Hey guys,

 

This is driving me nuts. 

I’m trying to write a method which will update the an element’s text. 

However, if the element doesn’t yet exist, I want to create it.  How are you meant to do this??!

 

      private static void updateNode(Document d, String elementName, String text) {                  

            Map map = new HashMap();

            map.put("xdp", "http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/");

            map.put("xfa", "http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/");

                 

            final String PARENT_NODE = "/xdp:xdp/xfa:datasets/xfa:data/form1";

            String fullyQualified = PARENT_NODE + "/" + elementName;

            XPath xPath = DocumentHelper.createXPath(fullyQualified);

            xPath.setNamespaceURIs(map);

                 

            Node dataNode = xPath.selectSingleNode(d);

            if (dataNode == null) {            

// Find the parent node to which we will add the new element…

                  xPath = DocumentHelper.createXPath(PARENT_NODE);

                  xPath.setNamespaceURIs(map);

 

                  Node parentNode = xPath.selectSingleNode(d);

                  // TODO: Add new element elementName below parentNode...

            }          

            dataNode.setText(text);

      }

 

It doesn’t seem possible with the Node interface which is returned.  Help!

 

Many thanks,

 

David.
