[Exist-open] Can't serialize org.exist.dom impl.

[<bma...@br...>]

I am working on integrating eXist into our project
(sourceforge.net/projects/bie). I am having difficulty serializing
org.exist.dom objects using org.apache.xml.serialize.XMLSerializer
(xerces) and javax.xml.Transform (xalan). The Xalan transformer method
throws exceptions or, if passed the Document node only serializes the
XML processing instruction and version/encoding attribute.
XMLSerializer behaves strangely, all text nodes in the document are
concatenated as a child of the first Element, all text nodes
but the first one are concatenated as a child of the next Element in
the heirarchy, all text nodes but the first two appear in the next
element, and so forth. (see second half of testOutput.txt). I am
currently testing with Xerces version 2.6.0. I have attached a high
level test, the test XML, and test output.

If anyone knows an alternate method of
serializing org.exist.dom impl objects, it would be greatly
appreciated! Currently many of our plugins and APIs are dependent on
the DOM api.

Thanks,
