dom4j : Replacing element

Question

I have the following XML :

<root>
<para>My paragraph with my <photo>MyPhoto</photo>
</para>
</root>

and I want to replace an element <photo>MyPhoto</photo> by this <name>MyName</name>

I use dom4j in my project :

List myPhotoToRemove = doc.selectNodes("//photo");
for(Object o : myPhotoToRemove){
    o = DocumentHelper.createElement("name");
    ((Element)o).setText("MyName"); 
}

It creates an element <name> without parent

Hello, provide some code of what you tried if you expect some help — Gaël J, Oct 27 '15 at 08:21

Try following

List<Node> myPhotoToRemove = doc.selectNodes("//photo");
for(Node node : myPhotoToRemove){
    node.setName("name");
    node.setText("MyName"); 
}
