How to Insert Values into a XML doc?

Have you read http://www.eksperten.dk/artikler/245 ?

Not quite as easy as what you outline but possible.

The only easier way would be to do a XPATH selectNode and append to that.

Hello Arne!

Thanks for your reply!

I found this which did it quite easy!
            Element type = new Element("type");
            type.addContent("CTTP");
            Element version = new Element("version");
            version.addContent("1.0");
            Element command = new Element("command");
            command.addContent("MESS");

            Element protocol = new Element("protocol");
            protocol.addContent(type);
            protocol.addContent(version);
            protocol.addContent(command);

Now i just need to figure out how to set a DTD path like:
<!DOCTYPE message PUBLIC "foo" "http:/...

Best regards
Fredrik

doc.setDocType(new DocType(elm, pubid, id));

would be my guess

Yes!

It works perfect!

May I ask for a little "svar"?

Best regards mate!

If I should illustarte the XPath technique:

package april;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.StringReader;

import org.jdom.Document;
import org.jdom.Element;
import org.jdom.JDOMException;
import org.jdom.input.SAXBuilder;
import org.jdom.output.Format;
import org.jdom.output.XMLOutputter;
import org.jdom.xpath.XPath;

public class JDomXPath {
    private static final String template = "<protocol>" +
                                          "<type></type>" +
                                          "<version></version>" +
                                          "<commands></commands>" +
                                          "</protocol>";
    public static void fillout(Document doc, String tag, String value) throws JDOMException {
        Element elm = (Element) XPath.selectSingleNode(doc, "protocol/" + tag);
        elm.setText(value);
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) throws JDOMException, IOException {
        SAXBuilder b = new SAXBuilder();
        Document doc = b.build(new StringReader(template));
        fillout(doc, "type", "Dette er en type");
        fillout(doc, "version", "Dette er en version");
        fillout(doc, "commands", "Dette er en commands");
        XMLOutputter fmt = new XMLOutputter(Format.getPrettyFormat());
        System.out.println(fmt.outputString(doc));
    }
}

output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<protocol>
  <type>Dette er en type</type>
  <version>Dette er en version</version>
  <commands>Dette er en commands</commands>
</protocol>

Thank you a lot!

That was a great explanation mate!

Best regards
Fredrik
