RE: How to get an xml subtree using DOM?

[Rick Bullotta]

Use a serializer such as in:   public static String outerXML(Node sourceNode) {   try {     Transformer outerXmlTransformer = createTransformerFactory().newTransformer();       outerXmlTransformer.setOutputProperty("omit-xml-declaration", "yes");       DOMSource nodeSource = new DOMSource(sourceNode);       StringWriter resultStringWriter = new StringWriter();     StreamResult streamResult = new StreamResult(resultStringWriter);       outerXmlTransformer.transform(nodeSource, streamResult);       return resultStringWriter.toString();   } catch (Exception ex) {     return Constants.EMPTY_STRING;   } }   Rick Bullotta CTO Lighthammer Software (http://www.lighthammer.com)     -----Original Message----- From: Anthony Mak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2005 7:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How to get an xml subtree using DOM?   Hi all,   I am using Xerces DOM library. I want to get a subtree (everything including the tags ) from an xml document as a string ( and save this subtree into a xml/text file). Currently I am using the TreeWalkerImpl class and nextSibling() and getCurretnNode() to traverse the xml tree.   (The reason why I want to do this is I needed to get the subtree as an xml file to feel it to a Mathml to image converter program.)   Much appreciate if you can send me some codes or point me which methods I need to use.
