How to write settings into xml

Question

I?ve got a small class that returns the names of each JInternalFrame. The code is below; I have an xml file where I am saving various settings. In the xml file I have created a tag and in that tag I want to write all the name of the JInternalFrames. Can someone help me with writing a method which will write the frames names into the xml tag.
package persisted_display_settings;
import javax.swing.*;
import mdi_internal_frame.FrameManager;
import mdi_internal_frame.TSFrame;
import state_manager.StateManager.Prerequisite;
* The PersistDisplaySettings looks after the persisted screen settings for each frame.
* It allows the user to save the layout settings of each screen so that the user doesn't
* have to reconfigure layout every time they restart
public class PersistDisplaySettings {
     * Gets the name of all TS frames and the last modified layout information and saves
     * this in a xml file
     * @param projectDir is the project directory
     public void SaveCurrentTsProfile(String projectDir) {
          System.out.println("Start Here");
          System.out.println(projectDir);
          JInternalFrame[] frames = FrameManager.getJDesktopTS().getAllFrames();
          System.out.println(frames.length);
// Iterate through each frame that is open and get the names
          // Only get the names of the frames that are saved
          for (int noOfFrames = 0; noOfFrames < frames.length; noOfFrames++) {
               String tsName = "";
               boolean unsaved = true;
               //Check to make sure the frames are TS frames
               if (frames[noOfFrames] instanceof TSFrame) {        
                    JInternalFrame tsFrames = frames[noOfFrames];
                    if(tsFrames.getTitle().contains(":-")){
                         tsName = tsFrames.getTitle();
                         tsName = tsName.substring(17);
                         unsaved = getSavedTSNames(tsFrames);
                    else if(tsFrames.getTitle().contains("-")){
                         tsName = tsFrames.getTitle();
                         tsName = tsName.substring(16);
                         unsaved = getSavedTSNames(tsFrames);
                    if(!unsaved){
                         System.out.println(tsName);
          System.out.println("point 2");
          FrameManager.getSelectedTSFrame().isMaximum();
          System.out.println(FrameManager.getSelectedTSFrame());
          System.out.println(FrameManager.getSelectedTSFrame().isMaximum());
     * Returns all the saved TS frame names. This method is Called
     * by the SaveCurrentTsProfile method
     * @param save boolean flgg indicating if GUI should save modified test sequences
     public boolean getSavedTSNames(JInternalFrame frame) {
                    boolean[] modified = ((TSFrame)frame).stateManager
                    .getPrereqState(Prerequisite.TS_MODIFIED);
                    return modified[0];     
}

I have a GUI project which has frames consisting of data in table view. What i'm trying to do is save the layout of the frames into an xml file so that the user doesn't have to reconfigure layout every time they restart the application. The code which i have attached gets the names of each frame.
I also have another class which is currently generating various other settings and writing it into the xml file. The xml file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <PTMViewProfile>
- <viewProfile>
<testSequences />
- <tsName>
<tsName tag="arefa" />
</tsName>
<tsStatus />
- <columns>
- <tcc>
<column tag="usim" visible="false" width="75" index="-1" />
<column tag="dev" visible="false" width="75" index="-1" />
<column tag="tp" visible="false" width="75" index="-1" />
<column tag="iwd" visible="false" width="75" index="-1" />
<column tag="tdma" visible="false" width="75" index="-1" />
<column tag="selref" visible="true" width="75" index="2" />
<column tag="md" visible="false" width="75" index="-1" />
<column tag="timer" visible="false" width="75" index="-1" />
<column tag="description" visible="false" width="75" index="-1" />
<column tag="name" visible="true" width="120" index="0" />
<column tag="domain" visible="true" width="75" index="5" />
<column tag="note" visible="false" width="75" index="-1" />
<column tag="hsdpa" visible="false" width="75" index="-1" />
<column tag="wi" visible="true" width="75" index="4" />
<column tag="ttcn" visible="false" width="75" index="-1" />
<column tag="approval" visible="false" width="75" index="-1" />
<column tag="inter" visible="false" width="75" index="-1" />
<column tag="duration" visible="false" width="75" index="-1" />
<column tag="etsi" visible="true" width="75" index="1" />
<column tag="hsupa" visible="false" width="75" index="-1" />
<column tag="auto" visible="true" width="75" index="3" />
<column tag="cipher" visible="false" width="75" index="-1" />
<column tag="suite" visible="false" width="75" index="-1" />
<column tag="shield" visible="false" width="75" index="-1" />
<column tag="hop" visible="false" width="75" index="-1" />
</tcc>
In the - <tsName> i want to print out all the names of the frames.
This is the method thats creating the tags in the xml file. This method is stored in a different class;
public Element writeViewProfile(String name) {
          Message.logInfo("Saving View Profile XML Document:" + name);
          Element root = XMLManager.createNamedElement("PTMViewProfile");
          Element viewProfile = XMLManager.createNamedChildElement(root, xmlViewTag);
          Element tsNameTag = XMLManager.createNamedChildElement(viewProfile, xmlTSFrameTag);
          Element tsFrameName = XMLManager.createNamedChildElement(viewProfile, xmlFrameTag);
          writeTsFrame(tsFrameName, "Arefa");
          Element tsFrameStatus = XMLManager.createNamedChildElement(viewProfile, xmlFrameStatusTag);
          Element columns = XMLManager.createNamedChildElement(viewProfile, xmlColumnsTag);
          writeColumnSet(columns, xmlTCCColumnTag);
          writeColumnSet(columns, xmlTSColumnTag);
          writeColumnSet(columns, xmlResTCCColumnTag);
          writeColumnSet(columns, xmlResTSColumnTag);
          Element sashes = XMLManager.createNamedChildElement(viewProfile, xmlSashesTag);
          for (int i = 0; i < sashList.size(); i++) {
               writeSash(sashes, sashList.get(i));
          return root;
     };This is the method thats writing the xml file;
private void saveProfile(String name) {
          if (!readyToSave)
               return;
          ViewProfile viewProfile = viewProfiles.get(currentViewProfileName);
          if (viewProfile != null) {
               // try {
               Element root = viewProfile.writeViewProfile("ptmProfile");
               // create an xml document with our data
               Document doc = new Document(root);
               // dump the document to file
               XMLManager.dumpXMLDocToFile(doc, "ptmProfile", FileManager.baseDir());
               // catch (Exception ignore) {
               // System.out.println(ignore.getMessage() + ignore.getStackTrace());
     }In the xml file how can i print the names of the frames into that <tsName> tag using the SaveCurrentTsProfile() method .
I hope this helps you understand whats hapenning.
Thanks!
