DOM in XML/Ada

DOM in XML/Ada

[Rodrigo García]

I wanted to create and populate an XML document using the DOM interface 
of XML/Ada. Does anybody know how to write an xml file with XML/Ada? I 
am afraid there only exist the procedures to print the document in the 
screen...

OK, I can redirect output, but that's a bit... chapuza  ;^)

 From the DOM specification 
(http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-DOM-Level-2-Core-20001113/core.html#ID-1590626201)

"The DOM Core API also allows creation and population of a Document 
object using only DOM API calls; loading a Document and saving it 
persistently is left to the product that implements the DOM API."

I thikn you're going to have to write it yourself. I just checked the 
implementation and the given implementation of print looks fairly 
straight forward but I haven't studied it enough to know whether it 
deals with utf properly.  A quick inspection suggests no.

If you do implement a writer, please contribute it to the interface.  It 
would be a welcome addition.  Failing that I should be getting around to 
doing some XML processing in Ada with DOM for a project in about two 
months, so you could wait until then ;)

Don't hold your breath on submitted patches making it to the Libre site.
I submitted fixes to a couple of significant bugs last april, and they still
haven't shown up on the site.

The last modified date on the web page is Dec 3, 2001

I also submitted a few minor changes to make XML/Ada non-GNAT specific (I'm
using it with ObjectAda), they haven't made it either.

It's free software right?  So let's have a version elsewhere until such 
times as Libre is updated.  I don't mind hosting a version with you're 
patches on  my site.  It could take a while for me to put it up, but I 
have a little time this weekend so maybe not.

It would probably be a good idea to send a tickler to the XML/Ada site host
before setting up another site (a courtesy).

A tickler?  Do you mean a message saying there's going to be another 
site which holds revisions of XML/Ada because of concerns relating to 
updates to the package?
