how to convert org.w3c.dom.Document to org.jdom.Document

Question

I need to convert a org.w3c.dom.Document to org.jdom.Document

I have tried the following following..

InputStream inputStream =  new ByteArrayInputStream(str.getBytes());

Tidy tidy = new Tidy();
tidy.setMakeClean(false);
tidy.setShowWarnings(true); //tidy.setShowWarnings(false);
tidy.setTidyMark(false);
tidy.setNumEntities(true);
tidy.setQuoteAmpersand(true);
tidy.setQuoteMarks(true);
tidy.setQuoteNbsp(false);
tidy.setHideEndTags(false);
tidy.setDropEmptyParas(false);

Document tidyDOM =tidy.parseDOM(inputStream, null);
DOMBuilder domBuilder = new DOMBuilder();
org.jdom.Document jdomDoc = domBuilder.build(tidyDOM);

domBuilder.build(tidyDOM) throws the following exception:

org.jdom.IllegalNameException: The name "html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"" is not legal for JDOM/XML DocTypes: XML names cannot contain the character " ".

Add these two settings and everything should work.

tidy.setXHTML(true);
tidy.setDocType("omit");

The first setting tells jTidy to output an XHTML file. An XHTML file is valid XML.

The second tab tells tidy not to output a DOCTYPE line into the code. For some reason JDom does not seem to recognize legitimate html/xhtml doctypes.

In fairness, this is not a JDOM problem. I think you will find that the DOM Document 'feeding' JDOM is inaccurate... you cannot have an element called: "html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"" – rolfl May 03 '12 at 02:32

It looks to me as if JTidy is creating a malformed DocType node. I suggest using a different HTML parser.

I recommend The Validator.nu HTML Parser but there are plenty of others.
