Sounds a bit like an exam question ;-) Remember that the Element.content() returns a List of Node objects that you can change and that Node has getParent() to walk up the tree. So once you've found car3 there are various ways to do what you need. e.g.
Element car3 = (Element) doc.selectSingleNode( "doc1/red/small/car3" ); Document doc2 = ...; Element red = (Element) doc2.selectSingleNode( "doc2/red" ); Element small = red.addElement( "small" ); small.add( car3.detach() ); James ----- Original Message ----- From: "WERKSTUDENT1" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2002 2:42 PM Subject: [dom4j-user] mergind documents > Hi again! > Another question related with my last mail: > > Imagine again: > > doc1 > -----red > -----large > -----car1 > -----car2 > -----small > -----car3 > -----blue > -----large > -----car4 > > Is there a way to extract the path of the document for only one element?
