DBXML and the Xerces DOM

[nikki]

I downloaded Berkeley DB XML and put together a test script to load a
large 250mb XML file into the database. Storage and retrieval works
great, but I need DOM access to the file without loading it all into a
string and re-parsing it. In the c++ api (they used swig to expose c+
+ to python) it says there is a XmlDocument::getContentAsDOM() method,
but when I try to access it via python I just get an attribute error.
I looked in the source and the method isn't mapped at all! Has anyone
had this work, ever?


from dbxml import *

mgr = XmlManager()
container = mgr.openContainer("test.dbxml")
document = container.getDocument('test1')
dom = document.getContentAsDOM()


Traceback (most recent call last):
