Hello David,
in case you know parent node is element, you can change type of variable:
Element parentElement = (Element) parentNode;
But with dom4j you should better do this:
private static void updateNode(Document document, String elementName, String
text) {
Namespace xdp = Namespace.get("xdp", "http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/";);
Namespace xdp = Namespace.get("xfa", "
http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/";);
Element parent = document.getRootElement().element(QName.get("xdp",
xdp)).element(QName.get("datasets", xfa)).element(QName.get("data",
xfa)).element("form1");
Element dataNode = parent.element(elementName);
if (dataNode == null) {
dataNode = parent.addElement(elementName);
}
dataNode.setText(text);
}
Sincerely,
Filip Jirsák
