ok, so using JAXP (which is embedded in JDK 1.4 so if you use this JDK no need to add anything on your classpath).
0. few imports
import org.w3c.dom.*;
import javax.xml.parsers.*;
import javax.xml.transform.*;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.*;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.*;1.load the XML file in a DOM:
Document doc = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder().parse("c:/data/myxmlfile.xml");2. manipulate the DOM, see:
http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/1.0/tutorial/doc/JAXPDOM7.html#65002
3. save the DOM:
Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
transformer.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "1");
transformer.transform(new DOMSource(doc), new StreamResult(new FileOutputStream("c:/data/myxmlfile.xml")));hope it helps.
