JFYI: I tried plain DOM implementation, rememeber pls, I am a begginer, in this space, and found DOM doc creation too cumbersom, the inteface/implementaiton split drove me nuts :-) almost nothing I wanted to do was intuitive.
With JDOM, I got the results I wanted right away, maybe it just fits the way my brain works :-) I will take it! Again, thanks a million for thsi discussion. L.
