[jdom-interest] traversing the JDOM tree

[Dave Bartmess]

try putting this in your class:

public java.util.ArrayList recurseFind(Element newElem, String name) {
	java.util.ArrayList newList = newElem.getChildren(name);
	java.util.ArrayList childList = new ArrayList();

	java.util.Iterator iter = newList.iterator();
	while (iter.hasNext()) {
		childList.addAll(recurseFind(iter.next());
	}
	newList.addAll(childList);

	return newList;
}

But one should not forget that money can buy a bed but not sleep, 
finery but not beauty, a house but not a home, 
medicine but not health, luxuries but not culture, 
sex but not love, and amusements but not happiness.
