Hi Josema,
I don't know if you're still struggling with the query results to strip
away the xml declaration and the added attributes, but this may help you:
public Document combineXPathResults(String resultRootElement,
ResourceSet result)
throws XMLDBException
{
// Create a new Document and a root element that will have as children
// all the results
Document resultDoc = new DocumentImpl();
Element root = resultDoc.createElement(resultRootElement);
resultDoc.appendChild(root);
// Iterate the xpath results and add each of them to the main Document
ResourceIterator iterator = result.getIterator();
while(iterator.hasMoreResources()) {
Resource r = iterator.nextResource();
Element resElement = ((Document)
((XMLResource)r).getContentAsDOM()).getDocumentElement();
// Remove unwanted attributes
resElement.removeAttribute("src:col");
resElement.removeAttribute("src:key");
resElement.removeAttribute("xmlns:src");
// Add this result to the root element
Element importedElement = (Element)resultDoc.importNode(resElement,
true);
root.appendChild(importedElement);
}
return resultDoc;
}
Once you have the "global" result Document object you can serialize it
(using the XMSerialize class), or apply an xslt to it (using Xalan), or
anything you need to.
Cheers,
Andrea
