get a XalanDocument

[henribastien]

Hi, I'm trying to implement an extension function for Xalan-C that
returns a Nodeset. I've figured out most of the stuff I need to do.

I think I need to use the function createElement from a XalanDocument.
My problem is I don't know how to get hold of a XalanDocument.

I tried using getOwnerDocument but it returns null. I though About
using DOMImplementation::getImplentation()->createDocument() from
xerces and to somehow wrap this in a Xalan class but it does not seems
right.

Someone know how get hold of a XalanDocument in the context of an
Extension function?

Note that the W3C DOM's getOwnerDocument operation returns null if the
node is a Document node. (Yes, I objected at the time.) Check the
nodetype first, or if this returns null, and if it tells you that you
already have a Document node use it as it stands...

Ahh. Thanks for your help. It got me really excited for a moment.
Though once I tried this and tried to call createElement on this
wonderful document I get this error "NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR". Well, seems
like I the version I have does not support creation of element... Well,
at least I tried..
