I would expect you to get:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<tag1>ABC</tag1>
<tag2>123</tag2>
<tag2>456</tag2>
</root>

This is perfectly good, well-formed XML. There's no reason that you can't
have duplicate tags in a well-formed XML document.

On the other hand, depending on whether you validate it, it might not be
*valid*, but that's dependent on the DTD/XSD that you're validating
against. Since JDOM does not check validity against a DTD/XSD after the
JDOM tree is created, the addContent should work just fine.
