Hi,
I couldn't reprocude your problem. The following code generates the correct XML:
Document doc = DocumentFactory.getInstance().createDocument();
Element grandFather = doc.addElement("grandfather");
Element parent1 = grandFather.addElement("parent");
Element child1 = parent1.addElement("child1");
Element child2 = parent1.addElement("child2");
child2.setText("test");
Element parent2 = grandFather.addElement("parent");
Element child3 = parent2.addElement("child3");
child3.setText("test");
StringWriter buffer = new StringWriter();
OutputFormat format = OutputFormat.createPrettyPrint();
XMLWriter writer = new XMLWriter(buffer, format);
writer.write(doc);
String xml = buffer.toString();
could you try the code above to check if it works for you as well?
regards, Maarten

I have noticed something unusual when creating an xml document with dom4j. Some of my tags seem to disappear after empty tags and I wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this. For example, if the following is how its SUPPOSE to look:
<grandparent> <parent> <child1>test</child1> <child2>test</child1> </parent> <parent> <child3>test</child3> </parent> </grandparent>
the following is generated if child1 is empty and child2 has a value
<grandparent> <parent> <child1/> </parent> <parent> <child3>test</child3> </parent> </grandparent>
You can see that child2 is completely ignored even though it shouldnt be. WHY!?!. if anyone else has encountered this please let me know the work around. Thanks for your help in advanced.
