Duplicating a Subtree
This Example shows you how to duplicate a Subtree in a DOM
document. Here we
use JAXP (Java APIs for XML Processing) which provides interface for creating
and using xml files using the standard DOM. These are some of the methods used
in code given below for duplicating a subtree :-
Element orig = (Element) root.getFirstChild():- Allows direct access to the
child of the root.
Element New = (Element) orig.cloneNode(true):- This serves as a generic copy
constructor for nodes. It Creates a new Element node and stores the copy of the
first child of the root in this node.
root.appendChild(New):- It adds the node (New) to the end of the list of
children of this node.
Xml code for the program generated is:-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Company>
<Employee>
<name It="Gi">Girish
</name>
</Employee>
<Employee>
<name It="Ko">Komal
</name>
</Employee>
<Employee>
<name It="Mahe">Mahendra
</name>
</Employee>
</Company>

Output of the program:-
