Re: How to insert after using XmlCursor?

You need to go to the END of the parent cursor or to the nextToken of 
the END of the lastChild, then do the insert.

         XmlObject test1 = 
XmlObject.Factory.parse("<parent><child>first</child></parent>");
         XmlCursor testcurs = test1.newCursor();
         if (testcurs.isStartdoc()){
             testcurs.toNextToken();
         }
         boolean res = testcurs.toLastChild();
         XmlCursor.TokenType tt = testcurs.toEndToken(); //this goes to 
END tag of the last child element
         tt = testcurs.toNextToken(); //we are now at the END tag of parent
         testcurs.insertElementWithText("child","second");

or this
         XmlObject test1 = 
XmlObject.Factory.parse("<parent><child>first</child></parent>");
         XmlCursor testcurs = test1.newCursor();
         if (testcurs.isStartdoc()){
             testcurs.toNextToken(); //now at parent element
         }
         XmlCursor.TokenType tt = testcurs.toEndToken(); //END tag of 
parent element
         testcurs.insertElementWithText("child","second");
