Using Java, could I append new record into a xml file?

The xml file example is in the following:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

<test>
    <emp>
        <id>1</id>
        <name>Terry</name>
        <position>Doctor</position>
    </emp>
    <emp>
        <id>2</id>
        <name>Kitty</name>
        <position>Nurse</position>
    </emp>
    <emp>
        <id>3</id>
        <name>Candy</name>
        <position>Nurse</position>
    </emp>
</test

Sure! See the W3C specs for DOM:
<http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/>
It's supported by any number of packages. I use Xerces (Apache) and
Oracle xdk.

Depending how you mean append. XML requires everything to be nested
within a root, so you could insert a new <emp> element inside of
<test>, but note that </test> has to be outside of it. So you can't
just append at the end of the file. There are many ways of writing out
a new bit of XML that has all of the elements that were there prior
and also has the new element, though.

I usually use JDOM to work with xml (http://www.jdom.org )
