Did the code execute without issue and just not work, or did it throw an exception of some sort?
I've never really tried removing an element from my XMLObject hierarchy, but when I add elements I do the exact same kind of thing. Perhaps you could try something like the following. (fair warning this code is off the hip and not optimized or tested) Text[] newArray = body.getParagraphArray(0).getTextArray(); for(int index =1; index < newArray.length - 1; index++) newArray[index] = newArray[index + 1]; body.getParagraphArray(0).setTextArray(newArray); -Duane -----Original Message----- From: minimalism [mailto:t...@gospodinov.net] Sent: Friday, August 13, 2010 5:29 PM To: user@xmlbeans.apache.org Subject: Removing an XML element I searched the forums for a solution to the problem I am having, but I could not find anything that would work for me. I have an xml file that has nested elements. A very simplified example would be: <code><pre> <body> <paragraph font="Verdana"> <text size = "2">Line1</text> <text size = "1">Line2</text> <text>Line3</text> </paragraph> </body> </pre></code> I want to remove line 2 above. I do this: <code><pre> body.getParagraphArray(0).removeText(1); </pre></code> This did not work. Am I missing something?
