How to insert xml node before or after another one ?

[myannou]

Hello,

In a forge plugin I use the XMLParser Forge API to parse a web.xml file.

And in this file I need to insert a new node (servlet for instance) not at the end of the web.xml, but just after the last servlet node.

I tried to use webXmlNode.createChild("servlet") but I cannot control where exactly I insert this node.

How to acheive this ?

Thanks

Yann

Which version of the XML-parser are you using?

Hi Lincoln,

I am using the version bundle with Forge 1.2.3, but if it is better I can use the one bundle with Forge 1.3.2

Thanks

I did the test with Forge 1.3.3-SNAPSHOT and this is the same issue

Should I use something else to insert an xml element at a specific place ?

Thanks

Hi Yann,

Looks like there isn't a method to add nodes at a specific place. The Node.getChildren() method returns an unmodifiable list. Could you please file this issue in JIRA ?

Thanks !

Damn. Okay, yeah, submit an issue and we'll have to take a look at this. Sorry for the trouble.
