Hi Jeff,
I was able to get the DOCTYPE by doing something like the following (notice
that it is my doctype instance being passed into createDocument():
DOM_DOMImplementation impl;
DOM_Document doc;
DOM_DocumentType doctype;
//create the document type
doctype = impl.createDocumentType(DOMString("RootElementName"),
NULL,
DOMString("DTDFile.dtd"));
//create the document
doc = impl.createDocument(
0,
"RootElementName",
doctype);
As for the XML declaration, I have been able to use the DOMPrint example and
send in my "doc" variable (see above) and it will print out the xml
declaration. I'm not sure that is really what you are wanting to do though.
Are you wanting to print it out or have it as part of your dom tree in
memory?
Hope that helps

Subject: how to create processing node and dtd reference?
Hi,
I'm new to xml and xerces. I am trying to generate an xml file from a
database and have been able to generate well-formed xml using xerces, but
the file does not have a DOCTYPE declaration nor the <?xml?> processing
instruction.
I've managed to get a DOCTYPE declaration generated, but it's ugly:
DOM_DOMImplementation impl;
DOM_Document xmlDoc_dummy = impl.createDocument(
0, // root element namespace URI.
"dummy", // root element name
DOM_DocumentType()); // document type object (DTD).
DOM_DocumentType dtd;
dtd = xmlDoc_dummy.createDocumentType("mynode SYSTEM \"my.dtd\"");
DOM_Document xmlDoc = impl.createDocument(
0, // root element namespace URI.
"mynode", // root element name
dtd); // document type object (DTD).
But when I use either
createXMLDecl("1.0", "UTF-16", "no");
or
createProcessingInstruction("xml", "version='1.0' encoding='UTF-16'
standalone='no'")
neither appear in the tree, unless I either appendChild() (it is output at
the end of the document) or insertBefore(, xmlDoc.getDocumentElement() (the
processing instruction is now before the data, but after the dtd!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
BTW: it was nearly impossible doing this using MSXML too. But I did find a
way.
