Here's my code to remove some elements. The elements are removed from the list (I have 17 elements to begin with and I am left with 8, which is correct). The original XML string (it's a string, not a file) is unchanged though, it still has all the 17 elements!! What do I have to do to reflect these changes in the original xml?? I tried doing a dataRs.setContent(null); dataRs.setChildren(listSections ).
That didn't work. Any suggestions??? Thanks
List listSections = dataRs.getChildren("ABC");
Iterator iterSections = listSections.iterator();
while(iterSections.hasNext()){
elemSection = (Element) iterSections.next();
if(elemSection.getChildTextTrim("HDG").equalsIgnoreCase("XYX"){
iterSections.remove();
}
}
