XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Peter Stibrany <pstibrany AT gmail.com>]

Hello,

you can simply take first Element out of returned nodes (make sure
there is one), and add your nodes to this first node.

I.e.

Nodes nodes = 
doc.query("//con:testCase[@id='2ad7f0bc-efa0-4e79-8068-eee7a0fed9a1']",context);
if (nodes.size() != 1) {
    throw new IllegalStateException("Expected only one node for xpath...");
}

if (!nodes.get(0) instanceof Element) {
    throw new IllegalStateException("Expected element to be returned
by xpath...");
}

Element node = (Element) nodes.get(0);
node.appendChild(... your node ...);

Regards,
-Peter Stibrany
