AddAttributeList.java


package roseindia;



import java.io.File;

import java.util.ArrayList;

import org.jdom.input.DOMBuilder;

import org.jdom.Attribute;

import org.jdom.Document;

import org.jdom.Element;

import org.jdom.output.XMLOutputter;



public class AddAttributeList {

  public static void main(String[] args) {

    DOMBuilder docbuilder = new DOMBuilder();

    File file = new File("book.xml");

    try {

      Document doc = docbuilder.build(file);

      Element rootElement = doc.getRootElement();

      Attribute id = new Attribute("id", "22");

      Attribute auther = new Attribute("Auther", "xyz");

      Attribute type = new Attribute("type", "program");

      ArrayList a = new ArrayList();

      a.add(id);

      a.add(auther);

      a.add(type);

      rootElement.getChild("book").setAttributes(a);

      XMLOutputter output = new XMLOutputter();

	System.out.println("After adding attribute list in xml file.");

      output.output(doc, System.out);

    } catch (Exception e) {

      e.printStackTrace();

    }

  }

}

Output:

After adding attribute list in xml file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<BookCatalog>
   <book id="22" Auther="xyz" type="program">
                  <name>Java</name>
                   <year>2000</year>
         < /book>
          <book>
                 <name>c</name>
               <year>1986</year>
