Just two quick questions

[Horny Porno-thologist]

Dear everyone,
I managed to get most of my code (nesting documents etc.) worked out,
but there are a few niggles.

The first one is as follows:

My first document is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes "?>
<WfMessage>
<ATO_ATO>
<ATO_FileLoaded IntoSystem>No</ATO_FileLoadedI ntoSystem>
<ATO_RawXML>X ML DATA HERE</ATO_RawXML>
</ATO_ATO>
</ProcInstInputDa ta>
</ProcessTemplate Execute>
</WfMessage>

What I want to do is to insert my second XML file between the tags so that
it reads:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes "?>
<WfMessage>
<ATO_ATO>
<ATO_FileLoaded IntoSystem>No</ATO_FileLoadedI ntoSystem>
<ATO_RawXML>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes "?>
(XML data in here...snipped for brevity)
</ATO_RawXML>
</ATO_ATO>
</ProcInstInputDa ta>
</ProcessTemplate Execute>
</WfMessage>

(By the way, I do need the second root in the nested document!)
I've come up with some code that comes up with the following XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes "?>
<WfMessage>
<ATO_ATO>
<ATO_FileLoaded IntoSystem>No</ATO_FileLoadedI ntoSystem>
(data in here...snipped for brevity) // TAGS AND ROOT MISSING !!!
</ATO_ATO>
</ProcInstInputDa ta>
</ProcessTemplate Execute>
</WfMessage>

Which is nearly what I need when I use the following code:

ATO_document = builder.parse( "D:\\ATO.xm l" );
XML_document = builder.parse( "D:\\XML.xm l" );
NodeList replacedNodeLis t = XML_document.ge tElementsByTagN ame("ATO_RawXML ");
Node foundnode = replacedNodeLis t.item(0);
if ( foundnode != null )
{
Node modfiedReplaced Document = replaceNode(XML _document, ATO_document,
foundnode);}
else
{
// error message here.
}
}
and replaceNode is defined as follows:

public static Node replaceNode(Doc ument replacedDocumen t, Document
replacingDocume nt, Node replacedNode)
{
//Create a documentFragmen t of the replacingDocume nt

DocumentFragmen t docFrag = replacingDocume nt.createDocume ntFragment();
Element rootElement = replacingDocume nt.getDocumentE lement();
docFrag.appendC hild(rootElemen t);

//Import docFrag under the ownership of replacedDocumen t

Node replacingNode =
((replacedDocum ent).importNode (docFrag, true));

//In order to replace the node need to retrieve replacedNode's parent

Node replaceNodePare nt = replacedNode.ge tParentNode();
replaceNodePare nt.replaceChild (replacingNode, replacedNode);
return replacedDocumen t;
}

I've tried using insertBefore functions in the replaced document to
artificially recreate the <ATO_RawXML> tags, but the code
grumbles that the parent element is missing. I'm sure a solution is very
simple
but I am losing my hair over this. Can anyone suggest anything (other than
a lotion to keep my hair in) ?

Best wishes

You can't do this. An xml declaration may only occur at the start of
a document. There is no way to have it embedded inside another
document.

Thanks Richard,

Now all I have to do is solve the second problem - the tag being
replaced. I can see why it is doing this, but I don't know how
to circumvent the problem, unless it requires regenerating the
"missing" tag.... can anyone suggest a very easy way of doing this?

Best wishes
