Thanx..i was not knowing this. I was breaking brains why the newly created
nodes are not being recognized. Is this a bug ?why doesn't xerces
automatically call putIdentifier? I have a major problem. My application
needs two xml nodes to be swapped. Once i swap the node it's not being
recognized by my XQL engine. if i give a query
XQL.execute("//node[@rmrid='rmridvalue']",docNode)..it gives me null. if i
give XQL.execute("//node[@rmrid='rmridvalue']",createdNode)..it works fine..
Is this b'coz of the same behaviour as xerces?
thanks,
kusuma
