I want to do following in a FOR loop i.e. 1. Get the FOUR elements under <JposEntries> from xml file below. 2. Copy them to some dom4j element(??? Which one to use???) 3. convert that element to string and do some string manipulation 4. Covert that string back to dom4j element 5. Insert that element at the end in <JposEntries> 6. Repeat step 1. (But now the doc will have 8 elements under <JposEntries>

You could also do it iteratively: for(int i=0; i<jPostEntries.content().size(); i++) someOtherElement.add( ( (Node)jPosEntries.content().get(i) ).clone() ); --Evan Devang Joshi wrote: > > Below is my xml file.
