Hi, I'm following from an earlier suggestion to make XMLTableModel updates. The method was to use XPath to map back from the table row/col to the Node at this location in the document.
The following code does update the document (via the node handle) but at the wrong place - always at the second last row. public void setValueAt(Object o, int row, int col) { Object object = definition.getRowXPath().selectNodes(source); if ( object instanceof List ) { List list = (List) object; for ( Iterator iter = list.iterator(); iter.hasNext(); ) { Object obj = iter.next(); org.dom4j.tree.DefaultElement defaultElement = (org.dom4j.tree.DefaultElement) obj; System.err.println( "rowIndex:" + row ); System.err.println( "nodeCount:" + defaultElement.nodeCount() ); System.err.println( "name:" + ((org.dom4j.Node) defaultElement.node(row)).getName() ); System.err.println( "parent:" + defaultElement.getParent()); org.dom4j.Node node = defaultElement.node(row); if (defaultElement.nodeCount() ==1) { node.setText("****NEW*VALUE****"); return; } } } The xml data file is follows:- <?xml version="1.0"?> <EngineeringSpecification xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="spec.xsd"> <Summary> <device>F711111</device> </Summary> <Summary> <device>F722222</device> </Summary> <Summary> <device>F733333</device> </Summary> <Summary> <device>F744444</device> </Summary> <Summary> <device>F755555</device> </Summary> </EngineeringSpecification> -- John. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: To learn the basics of securing your web site with SSL, click here to get a FREE TRIAL of a Thawte Server Certificate: http://www.gothawte.com/rd524.html _______________________________________________ dom4j-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dom4j-user
