
message.addPart("payload", "<foo></foo>");
This doesn't work:
org.w3c.dom.Element elem;
oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLDocument xmlDocument;
NormalizedMessage message = new NormalizedMessage();
Element elem = xmlDocument.createElement("foo");
message.addPart("payload", elem);
Is there a known problem with payloads using Element or did I get something completely wrong? Thanks in advance,
Hans.

Finding import org.w3c.dom.ls.DOMOutput in rt.jar

I'm taking over some code which uses
import org.apache.xerces.dom.DOMOutputImpl;
import org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser;
import org.apache.xml.serialize.DOMSerializerImpl;
import org.w3c.dom.ls.DOMOutput;
DOMOutput dOut = new DOMOutputImpl();
private DOMSerializerImpl writer = new DOMSerializerImpl();That interace doesnt' appear to exist in 1.5.0_02, nor in 1.4.2_03. Does anyone know which version of the JDK/JRE included this?
Thanks,
Jeff

I did a search on Sun site, nothing came back.
It is on http://xml.apache.org/xerces2-j though.
You might need to go there and download it. or make sure your
classpath includes the right jar file.

Document in org.w3c.dom.*??

Is Document in org.w3c.dom.* a file?what is its extension?
How can i write a file with it?

org.w3c.dom.Document is a class that represents an XML document.
It does not represent an XML stream as mlk says.
It doesn't have anything to do with files. You can use an XML parser to build up a Document in memory from an XML file or any other data source that produces XML. Class org.w3c.dom.Document does not have any methods by itself that you can use to write to an XML file.
XML files usually have the extension ".xml", but they can also have other extensions.
See this: Working with XML: The Java/XML Tutorial

Org.w3c.dom.Document to/from String ?

I need to be able to parse (once) an XML string, and then pass the parsed object around to/from different objects.
I tried to use org.w3c.dom.Document,
generated by javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder .
HOWEVER - I don't see any way to parse an xml String!
The doc-builder parse() method accepts either a file/url, or an InputStream.
When I tried to use the StringBufferInputStream I found-out it is deprecated, and that I should use StringReader.
BUT I cannot parse using StringReader ! (the method parse() doesn't work with it)
Is there anyway to parse a String to create a Document ?
========================================================
And that's only HALF my problem:
I did parse an input file into a Document, to experiment a little.
I then wanted to convert it to an XML String - but couldn't.
How do I get the xml String from a Document ?
I cannot: How do I save it to a file ?
I must say that under .NET both tasks are TRIVIAL:
XmlDocument.LoadXML()
XmlDocument.OuterXml
Thanks
Meir

The doc-builder parse() method accepts either a file/url, or an InputStream.This isn't true. Look it up again. There are overridden versions of parse() that use File, InputSource, InputStream, or String. The String one isn't what you want, because the String it takes is a URL pointing to the XML and not the XML itself. The File one doesn't work for you because you don't have a file, and you've already said why the InputStream one doesn't work for you.
So that leaves the version that takes an InputSource. So, what is an InputSource anyway? You could look it up just by clicking on the link in the API docs...

Java.lang.ClassCastException: oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLText cannot be cast to org.w3c.dom.Element

Hello
I am getting java.lang.ClassCastException: oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLText cannot be cast to org.w3c.dom.Element error. This code is in java which is present in java embedding.
The SOA is parsing the xml in java code using oracle.xml.parser.v2 . This wont be a problem if the SOA uses default w3c DOM parser. How do i force SOA to use w3c DOM parser.
Is there any thing i can do with class loading?
Kindly help.
Regards
Sharat

Can you paste your java code here ? I assume, you must have tried type-casting.

Set Name of org.w3c.dom.Node (= chang the TagNam)

Hi all,
How I can set name of my object org.w3c.dom.Node.
In fact, this is an Element and I want to chang the tag <label> to <LABEL> befort write out DOM to XML File
thanks a lot
dseaa

org.w3c.dom.Element interface does not have a setTagName() method.
Implement interface org/w3c/dom/contentModel/CMElementDeclaration which has a setTagName() method.

Problem of using "org.w3c.dom.Node" class

I try to use removeChild(child) method of "org.w3c.dom.Node" object. it don't work.
is it better to do child=null;

child=null does nothing to the dom object
removeChild works fine. You're just confused.
You would need more info to have any chance of fixing the problem.

Cost of creating org.w3c.dom.Node

I am trying to create an xml of cached data at run time. I need to know if this would increase the response time considerably ..?
Is there any documents which talk about the cost of creating nodes(e.g.within loops) ..?
public Node createnode(Document d, String node_name, int node_value) {
org.w3c.dom.Node temp_element_node, temp_text_node;
temp_element_node = d.createElement(node_name);
temp_text_node = d.createTextNode(node_name);
temp_text_node.setNodeValue(node_value + "");
temp_element_node.appendChild(temp_text_node);
return temp_element_node;
Has anybody implimented a pool of nodes(like pool of database connections). Any information is appreciated!

It would certainly depend somewhat on which parser you were using, but i can't imagine it would be any more costly than any other type of object.

NoSuchMethodError with org.w3c.dom.Node.getTextNode()

Hi,
I got a trouble with this method. I developped my app with Eclipse and jdk 1.5.
I used the endrosed mechanism for updating xalan and xerces in my jre.
Everything works fine on my computer, but as I want to run my app on an other machine, I got this error.
I put a copy of my jre on the other machine and I launch the app from this jre. It seems the endorsed jars are taken in account, but it still doesn't work.
Thanks for your help.

I found ths solution.
In my jre was missing the endorsed Dom.jar, found at jaxp.dev.java.net. to overwrite org.w3c.dom standard classes.

Adding org.w3c.dom.Node

Hi,
can someone please tell me if it is posible do read a org.w3c.dom.Node from one XML file, and than add it to another? Or is there a way to copy one org.w3c.dom.Node to another XML?
Thanx,
Alan.
