Hi all,<br>
My problem is to edit an xml document to remove the duplicate
entries it has before giving it to the XSL for display....<br>
Here goes my logic:<br>
1)Get the document.<br>
2) traverse it for duplicate entries and put all the unique entries
into an array list<br>
3) Then create the new document with elements in arraylist.<br>
4)I am creating the root element and subroot element and adding the
each element in my array list...Here I am getting the exception <br>
"<a onmousedown="return clk(this,'res',1,'')"
href="http://www.jdom.org/pipermail/jdom-interest/2001-October/007851.html"><b>element</b>
<b>already</b> <b>has</b> an existing <b>parent FWRules"
--IllegalADDException.</b></a><br>
<br>
P.S :The elements in the list has elements which in turn has so many
sub-elements...<br>
<br>
Can u please help me what I am doing wrong ???How to convert a list to
Document again...I am using JDK1.3.1<br>
<br>
Element Oldelem =
doc.getRootElement().getChild("Success").getChild("Rules");
<br>
ListIterator OldIter =
Oldelem.getChild("FWRules").getChildren("ConRule").listIterator();<br>
Vector ID_ref = new Vector();<br>
ArrayList new_list = new ArrayList();<br>
int count=0;<br>
while(OldIter.hasNext())<br>
{<br>
Element OldChildElem=((Element)
OldIter.next());<br>
Element Attri =
OldChildElem.getChild("FWRule");<br>
String ID=Attri.getAttributeValue("id");
<br>
count++;<br>
if(count<=1)<br>
{ <br>
ID_ref.addElement(ID);
<br>
new_list.add(OldChildElem);
<br>
<br>
}<br>
else if(!ID.equals(ID_ref.elementAt(0)))<br>
{ <br>
ID_ref.remove(0);<br>
ID_ref.addElement(ID);<br>
new_list.add(OldChildElem);
<br>
<br>
}<br>
}<br>
<br>
Document Doc_New = new Document(new
Element("Rules")); <br>
Element sub-elem =new Element("FWRules");
<br>
for(int l=0;l<new_list.size();l++)<br>
{ <br>
Element element_In_list =
((Element)new_list.get(l));<br>
XMLOutputter output =new XMLOutputter();<br>
System.out.println("XMLOutputter:"+output.outputString(output));<br>
<font color="#cc0000"> <big><b>sub-elem.addContent(elment_In_list);
//HERE IS where I get the exception</b></big></font><br>
}<br>
Doc_New.getRootElement().addContent(subroot);<br>
<br>
}
