Thanks for the quick reply, thats what a couple of tutorials seemed to suggest but I was surprised there wasn't a better method. &nbsp;I will sit out a little longer for anyone else, but if not will give you the points.

I am able to parse an xml file, and retrieve data element by element for the program to use, but is it possible using SAX to write back to the xml file?<br />
<br />
What I would like to be able to do is add elements to it, or edit attribute values of the elements currently there. &nbsp;A few tutorials I have read say edit it as a text file, but I'm hoping there is a way with a SAX parser to just insert new elements, and it'll do the rest. &nbsp;I am using the SAXParserFactory. &nbsp;Can anyone give me a rough outline of whether its possible?

Using SAX to edit an xml file

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
