<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  <dbvisualizer>   <databases>      <database id="1">        <alias>mymssqlserver</alias>        <url />        <driver>sql server (jtds)</driver>        <userid>db_monitor</userid>        <profile>auto</profile>        <type>sqlserver</type>        <password>abcdefghsifjsdsdkjsd</password>        <serverinfoformat>1</serverinfoformat>        <autodetecttype>true</autodetecttype>        <properties>          <property key="dbvis.connectionmodemigrated">true</property>        </properties>        <urlformat>0</urlformat>        <urlvariables>          <driver>            sql server (jtds)            <urlvariable urlvariablename="server">192.168.1.1</urlvariable>            <urlvariable urlvariablename="port">1433</urlvariable>            <urlvariable urlvariablename="database">abcdefg</urlvariable>          </driver>        </urlvariables>        <sshsettings>          <sshenabled>false</sshenabled>          <sshhost />          <sshport>22</sshport>          <sshuserid />          <sshpassword />          <sshprivatekeyfile />          <sshpassphrase />        </sshsettings>      </database>  </dbvisualizer>

and have provision process generated new server me sqlserver on , need add there properties xml file, need duplicate section of element "database" change few properties , push right after database element exist, created template section in external file changing ever need how can append entire section file, aware can 1 element @ time thats lot of element want push entire section after 1 have:

<database id="idnumber">        <alias>machiname</alias>        <url />        <driver>sql server (jtds)</driver>        <userid>db_monitor</userid>        <profile>auto</profile>        <type>sqlserver</type>        <password>abcdefghsifjsdsdkjsd==</password>        <serverinfoformat>1</serverinfoformat>        <autodetecttype>true</autodetecttype>        <properties>          <property key="dbvis.connectionmodemigrated">true</property>        </properties>        <urlformat>0</urlformat>        <urlvariables>          <driver>            sql server (jtds)            <urlvariable urlvariablename="server">machineip</urlvariable>            <urlvariable urlvariablename="port">1433</urlvariable>            <urlvariable urlvariablename="database">abcdefg</urlvariable>          </driver>        </urlvariables>        <sshsettings>          <sshenabled>false</sshenabled>          <sshhost />          <sshport>22</sshport>          <sshuserid />          <sshpassword />          <sshprivatekeyfile />          <sshpassphrase />        </sshsettings>      </database>

i assume have main xml document inside object mydocument instance of class org.w3c.dom.document , have current template instance inside object newdatabase instance of class org.w3c.dom.node.

now have retrieve <databases /> node mydocument , append newdatabase node it

nodelist nodes = mydocument.getelementsbytagname("databases"); nodes.item(0).appendchild(newdatabase); 

the appendchild() method adds node after last child node of specified element node.

-- edit: read template file , obtain node can do

fileinputstream fileinputstream = new fileinputstream(template_file_path); document document = documentbuilderfactory.newinstance().newdocumentbuilder().parse(fileinputstream); node newdatabase = document.getdocumentelement(); 

-- second edit: before appending newdatabase node mydocument must duplicate node , transfer ownership of node destination document line of code:

   node newnode = mydocument.importnode(newdatabase, true); 

then can append newnode mydocument using previous code.
