Fwd: Replacing an element with another element

Fwd: Replacing an element with another element

Hi there
first time poster so go easy on me :)

I have a document, that I want to replace an Element with another
Element (from a different document). I have tried a number of things
but dont seem to be able to get it right.
(A little more background, I have a document tree, when you select an
Element, you can see the whole Element's text in a text field that
you can edit it. When you are done editing that Element, it creates a
new document with just that Element, I now want to replace the
original element with that text)

Any ideas?

Here is what I have so far...
StringBuffer StringBuffer1 = new StringBuffer(editedElementText);
ByteArrayInputStream Bis1;
try {
Bis1 = new ByteArrayInputStream(StringBuffer1.toString
().getBytes("UTF-8 (See http://UTF-8.ora-code.com)"));
LineNumberSAXBuilder builder = new LineNumberSAXBuilder();
builder.setValidation(false);
Document document = builder.build(Bis1);
Element content = (Element)document.getRootElement().clone();
selNode.setElement(content); //the orignial node
XMLOutputter outputter = new XMLOutputter();
String modDocument = outputter.outputString(selNode.getElement
().getDocument());
System.out.println(modDocument);

}
....

but it doesnt seem to change the original document.

Many thanks in advance

Mark Drew
