Question

I am using Org.W3c.dom for generating and parsing XML files in my app.

Here I am stuck because I can not find a way to add more elements to a Root element.

I want to generate Xml as below :

<root>
       <siteDesc>abc</siteDesc>
       <respCode>false</respCode>
       <respMsg>Done</respMsg>
  </root>

Here is the code which I am using to generate XML File …

private final DocumentBuilderFactory documentBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
Element responseElement = document.createElementNS(NAMESPACE_URI, "root");
responseElement.appendChild("TODO") // Confused Here .. How to append elements with their names

Can anyone suggest me, Here In above code .. What are the required changed to add elements to the roor node ????

Answer 1

You want to

1. create a node and add that to your document (responseElement)
2. create further Elements and add those to your responseElement (again, using appendChild())
3. for each of these, create a TextNode and add those to your Elements

In the above, the element creation is distinct from the addition to the document.
