<P><FONT SIZE=2>Two ways to do it...</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>The first is to have:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>elementToMove.detach();</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>newHome.addContent(elementToMove);</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>OR</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>anotherElement = (Element)elementToMove.clone();</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>newHome.addContent(anotherElement);</FONT>

<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hello List.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I have some problem with the Element object.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I read a XML file from the file system with the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>SaxBuilder.build method. From the Document I get a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>special Element. These Element I want to put as child</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>to another Element to store this into another XML</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>file.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>The problem is, that the Element I got from the file</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>has a parent. If I want to add this Element to the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>other Element I became an exception from the JDOM,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>that this element could not be add, because it already</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>has another parent. Thats right. Of course it has</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>parent. But I want the switch the parent. The method</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>setParent is protectd in the Element class.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>So, can anybody tell me, how to add an existing</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Element with setted parent to another Element. I find</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>that this is no unusual and there have to be another</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>way instead of recreate all elements a clone the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>content by calling all getter and setter.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>TIA and merry christmas and a happy new year</FONT>
