I don't think so -- I'd imagine that that would have to be an option to the DOM builder, which is left unspecified. I could imagine something like this: public class DOMFactory { public final static int NONE = 0; // Optional node types public final static int COMMENTS = 1; public final static int ENTITYREFS = 2; public final static int CDATA = 3; public final static int ALL = COMMENTS | ENTITYREFS | CDATA; public Document createDocument (int flags) throws DOMFactoryException, IOException; // etc. } and then Document doc = factory.createDocument(DOMFactory.NONE); I can also imagine many DOM builders that always leave these nodes types out, since that information is not needed for most XML applications (authoring and repository tools excepted).
