hi carlos,
your code looks correct, I do the deletion of Elements in a way like this and it works. i could imagine two things to try: As I can see in the Exception you got, I suppose you're using jdom-b8 (because as I think, FilterLists do not exist before b8). Perhaps it's a jdom-based problem, just try your code with jdom-b7 - it's a very stable version. The second thing you could try is to retrieve the Elements in another way than getChildren() and the Iterator() to avoid the Exception (but this is really only an assumption), just try to retrieve the Elements by XPath like this: [...] XPath xpath = new XPath("/node()[@name='reporter']"); List result = xpath.selectNodes(jdomDoc); for (int i=0;i<result.size();i++) ((Element)result.get(i)).detach(); [...] Perhaps this helps to avoid the invocation of the method throwing the exception: org.jdom.ContentList$FilterListIterator.checkConcurrentModification hope this helps, hans Carlos Barroso <est-c-barroso@ptin An: 'Hans Prüller' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ovacao.pt> Kopie: Thema: RE: Antwort: [Jaxen] Remove an element from a document... 09.04.2002 15:52 Thanks for the advice, but with this simple code: import org.jdom.Document; import org.jdom.Element; import org.jdom.JDOMException; import org.jdom.input.SAXBuilder; import org.jdom.output.XMLOutputter; import org.jaxen.jdom.XPath; import org.jaxen.XPathSyntaxException; import org.jaxen.JaxenException; import java.util.List; import java.util.Iterator; import java.io.*; public class JDOMDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { try { SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder(); Document doc = builder.build( "signon.xml" ); Element root = doc.getRootElement(); List kids = root.getChildren(); Iterator it = kids.iterator(); while(it.hasNext()) { Element elem = (Element)it.next(); if(elem.getAttributeValue("name").equals("reporter")) { elem.detach(); } } XMLOutputter out = new XMLOutputter(); out.setIndent(" "); out.setNewlines(true); out.output(doc, System.out); } catch (JDOMException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } I get the following exception: java.util.ConcurrentModification at org.jdom.ContentList$FilterListIterator.checkConcurrentModification(...) at org.jdom.ContentList$FilterListIterator.hasNext(...) at JDOMDemo.main(...) This is a simple program that reads the content of a XML file("signon.xml") and when it get's elements where the attribute "name" has the value "reporter" it "detaches" the element from the document tree. But I can't find the problem... Can you help me? Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Hans Prüller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: terça-feira, 9 de Abril de 2002 15:38 To: Carlos Barroso Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Antwort: [Jaxen] Remove an element from a document... Hi, if you're using Jaxen with JDOM you just need to call the Element.detach() method and the Element and its descendants will be removed from the tree. regards, hans |--------+------------------------------------------> | | Carlos Barroso | | | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | | Gesendet von: | | | [EMAIL PROTECTED]| | | eforge.net | | | | | | | | | 09.04.2002 15:03 | | | | |--------+------------------------------------------> > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------| | | | An: "'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | Kopie: | | Thema: [Jaxen] Remove an element from a document... | > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------| Hy guys.
