Add root Element to List

Add root Element to List

2003-12-02 - By Sinkinson,Andrew [NCR]

Hi,

I am somewhat new to Jdom and have the following Question sorry if it's
a basic one. I'm using Xpath to extract a repeating group of elements
from an XML document and storing them in a List. ( This work's great )

What would be the best way to add a root element to the List so that I
can write out a valid XML document to the file system? Any help would
be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Andrew

try{
String filename = "C:/SearchGeo/XML/test.xml";
String teststring = "ALKALINITY";

SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder();
Document doc = builder.build(new File(filename));

XPath dataPath =
XPath.newInstance("/Searchresult/metadata[descendant::enttypl='"+teststr
ing+"']");

dataPath.

List results = dataPath.selectNodes(doc);

/* Add root element */

System.out.println("Results Found "+ results.size() +" metadata
record");

XMLOutputter Xout = new XMLOutputter();
Xout.setEncoding("ISO-8859-1");
Xout.output(results ,System.out);
}
catch(JDOMException E){E.printStackTrace();}
