ElementProxy troubles

[Kenneth Jensen]

Hi guys,

I'm working on some XKMS stuff, and thought I could reuse the
ElementProxy class from org.apache.xml.security.utils package. The
thing is, it doesn't do as I expect it to, so I'm inclined to just
hack up my own version.

The addTextElement( String text, String localname) doesn't append the
new element to the tree, and I don't really see why, so if anyone
could enlighten me please. :)

Below is a code example to illustrate my question, and I use the
xml-security code from CVS (from some day in last week). The output I
expect is something like this:

<myrootelement xmlns="mynamespace">
  <mytextelement xmlns="http://w3.org/xml-dsig/...";>
      sometext
  </mytextelement>
</myrootelement>

-but the actual output is:

<myrootelement></myrootelement>.

I've been staring at it for some time, so I hope I'm not missing
something obvious.
