Hi, I guess this becomes even more riskier in a scenario like this.
XML string : "<a> a_ lengthy_string</a>" -> omElem Once we parse this xml in non-coalescing mode and create an OM element(omElem) with this, - first Child : contains the first portion of 'a_lengthy_string' string - last Child : contains the rest However, as Hiranya mentioned 'omEle.getText()' will give us the correct value of the text content. Is this the acceptable behavior? regards, Kasun On Fri, Apr 30, 2010 at 9:12 PM, Andreas Veithen <[email protected]>wrote: > Axiom always creates the nodes based on the events received from the > underlying parser.
