Java: Changing an xml node name without using renameNode()

Question

Hi,

I've been renaming xml nodes using the document.renameNode() method:

 Document document = loadXml(xml);

 NodeList list = document.getElementsByTagName("Entry1");
 for (int i=0; i < list.getLength();)
 {
    document.renameNode(list.item(i), "", "Entry");
 }

However, the Java version I'm deploying to (1.5.0_09-b03) doesn't support the renameNode method. Any ideas how I could write the above in a way that's compatible with this version of Java?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Hmm... the Java 1.5 API doc says renameNode() is supported. Are you sure you don't have access to that method? Are you using org.w3c.dom classes?

Answer 2

As mentioned in my comment I was able to do a replaceAll on the string replacing "Entry1" with "Entry" and then loading that as xml.

Thanks.
