          Enumeration e = request.getParameterNames();
          while(e.hasMoreElements()){
              String s = (String)e.nextElement();

      }

      XMLOutputter xmlOutputter = new XMLOutputter();
      xmlOutputter.output(doc, new FileWriter("E:/workbench j2ee/cPEP_UI/WebContent/config.xml"));
      %>



  </body>
</html>

** whats wrong with the code?! Its not showing any error, but not changing the element text either. Actually I am making an gui, and need to edit config.xml using textbox in jsp.

I am trying to edit existing xml file using jdom and then saving it. I am allowing users to edit it using html components like textbox etc. Please help me with this thanks. — Maverick

Closing the Filewriter using FileWriter.close() could help...

FileWriter fileWriter = new FileWriter("E:/workbench j2ee/cPEP_UI/WebContent/config.xml");
xmlOutputter.output(doc, fileWriter);
fileWriter.close();
