<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just started using JDOM and I am facing a problem
with the clone() method of Element.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My code is as follows :</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Element tempNode =
(Element)currentNode.clone();<BR>
System.out.println("Parent " +
currentNode.getParent().getName());<BR>
while(tempNode.getParent() != null)<BR>
{<BR> currentNodeHName =
tempNode.getName() + "/" +
currentNodeHName;<BR> tempNode =
tempNode.getParent();<BR>
System.out.println("Path " +
currentNodeHName);<BR> }<BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The first print statement shows the name of the
parent. The second print statement did not even get printed. This means that
after the cloning, the parent is lost, that's why the while loop is not entered.
Is this a known problem or there is something wrong with my code.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks a lot for any help.</FONT></DIV>
