Description
The following code shows how to search element by name using DOM.
Example
import java.io.StringReader;
import java.io.StringWriter;
/* w w w.j av a 2 s . c o m*/
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.Element;
import org.w3c.dom.NodeList;
import org.w3c.dom.Text;
import org.xml.sax.InputSource;
public class Main {
static public void main(String[] arg) throws Exception {
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
dbf.setValidating(true);

dbf.setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace(true);
DocumentBuilder builder = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
Document document = builder.parse(new InputSource("yourfile.xml"));
newEmail(document, "newName", "java2s.com");
TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer trans = tf.newTransformer();
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
trans.transform(new DOMSource(document), new StreamResult(sw));
System.out.println(sw.toString());
}
public static void newEmail(Document doc,String newname,String newemail) {
Element root = doc.getDocumentElement();
NodeList rootlist = root.getChildNodes();
for(int i=0; i<rootlist.getLength(); i++) {
Element person = (Element)rootlist.item(i);
NodeList personlist = person.getChildNodes();
Element name = (Element)personlist.item(0);
NodeList namelist = name.getChildNodes();
Text nametext = (Text)namelist.item(0);

}
}
