append an element to a text node using jdom?

[Anonymous]

Hello,
I just started using JDOM.
It seems a Text node can only append a Text node using JDOM?
I try to append an element to a text node like the following:

  
   <parent>
      <anotherChild>...</anotherChild>
      I am a child: <child>Child</child> //this line needs to be added
   </parent>

Inside <parent> element, <anotherChild> element already exists,
if I want to add the second line containing a textr node and
a <child> node with content, how can I do it?
thanks,

What happens is actually the following:

<parent>      
  <anotherChild>...</anotherChild>
  I am a child: 
  <child>Child</child>
</parent>

In clear, you don't have the notion of a "line" in XML. In the above XML code, parent has three children, namely the element anotherChild, a text node with the content "I am a child:", and finally another element called child.
The XML document above could be created with the following code:

...
Element root = new Element("parent");
Document doc = new Document(root);

//adding <anotherChild>...</anotherChild>
Element anotherChild = new Element("anotherChild");
anotherChild.addContent(new Text("..."));
root.addContent(anotherChild);

//adding I am a child:
root.addContent(new Text("I am a child:"));

//adding <child>Child</child>
Element child = new Element("child");
child.addContent(new Text("Child"));
root.addContent(child);
...

I hope it helps

Thanks,
Sorry, I did not make it clear.
My intention was to put two nodes together nomatter its a
a text node or element. Its possible there
are other nodes after <child>

  
 <parent>
      <anotherChild>...</anotherChild>
      I am a child: <child>Child</child> //<child>element needs to be added
      <child2>child2</child2>
   </parent>

In order to do that, should I remove text node first, then
add it and <child> element together to <parent>?
Is there an easy way to do that?
thanks
