copy xml node from one XmlHolder to another

 

How do I work with setNodeValue()?

 

I've tried the following without success(no replacement takes place):

 

request.setNodeValue("/", "none" )

And I need to end up with something like this, where I copy a signature tag from one holder to the other:

 


request.setNodeValue("signature xpath", soapExpandedMessageXMLHolder.getNodeValue("signature xpath"))

    Hi Thestraw,

     

    As far as I remember, the setNodeValue method has the following parameters:

    1. the XPath expression to the target node
    2. the new value
    setNodeValue (<Your_XPath>,<Your_Value>)

    I want to copy a tag called "signature" from one XmlHolder object to another.

    Since I couldn't make it to work, I've tried something basic like:

     

    request.setNodeValue("/", "none" )

     

    It didn't update the root node with anything.

      Sorry, that did not help. May be some more context is needed to understand.
