[jdom-interest] "Cloning" Problem

[Wang K H]

Hi,

I just started using JDOM and I am facing a problem with the clone() method of Element.

My code is as follows :

      Element tempNode = (Element)currentNode.clone();
      System.out.println("Parent " + currentNode.getParent().getName());
      while(tempNode.getParent() != null)
      {
        currentNodeHName = tempNode.getName() + "/" +  currentNodeHName;
        tempNode = tempNode.getParent();
        System.out.println("Path " + currentNodeHName);
      }

The first print statement shows the name of the parent. The second print statement did not even get printed. This means that after the cloning, the parent is lost, that's why the while loop is not entered. Is this a known problem or there is something wrong with my code.

Thanks a lot for any help.
