Merge two XML files using DOM

[chaitu sravs]

Hi,

I Have a problem in adding 2 XML files using DOM.

I have 2 XML files with content.
One file contains root element and other file does not contain root element.

I have converted first file to DOM object, and i want to append second file content to this document.
So, i have parsed second file to DOM. While parsing 2nd file, it throws an exception that "The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed."


How can i rectify this problem?

If anybody knows, please let me know.

Thanks.

other file does not contain root element.

Well obviously, without a root element it is not an XML document and you cant parse it into a DOM.

SO - why not just treat this as a text file merging problem? How tricky is it to find the point at which the new text should be inserted?

IF you absolutely have to have the second as a DOM, add Strings for the root element opening and closing tags to the existing text.
