XML DOM query

[felix thomas]

hi,
I have a class test as shown below i have made a document object and added elements to it. I want ot know wether can i change the value of a Node directly without using the Functions Replacechild or Removechild etc
If i get the node name from the getNodename() then i want to change the value of the node using setNodeValue() but getNodename returns a string.
Is there any other method.
Public class test {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
try{

DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document document = builder.newDocument();
Element Record = document.createElement("Details");
Element LoginName = document.createElement("LoginName");
Text loginData = document.createTextNode("Felix");
LoginName.appendChild(loginData);
Element PassWord = document.createElement("Password");
Text passData = document.createTextNode("Thomas");
PassWord.appendChild(passData);
Element errorMessage = document.createElement("ErrorMessage");
Text errorData = document.createTextNode("What am i doing");
errorMessage.appendChild(errorData);
Record.appendChild(LoginName);
Record.appendChild(PassWord);
Record.appendChild(errorMessage);
document.appendChild(Record);
System.out.println(errorData.getNodeValue());
// errorData.setNodeValue("Changed error Message");
// System.out.println(errorData.getNodeValue());
NodeList nodeList = document.getElementsByTagName("ErrorMessage");
Node nTmp ;
if (nodeList != null)
{
for (int loopIndex = 0; loopIndex < nodeList.getLength();loopIndex++ )
{
System.out.println(nodeList.item(loopIndex));
nTmp = nodeList.item(loopIndex);
//nTmp.setNodeValue("Changed error Message");
System.out.println(nTmp.getNodeName());
// nTmp = (Node) nTmp.getNodeName() ;
// String tt = nTmp.getNodeName();
System.out.println(nTmp.getNodeValue());
//String tt;
}
}
// System.out.println(errorData.getNodeValue());
}catch(Exception e){
System.out.println(e);
}

}

}

Could you elaborate on this sentence a bit? You should be able to use org.w3c.dom.Node#setNodeValue(String) or org.w3c.dom.CharacterData#setData(String) to change the value.
