[jdom-interest] to change element text (keeping children)

[Munirul Islam]

Hi!

I am trying to change the text of an element in a dom keeping its children.

n.setText("b");

Here, the setText method changes the text deleting n's children.

I tried the following code:

Element m = new Element("Element");
m = (Element) n.clone();
n.setText("b");
n.setContent(m.getChildren);

ends up giving illegalAddException.

Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Thanks!
