Hello folks,
I have some code that is supposed to look in a dom4j node, find child
elements/nodes within it that fit a criteria, then add an attribute to it.
This would be pretty simple except that this is unstructured content so when
the altered element is put "back" into the document it needs to go back to
exactly the place where it was before.
Is there a way I can manipulate the matched elements without pulling it out
of the parent node?
This is the code, I end up with a properly edited element, but the element
isn't part of the parent, intro, element anymore.
Document introDoc = DocumentHelper.parseText("<intro>" +
newsletter.getIntro() + "</intro>");
Element intro = introDoc.getRootElement();
// find all address values and append cid values
List addressList = intro.selectNodes("//address");
for (Iterator iter = addressList.iterator(); iter.hasNext(); ) {
Element addressEl = (Element) iter.next();
Enumeration articleListEnum = newsletter.getList().elements();
while(articleListEnum.hasMoreElements()){
ArticleList articleList = (ArticleList)
articleListEnum.nextElement();
if(articleList.getType().equals("article")){
Enumeration articles =
articleList.getMemberArticle().elements();
while(articles.hasMoreElements()){
Article article = (Article)
articles.nextElement();
if(addressEl.attributeValue("key").equals(article.getAddress())){
addressEl.addAttribute("cid",String.valueOf(article.getContentArticleID()));
}
}
}
}
}
