Creating new elements While creating new elements in JDOM2, it is possible to pass the namespace to which the element should belong.

JDOM2 has three methods that accepts Filters while obtaining data. The three methods are &ltE extends Content&gt List&ltE&gt getContent(Filter&ltE&gt filter); &ltE extends Content&gt List&ltE&gt removeContent(Filter&ltE&gt filter); &ltE extends Content&gt IteratorIterable&ltE&gt getDescendants(Filter&ltE&gt filter); Filters are also extensively used in the JDOM2 XPath API, especially to ‘coerce the xpath result data in to the generic-typed results’. See … Read more

In the previous examples we saw how to bulid a JDOM2 document from w3c Document. We also saw how to build a JDOM2 Document using a SAXBuilder. In this example we look at how to create a JDOM2 document using a StAXEventBuilder or a StAXStreamBuilder. StAXEventBuilder StAXEventBuilder builds a JDOM2 document using a StAX based … Read more

Buliding JDOM2 documents from w3c DOM JDOM2 provides a DOMBuilder that can be used to build a JDOM2 Document from a org.w3c.dom.Document. If there are namespace declarations in the xml document then make sure that while parsing the XML document the setNamespaceAware method of the DocumentBuilderFactory is set to true. Before we look at an … Read more

A SAX Handler to handle SAX events. A JDOM2 Factory to build the JDOM2 Document This tutorial introduces the various classes that form … Read more

In the earlier tutorials we saw how to build a JDOM2 document using SAXBuilder. We also saw how to validate the document using DTD while using the SAXBuilder. In this tutorial we look at how to use the SAXBuilder that validates against an XSD. The example below shows how to use an internally defined XSD. … Read more

In this tutorial we look at how to use SAXBuilder to create a JDOM2 Document such that the SAXBuilder validates the XML using the DTD before creating the JDOM2 document. If you are looking for a way to create JDOM2 Document using the SAXBuilder but without any validation then this tutorial explains just that. We … Read more

In this tutorial we look at how to build a JDOM2 using a SAXBuilder. To understand how SAXBuilder works and how to configure it look at this tutorial. The example below demonstrates the following Building a JDOM2 document using a SAXBuilder. Obtaining the DOCTYPE of the document. Obtaining the root element of the document Obtaining … Read more

Building JDOM2 Document In this tutorial we look at an example of how to build and navigate through a JDOM2 document from an XML source (in this case, a BBC News “Technology” RSS feed). We first use the org.jdom2.input.SAXBuilder class to create the JDOM2 document from the source (more details and options on the SAXBuilder … Read more
