Convert org.w3c.dom.Node into Document
domdocument, java, xmlnode
Solution
The code did not work for me - but with some changes from this related question I could get it to work as follows:
Node node = someChildNodeFromDifferentDocument;
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document newDocument = builder.newDocument();
Node importedNode = newDocument.importNode(node, true);
newDocument.appendChild(importedNode);
Problem
I have a `Node` from one `Document`. I want to take that `Node` and turn it into the root node of a new `Document`. Only way I can think of is the following: ``` Node node = someChildNodeFromDifferentDocument; DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(); factory.setNamespaceAware(true); DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder(); Document newDocument = builder.newDocument(); newDocument.importNode(node); newDocument.appendChild(node); ``` This works, but I feel it is rather annoyingly verbose. Is there a less verbose/more direct way I'm not seeing, or do I just have to do it this way?
