转换和附加DOM节点

Question

我正在使用一个函数，它采用两个dom元素 - 来自不同文档的父和子。我导入子元素，转换它，然后将其追加到父元素。但是，以下代码中的最后一行正在抛出DOM异常：org.w3c.dom.domexception：worw_document_err：一个节点在不同的文档中使用，而不是创建它的文件。

请参阅下面的代码：

    public void attachNodeToParent (Element parent, Element child) throws Exception {
        Document parent_doc = parent.getOwnerDocument();
        child = (Element)parent_doc.importNode(child, true);
// Imported child Element is shown below:
//      <node id="101">
//        <node id="102">
//          <node id="103" />
//        </node>
//        <node id="104">
//          <node id="103" />
//        </node>
//      </node>

        // convert child Element into String
        Source source = new DOMSource(child);
        StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter();
        Result result = new StreamResult(stringWriter);
        TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
        Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer();
        transformer.transform(source, result);
        String childXml = stringWriter.getBuffer().toString();


        // Recursively modify the id attributes of every node
        DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
        Document doc = db.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(childXml)));
        XPathFactory xpathFactory = XPathFactory.newInstance();
        XPath xpath = xpathFactory.newXPath();
        NodeList nodes = (NodeList) xpath.compile("//node[@id]").evaluate(doc, XPathConstants.NODESET);
        for (int nodeNumber = 0; nodeNumber < nodes.getLength(); ++nodeNumber) {
            final Element node = (Element) nodes.item(nodeNumber);
            final String nodeId = node.getAttribute("id");
            final String newNodeId = "prefix/" + nodeId;
            node.getAttributeNode("id").setValue(newNodeId);
        }


        final StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
        transformer.transform(source, new StreamResult(writer));
        writer.flush();
        writer.close();
        String transformedChildXml = writer.toString();

        // Prase transformedChildXml String into XML
        dbf.setNamespaceAware(true);
        DocumentBuilder builder = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
        Document document = builder.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(transformedChildXml)));
        document.setXmlStandalone(false);
        child = document.getDocumentElement();

        // child Element is now transformed to:
//        <node id="prefix/101">
//          <node id="prefix/102">
//            <node id="prefix/103" />
//          </node>
//          <node id="prefix/104">
//            <node id="prefix/103" />
//          </node>
//        </node>

        // append transformed child Element to parent Element
        // Throws o rg.w3c.dom.DOMException: WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: 
        // A node is used in a different document than the one that created it.
        parent.appendChild(child); 
    }

Answer 1

The short answer is that the child element on the penultimate line belongs to the document created by the line

Document document = builder.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(transformedChildXml)));

and not the owner document of the parent. So you would have to use importNode again to transfer it to your target document.

But don't do that. Your code has two serialize to String and parse back to Document cycles, which is very inefficient and neither should be necessary. Once you've called importNode at the start, simply fix up the ids in place, and append the child to the parent at the end.
