[jdom-interest] Newbie question.

[nostromo at arcor.de]

Hi!

I wanted to make a new document from a part of a bigger document.
I retrieve a Element from the bigger document:
Element el = tt.getChild("MsData");
And want to made it the root of a new document.
Document doct = new Document(el);
At runtime i got the following error.
org.jdom.IllegalAddException: The element "MsData" could not be added as the root of the document: The element already has an existing parent "db"    

Any hints or solutions?


I am new to jdom, xml and java.
