[jdom-interest] Re: Renaming a node in a tree

[Oliver Ruebenacker]

     Hello Ian,

  Oops, sorry, it seems to work in fact.

  My code behaved as if it did not work, and then I searched the web
and found some messages that seemed to suggest that setName() should
not be used, so I thought the intended way to modify a tree was
another one.

     Take care
     Oliver
