Writing a DOMTree back to a file

[Arengin]

HI everyone,

I am new with Xerces-C but I managed to get a DOMTree runing and to extracte the data to the screen. However I need to write the Tree back to a file.... and this is where I am stuck.

            char* message = XMLString::transcode(toCatch.getMessage());
            cout << " failed \n";

            oParser.parse("test2.xml");
            cout << " ok \n";
        }

            return -1;
        }
 
        //Get the first Element in the XML file
        DOM_Document oDoc=oParser.getDocument();
 
        //access the tree
        if(oDoc!=0){
            DOM_Element oRoot=oDoc.getDocumentElement();
 
            if(oRoot!=0){
                DOM_Node oNode=oRoot.getFirstChild();
 
                while(oNode!=0){
                    if(oNode.getNodeType()==DOM_Node::ELEMENT_NODE){
                        DOM_Element oNodeEle=(DOM_Element&)oNode;

        };
 
        cout << "Programm finished" << endl;
 
        return 0;
 
    }
 

This is my code till now I now want to add a routine that writes the whole tree back to a file.... however I don't know where to start with that and how. I already checked the Xerces sight and other helps but I can't get anywhere somehow.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to TheScripts TSDN...

I posted a link to your question in the C/C++ forum too.

Have you read this about the DOMWriter?

Yes sadly I have to admit that I did but for some reason I can't adated it or get it to work

Perhaps you should stop using the depricated classes, like DOMParser and use the latest classes, like XercesDOMParser or DOMBuilder. These may work better with DOMWriter since they are part of the same API release level.
