Adding child nodes to xml reccursively using java

Soumik

Hi,

I am having input XML as below:

<company name = "Company Name">
     <departments>
          <department id = "1" name = "Department 1 Name" childs = "true" />
         <department id = "2" name = "Department 2 Name" childs = "false" />
         <department id = "3" name = "Department 3 Name" childs = "true" />
     </departments>
</company>

And a Map containing the key as id of each department. Eg:

Key = "1"

Value =

<departments>
     <department id = "4" name = "Department 4 Name" childs = "yes" />
      <department id = "6" name = "Department 6 Name" childs = "yes" />
</departments>

Key = "4"

Value =

<departments>
     <department id = "5" name = "Department 5 Name" childs = "no" /> 
</departments>

Key = "6"

Value =

<departments>
    <department id = "7" name = "Department 7 Name" childs = "yes" />
    <department id = "14" name = "Department 14 Name" childs = "false" />
    <department id = "9" name = "Department 9 Name" childs = "true" />
</departments>

Key = "7"

Value =

<departments>
    <department id = "8" name = "Department 8 Name" childs = "yes" />
    <department id = "10" name = "Department 10 Name" childs = "no" />
</departments>

And so on

i.e. a List containing all the department id and corresponding sub departments

Expected Response is:

<company name = "Company Name">
    <departments>
        <department id = "1" name = "Department 1 Name" childs = "yes" >
            <departments>
                <department id = "4" name = "Department 4 Name" childs = "yes" >
                    <departments>
                        <department id = "5" name = "Department 5 Name" childs = "no" />
                    </departments>
                </department>
                <department id = "6" name = "Department 6 Name" childs = "yes" >
                    <departments>
                        <department id = "7" name = "Department 7 Name" childs = "yes" >
                            <departments>
                                <department id = "8" name = "Department 8 Name" childs = "yes" >
                                    <departments>
                                        <department id="12" name="Department 12 Name" childs="no"/>
                                        <department id="13" name="Department 13 Name" childs="no"/>
                                    </departments>
                                </department>
                                <department id = "10" name = "Department 10 Name" childs = "no" />
                            </departments>
                        </department>
                        <department id = "14" name = "Department 14 Name" childs = "false" />
                        <department id = "9" name = "Department 9 Name" childs = "true" >
                            <departments>
                                <department id = "15" name = "Department 15 Name" childs = "false" />
                            </departments>
                        </department>
                    </departments>
                </department>
            </departments>
        </department>
        <department id = "2" name = "Department 2 Name" childs = "false" />
        <department id = "3" name = "Department 3 Name" childs = "true" >
            <departments>
                <department id = "11" name = "Department 11 Name" childs = "false" />
            </departments>
        </department>
    </departments>
</company>

Can someone please help in achieving the same using java

Below is the java code used:

public static Node getReferences(Map<String, Node> resources, String key) {
Node result = null;
try {
          XPath xPath = XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath();
          XPathExpression xPathExpression = xPath.compile("//department[@childs='yes']");
          Node n1 = resources.get(key);
          if (n1.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE &&
                n1.getNodeName().equalsIgnoreCase("departments")) {
               NodeList nL1 = (NodeList)xPathExpression.evaluate(n1, XPathConstants.NODESET);
               if (nL1.getLength() > 0) {
                    for (int i = 0; i < nL1.getLength(); i++) {
                         Node n2 = nL1.item(i);
                         Document document1 = n2.getOwnerDocument();
                        Element e1 = (Element)n2;
                         if (e1.getAttribute("childs").equalsIgnoreCase("yes")) {
                              String serviceName = e1.getAttribute("id");
                              Node n3 = resources.get(serviceName);
                            Node n4 = getReferences(resources, serviceName);
                              n3 = document1.importNode(n3, true);
                              Node appendChild = n2.appendChild(n3);
                         }
                    }
               } else {
                    result = n1;
               }
          }
} catch (XPathExpressionException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
     } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
     }
return result;
}
