Is there a way to make Element.addContent add the content at a
specific location?

I need to update an existing jdom object in memory, by adding/removing
some elements. problem is, addContent() always add at the end, and as
a result the resulting XML object doesn't validate against the XSD
file.

Is there a way to add an element at a specific location?

Thanks.

Raymond

I use Element.insertBefore( Node newChild, Node refChild );

No, not AFAIK.

Yes. You can use Element.getContent() to get the content as a List, then use
List.add(int, Object) to insert the new content wherever you see fit.

Caution -- You can add any object to the content this way, only some of
which are valid in JDOM.
