hi palash,
am also new in XML.
Okay i guess DOM provides a way to insert an attribute.
So read in ur xml document using a dom parser.
org.w3c.dom.Element interface has a setAttribute()/ setAttributeNode() methods for the same. SO i guess u can add one when u encounter the element of your choice.
I hope Ajit/map/ someone w'd correct me if i'm wrong.

"palash",
The Java Ranch has thousands of visitors every week, many with surprisingly similar names. To avoid confusion we have a naming convention, described at http://www.javaranch.com/name.jsp . We require names to have at least two words, separated by a space, and strongly recommend that you use your full real name. Please log in with a new name which meets the requirements.
Thanks.

I remember that only XmlDocument can actually write to a output file. here is the api link: http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp-1.0.1/docs/api/internal/com/sun/xml/tree/XmlDocument.html
it is in jaxp package, you may need to download the jar file from sun
