Actually, after "fixing" the html, I still continue to have the problem of the null pointer exception. I can't figure out what is causing it. In the interim, I just wrapped the code that throws the exception with a try/catch clause and ignore the exception.
I'm still a bit puzzled about how to rename elements however. As far as I can tell from the API, there are some situations where a node is read-only, and you can't modify it's contents. As near as I can tell, you are forced to create a new document, and stick in the nodes you want in their appropriate locations if you want to rename them. With large documents this is prohibitively difficult.... I'm curious why the setName() method can't be used. _______________________________________________ dom4j-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dom4j-user
