DOM3 Bootstrapping

• Still no language-independent means to create a new Document object

• Does provide an implementation-independent method for Java only:

    DOMImplementationRegistry registry = DOMImplementationRegistry.newInstance();
    DOMImplementation impl = registry.getDOMImplementation("XML");

• package org.w3c.dom.bootstrap;
  
  public class DOMImplementationRegistry { 
  
    public final static String PROPERTY =
          "org.w3c.dom.DOMImplementationSourceList";
  
    public static DOMImplementationRegistry newInstance()       
              throws ClassNotFoundException, InstantiationException, 
              IllegalAccessException;
    public DOMImplementation getDOMImplementation(String features)
              throws ClassNotFoundException,
              InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException, ClassCastException;
    public DOMImplementationList getDOMImplementationList(String features)
              throws ClassNotFoundException,
              InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException, ClassCastException;
    public void addSource(DOMImplementationSource s)
              throws ClassNotFoundException,
              InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException;
              
  }
