I having an xml file with following entries.


from java i need to update the entry for <dontshowremove> to true.

I tried it in following way using Jdom


In this way value is getting updated on Element object only not in file i.e. when i open xml file it is displaying false only.

Please let me know, how i can modify the physical xml file entry and save that file.
so for the next time when i open an file i'll get the new entry.

Thanks
Sharad

I had a quick look through the documentation, to see if I could find something that would write a Document to a file. JDOM consists of about half a dozen packages. The one named org.jdom.output looked like it might have something to do with outputting things. And indeed it contained a class named XMLOutputter whose description is exactly what you want. The documentation is your friend.

Please let me know, here"outputter.output(doc,buf);" will update file with only one updated entry or the whole doc i.e complete xml file will be regenerated from the scratch.
I am asking this due to performance related issues.

Thanks
Sharad
