Class DOMBuilder

  • public class DOMBuilder
extends Object
    Builds a JDOM Document from a pre-existing DOM org.w3c.dom.Document.

    If you are building a document that has Namespace declarations, you should ensure that the Namespaces are correctly recorded in the DOM document before building the JDOM document from the DOM. By default, the native Java DOMBuilderFactory is configured to ignore Namespaces, and thus they are 'lost' in the DOM tree. JDOM expects Namespace-aware documents, so you should ensure that you change the default settings on the DOMBuilderFactory before parsing the DOM document. For example: 

         DocumentBuilderFactory domfactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
     domfactory.setNamespaceAware(true);
     DocumentBuilder dombuilder = domfac.newDocumentBuilder();
     org.w3c.dom.Document doc = dombuilder.parse(....);
