Sorry, do not append the new node as a child of the root node, append it as a sibling (document.appendChild(newNode) instead of docElement.appendChild(newNode)).
-----Original Message----- From: Swanson, Brion [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2002 10:20 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: Problem with the method renameNode again It has been my understanding that one cannot change the name of the root/document node since a node's name is critically important to the structure of a node/DOM tree. One suggestion would be to create a new node with the name you desire, append the new node as a child of the root node, move all the subelements of the former root node to the new node, then delete the former root node from the DOM.

((org.apache.xerces.dom.DocumentImpl)doc).renameNode(tree, null, tagName); change to ((org.apache.xerces.dom.DocumentImpl)doc).renameNode(tree, "", tagName); But, the expected result of having the root node(hello) name change does not happen. The child node(bye) name does change though ???

((org.apache.xerces.dom.DocumentImpl)doc).renameNode(tree, null, tagName); System.out.println(" #### after renameNode"); change this to be like tree = ((org.apache.xerces.dom.DocumentImpl)doc).renameNode(tree, null, tagName); System.out.println(" #### after renameNode"); I havent tried this out, just a thought. Sire Chembiparambil Sauquet Dominique <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 09/30/2002 09:51:37 AM Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: Problem with the method renameNode again Hello I resend a mail that I previously sent on last friday since I am puzzled by the very few mails we have from this mailing list that is generally so active. The problem is : I tried to use the method renameNode of the class org.apache.xerces.dom.DocumentImpl The node is effectively renamed but I generate an exception : NullPointerException. Please can you explain me what happens ? is it a misuse ? can I do otherwise ? I attach a test file. You can test it by launching java TestClass <<TestClass.class>> <<TestClass.java>> ps : I tried another method much more complex where a replaceChild is used but does not work when I want to change the tag name of the root !!
