Parsing XML-trees backwards with JDOM?

[Robert Jaeger]

Hi!
I use JSP/JDOM to create HTML pages (source in stored in XML-files)
I am parsing trough XML-trees like that (simplified code):

while(some_iterator.hasNext())
{
  Element some_element = (Element) some_iterator.next();
}

Can I parse a XML-tree backwars, beginning with the last element?
Something like that:

while(some_iterator.hasPrev())
{
  Element some_element = (Element) some_iterator.prev();
}

I'm not sure how the JDOM API looks like, but it would be pretty simple to implement a reverse iterator for the standard DOM using NodeList#item(int) and NodeList#getLength()

That�s a good idea.
Thanks!
