[jdom-interest] Add root Element to List

[Sinkinson,Andrew [NCR]]

Hi, 

 I am somewhat new to Jdom and have the following Question sorry if it's
a basic one.  I'm using Xpath to extract a repeating group of elements
from an XML document and storing them in a List.  ( This work's great )

What would be the best way to add a root element to the List so that I
can write out a valid XML document to the file system?  Any help would
be much appreciated.

Thanks,
 Andrew

    try{
      String filename = "C:/SearchGeo/XML/test.xml";
      String teststring = "ALKALINITY";

      SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder();
      Document doc = builder.build(new File(filename));

      XPath dataPath =
XPath.newInstance("/Searchresult/metadata[descendant::enttypl='"+teststr
ing+"']");

     dataPath.

      List results = dataPath.selectNodes(doc);

      /*  Add root element   */

    System.out.println("Results Found "+ results.size() +" metadata
record");

    XMLOutputter Xout = new XMLOutputter();
    Xout.setEncoding("ISO-8859-1");
    Xout.output(results ,System.out);
    }
    catch(JDOMException E){E.printStackTrace();}
