Hi,

What is the best way to move an org.jdom.Element with jdom?

I am using the method below. What do you think about it?

public final void moveElement(Element elem, String parentIdref, String
prevSiblIdref) {
 String focusIdref = elem.getAttributeValue("id");
 Element parent = this.getElement(parentIdref);
 List children = parent.getChildren();
 List _children = new ArrayList(children.size() + 1);
 for (ListIterator i = children.listIterator(); i.hasNext();) {
  Element child = (Element) i.next();

  String id = child.getAttributeValue("id");
  if (null == id) {
    _children.add(child);
  } else if (!id.equals(focusIdref)) {
    _children.add(child);
  }

  if (null != id && id.equals(prevSiblIdref)) {
    _children.add(elem);
  }
 }
 if ("null".equals(prevSiblIdref)) {
  _children.add(0, elem);
 }
 children.clear();
 parent.setContent(_children);
}

thanks,
-Rob
