File Writing Issue - Only Writes First Line

[DragonGhola]

Hi everyone. I have a block of code which is attempting to change a file, then write that file to a new file. The issue is, it seems to be working but only prints the first line of the original file. Here's the code:

public static void writeXmlFile(Document doc, String filename, String pathName, ArrayList<String> bm) {
       

        try {

             Element docEle = dom.getDocumentElement();

        //get a nodelist of <employee> elements
        NodeList nl = docEle.getElementsByTagName("Object");

        if (nl != null && nl.getLength() > 0) {
            //System.out.println("Line 183");
            for (int i = 0; i < nl.getLength(); i++) {
                //get the employee element
                //System.out.println("Line 186");
                Element ele = (Element) nl.item(i);
                NodeList nl5 = nl.item(i).getChildNodes();

                for (int x = 0; x < nl5.getLength(); x++) {
                        if(!nl5.item(x).getNodeName().equals("#text")){
                        //System.out.println("YAY! GOT HERE!");
                        //System.out.println(ele.getAttributeNode("Name").getValue());
                        if (ele.getAttributeNode("Name") != null) {
                            //System.out.println("Line 200");
                            if (ele.getAttributeNode("Name").getValue().equals("PAGETYPE")) {
                                NodeList n12 = ele.getChildNodes();
                                for(int g = 0; g < n12.getLength(); g++)
                                {
                                    if(!n12.item(g).getNodeName().equals("#text"))
                                    {
                                    Element f4 = (Element )n12.item(g);
                                    if(f4.getAttributeNode("Content").getValue() != null)
                                    {
                                        if(!f4.getAttributeNode("PageNr").getValue().equals("0"))
                                        {
                                        int aInt = Integer.parseInt(f4.getAttributeNode("PageNr").getValue());

                                        f4.setNodeValue(bm.get(aInt-1));
                                        }
                                    }
                                    }
                                }
                            }
                            }
                    }
                }
            }
        }

            // Prepare the DOM document for writing
            Source source = new DOMSource(doc);
            System.out.println("PREPARED FOR WRITING");
            // Prepare the output file
            File file = new File(filename);
            if (!pathName.equals("")) {
                File newPath = new File(pathName);
                boolean success = file.renameTo(new File(newPath, file.getName()));
                if (!success) {
                    System.out.println("FAILED");
                }
            }
            Result result = new StreamResult(file);

            // Write the DOM document to the file
            System.out.println("SHOULD BE PRINTING!");
            Transformer xformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
            xformer.transform(source, result);
            System.out.println("SHOULD HAVE PRINTED!");
        } catch (TransformerConfigurationException e) {
            System.out.println("Transformer Configuaration Exception - ERROR");
        } catch (TransformerException e) {
            System.out.println("Transformer Exception - ERROR");
        }
    }

If anyone can help me, I'd be very appreciative :)

Can you show the contents of the file before and after the program is executed?
Also show what is printed out when the program executes.

only prints the first line of the original file

I don't see in your code where any lines are printed. Most of the printlns have been commented out.

Hi, thanks for the quick reply :) Sadly, due to circumstances beyond my control, I can't show any more of the code or document. Suffice to say, the source document is a few pages long at least. I'm sorry if I was ambiguous with my "print" statement, I meant that the xformer.transform() only moved the first line of the source document over to the result file. Thanks for any help :)

Without an example file and program this will be impossible to test. You'll need to wait until someone that has had your problem comes along.

Alrighty then. Thanks for trying :)
