FW: [jdom-interest] element creation with < issues

[Narahari Lakshminarayana]

Paul,

That's exactly what I ended up doing.  But there should a way to be able to do this easily.

I don't understand this detaching concept.  Is it there in the regular xml library as well ?

When I mean regular it is the cross language api that JDOM helped us avoid  ?

I understand that XML to be well formed should have only one root.  But I don't understand
What detach gives me.

In order to parse, you need a surrounding element.

Now, having this parsed into doc :
doc.getRootElement().getChildren() gets you a list of the element.
But you should probably detach each of them before adding them to another parent, then add them to another document.
