Subject: Method.TEXT
Hello.
Simple problem: How do I make a String from Document? (I'm using the
xalan-j_2_5_1 distribution)
My suggestion:
----------
Serializer ser = null;
ByteArrayOutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
WriterToUTF8Buffered writer = null;
DOMSerializer domser = null;
Properties props = null;
try{
writer = new WriterToUTF8Buffered(os);
props =
OutputPropertiesFactory.getDefaultMethodProperties(Method.TEXT);
ser = SerializerFactory.getSerializer(props);
ser.setWriter(writer);
domser = (DOMSerializer) ser.asDOMSerializer();
domser.serialize(doc);
writer.close();
return os.toString();
}catch(...
-----------
This works if I use Method.XML - but this adds the standard XML
starttagline
in my document (and I don't want that), that's why I use Method.TEXT.
Problem is: Nothing is written, only empty String with the right
size...There is something here I have missed, isn't it?
Johannes
