Replace XML Node with Array of Nodes using java

Question

How can I replace a Node with Array of Nodes?

I tried:

specialNode.getParentNode().replaceChild(newNode[i], specialNode);

For example:
Input: PathToXMLFile and SpecialKeys[] = {"value-2","value-3","value-4"}

<root>
    <childOne>
        <otherNode />
        <otherNode />
        <specialNode key="value-1">
        </specialNode>
        <otherNode />
    </childOne>
    <childTwo>
    </childTwo>
</root>

Required output:

<root>
    <childOne>
        <otherNode />
        <otherNode />
        <specialNode key="value-2">
        </specialNode>
        <specialNode key="value-3">
        </specialNode>
        <specialNode key="value-4">
        </specialNode>
        <otherNode />
     </childOne>
     <childTwo>
     </childTwo>
</root>

Note: I need to maintain order of nodes.

In this case you have to do either

insert new nodes at and delete old node (or)
replace the parent itself, ie. construct ChildOne with new content of children nodes and replace
