[jdom-interest] Replacing Element Text

[Kenworthy, Edward]

I found that a little tricky.

This is what my replace text code currently looks like:

  public void setText(String newText)
  {
    List children = _theElement.getChildren();
    children.add(new CDATA(newText));
    _theElement.setChildren(children);
  }

Otherwise setting the text will over-write *all* the elements children.

I would like to traverse a jdom Document and when I find a String, process
it and, if necessary, 
make a change to it.   I am trying to create a variety of content filters.

I have been reading the archives and have seen that this has been discussed
(modifying text).
