The Apache Xerces and Xalan classes are bundled as of 1.5.  They're
simply moved to another package hierarchy in order to allow users the
ability to use newer releases from Apache should they wish.

But they're not all listed in the Javadocs, including XMLSerializer.  
It's now at com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.serialize.XMLSerializer.  
Note the "com.sun" prefix and the addition of "internal".  Poke around
in the src.zip with the JDK installation.

Daniel,
thanks for your mail. Based on the little I know your understanding is
right. I think XERCES is part of standard distribution.
This is why I'm a bit pussled that XMLSerializer is obviously not.
Meantime I found a solution by using TransformerFactory and DomSource.
But I have not finalized it yet.

The part I'struggling is the following:

I have created a Nodelist out of an XML docuemnt by Xpath which works
well.
// snipet
NodeList  Config    =  (NodeList )xpath.evaluate("/ShotMapConfigs/
Config[@Name='" + "uCFL_V1.0" + "']", DocConfigXML ,
XPathConstants.NODESET )
// end snipet

Next I tried to add a single node out of this list to a NEW dom
document.
I get an error that the nodes are not from the same document.
Basically I undestand that.
I tried to use DocumentFragment , but this does not help.
// snipet
     Document doc = impl.createDocument(null,"ShotMapDocLog", null);
      DocumentFragment fragment = doc.createDocumentFragment();
      fragment.appendChild(Config.item(0));
     Element root = doc.getDocumentElement();
// end snipet

So , the question on this is how can I let's say copy a fragment from
one dom to another ?
Any idea is welcome.
