[jdom-interest] insert

[Uwe_Hale at i2.com]

One way is to get the list of elements and add it at a particular index.
Here is some code I'm using to get around the lack of a setname method.


    public static Object changeElementName(Object obj, String name)
    {
        Element elem = (Element)obj;
        Element parentElem = elem.getParent();

        List list = parentElem.getChildren();
        int index = list.indexOf(elem);
        list.remove(index);
        list.add(index, elem.getCopy(name));
        return list.get(index);
}

don't know this for sure, but is there a way to "insert" and element in a
particular order?

if I have elements:

<a>
 the beginning
</a>
<c>
 the end
</c>

And I would like to insert <b>the middle</b> in between <a> and <c>, how is
it done?

Regards,

Elephantwalker
