[jdom-interest] Re: Adding String to Element where String contains an Element in String form

[J S]

I figured out how to do it.

The trick was:
//turn the title into an xml document   
List l = doc.getContents()
//detach each of the contents
List old = oldElement.getChildren();
l.addAll(old);

oldElement.removeChildren();
oldElement.setContent(l);

I am still running into the namespace problem but I
think for now I'll use a - instead of a : to avoid
namespace and then put the : back in on
transformation.
