Hi,
use XMLDataObject.getDocument() to access the DOM. After modifying the DOM,
you can update the file like this:
final FileObject file = getPrimaryFile();
file.getFileSystem().runAtomicAction(() -> {
final FileLock l = file.lock();
try (final OutputStream os = file.getOutputStream(l)) {
XMLUtil.write(doc, os, "utf-8");
//Do something to unregister the Saveable
} finally {
l.releaseLock();
}
});
Hope it helps.
Boris
