Query about jDOM.

[Chetan Parekh]

I am using jDOM to generate XML file. I have <TEXT> element in XMl file. Now when I don�t have any value for <TEXT>, the generated element contains <TEXT />. But instead of that I required <TEXT></TEXT>. How to achieve this?

the generated element contains <TEXT />. But instead of that I required <TEXT></TEXT>.

Either form is good legal XML for an empty element and will be handled propertly by XML parsers.

Why are you so sure that you require the second form?

My problem is that the program that generate is using parser, but program that read xml does not use the parser - it's other party who is reading it.
