Hi XML-DEV I'm trying to write a Java application where as many classes as possible only use the DOM API, and only a few use specific parsers. Anyway, say I read in something like <rootElement> <link-childElement href="childElement.xml"> </rootElement> and I then go and read "childElement.xml" and want to replace the <link-childElement> in the original DOM with the <childElement> I found in that file. A fairly common problem I'm sure. Unfortunately I didn't read the method detail for w3c.org.dom.Node.replaceChild(Node, Node) before starting, and found I'm not allowed to insert nodes from one document into another. Is there a mechanism within the DOM API to do this? I would like to use DCXJP's XQL-like selectNodes() method to perform searches through a tree assembled from a number of documents. If not in the DOM API, are there any common free parser toolkits (DCXJP, XML4J) that will let you do this kind of thing?
