[jdom-interest] How can I copy XML pieces(3-4 levels) to another XML file??

[Terje Kvambe]

I'm not one of the real JDOM experts, but I would say that the answer to
your question is yes. You can use the clone method to take a deep copy of an
element. See javadoc from jdom.org below. If you want to cut&paste the
element, you can use the detach method instead.

clone
public Object clone()
This returns a deep clone of this element. The new element is detached from
its parent, and getParent() on the clone will return null. 
Overrides: 
clone in class Object
Returns: 
the clone of this element

detach
public Element detach()
This detaches the element from its parent, or does nothing if the element
has no parent. 
Returns: 
Element - this Element modified.

Good morning Friendst¡¡¡ (In Spain)

I read some articles About JDOM to create,mutate and read XML files, but i
have a doubt.

    I'm developing an application that copy XML pieces(3-4 levels) to
another XML file, but i don't Know if JDOM have a function to copy( deep
copy?? Can i use the clone function??) a big piece of XML to another XML
file or I have to copy Element by Element and level by level??

    I wait for your expert tip¡¡¡¡¡
