[jdom-interest] Editing Attributes

[Rolf Lear]

You can simply change the value of the Address attribute.

XPathExpression<Element> xp =
XPathFactory.instance().compile("//contact_properties[@user_name='bashiro']",
Filters.element());
Element contactprops = xp.evaluateFirst(document);
contactprops.setAttribute("addess", "newaddress");

Technically you can go direct to the Attribute and do it like:

XPathExpression<Attribute> xp =
XPathFactory.instance().compile("//contact_properties/@address[../@user_name='bashiro']",
Filters.attribute());
Attribute address = xp.evaluateFirst(document);
address.setValue("newaddress");
