How get InputSource or InputStream from org.w3c.dom.Document?

[Robert Paris]

I have an org.w3c.dom.Document object that was altered in a method. Now I want to pass it to another method that can only take an InputSource or InputStream. Does anyone know how I can do this?

import javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory;
Document doc = ... // your existing DOM document
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(doc);
StringWriter xmlAsWriter = new StringWriter();
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(xmlAsWriter);
TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer().transform(source, result);
StringReader xmlReader = new StringReader(xmlAsWriter.toString());
InputSource viola = new InputSource(xmlReader);

thanks!

you're welcome

For the InputStream you can use:

DOMSource source = new DOMSource(doc);
StringWriter xmlAsWriter = new StringWriter();

StreamResult result = new StreamResult(xmlAsWriter);

TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer().transform(source, result);

// write changes
ByteArrayInputStream inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(xmlAsWriter.toString().getBytes("UTF-8"));
