The problem is getting access to the parent. If you look at the XML below,
there are many <SERVICE> elements with only one with a <WIPKEYS>. How do I get
access to the <SERVICE> or SERVICEDocument to replace the specific (and only)
<WIPKEYS>.
Can I see some code? What you guys are describing sounds like what I've tried
that is not working.
XMLINIDocument config =
XMLINIDocument.Factory.parse(editor.getText(), validateOptions);
String wipQueryExpression = "declare namespace
xq='http://skywire.com/ccm/global';" +
"$this/xq:XMLINI/xq:CONFIG/xq:SERVICES/xq:SERVICE/xq:WIPKEYS";
// THIS GIVE ME THE CORRECT DATA TO REPLACE BUT I GUESS
THIS IS A COPY????
WIPKEYSDocument.WIPKEYS[] wipkeys =
((WIPKEYSDocument[].WIPKEYS) config.selectPath(wipQueryExpression));
// LOAD NEW DATA INTO AN XML BEAN OBJECT
WIPKEYSDocument keys =
WIPKEYSDocument.Factory.parse(serverData, validateOptions);
// IF THIS IS A COPY, IT WONT UPDATE THE ROOT 'config'
OBJECT ABOVE....and it doesn't
wipkeys[0] = keys.getWIPKEYS();
As for XMLCursor;
// THIS IS THE SAME XPATH YET RETURNS THE ROOT XMLINI
NODE?!?!
XmlCursor itemCursor = config.newCursor();
itemCursor.selectPath(wipQueryExpression);
Thx,
bob

specific part of an XMLObject
If you use the other method Cezar mentioned
parent.setWIPKEYS(keys.getWIPKEYS())
you can replace the entire WIPKEYS array.
Otherwise if you only want to replace one at a time there are some
methods for that too like insert, etc.
