[jdom-interest] iterative addChild

[Paul Madsen]

I'm trying to iterate through an elements children, adding children as I
go between each existing child and the following one.

When I try:

      Element events = root.getChild("events");
      List eventslist = events.getChildren("event");

     Iterator iterator = eventslist.iterator();
     while (iterator.hasNext()) {
          Object o = iterator.next();

          Element e_event = (Element) o;

         Element fillevent = new Element("fillevent");
         events.addChild(fillevent);
  }

I get a result tree that looks like

events
    |____ event
    |____ event
    |____ event
    |____ fillevent
    |____ fillevent
    |____ fillevent

rather than

events
    |____ event
    |____ fillevent
    |____ event
    |____ fillevent
    |____ event
    |____ fillevent

Will the iterator traverse the original tree or try to account for the
new elements as they are added?

thanks for any tips.
