hello all,
i have a JDOM Document. i would like to add the content of this document's root element to the root element of another document. here is my attempt:



Exception in thread "main" org.jdom.IllegalAddException: The Content already has an existing parent "elem"

how can i do this?
thank you!

Hi,
I had faced a similar issue when i was working with JDOM, and i tried working with the detach() method, but was unsuccessful.The following approach will solve your problem
i also found another solution:

// get content of root element
List content = doc1.getRootElement().cloneContent();

cloneContent() instead of getContent() does it. you don't have to detach then.
