Append Attribute to Elements (again)

["Becker, Matthias" <ma...@sap.com>]

Hi everyone,

one more Question about appending an Attribute to Each Element.

I want to append an Attribute to each Element in an Document.
The created Attributes are not appended to the DOM-Tree.

What is the mistake? A code-example would be great (because i'm a new to
Xerces an DOM-Parsers)

  Document xmldoc = parser.getDocument();
  NodeList Elements = xmldoc.getElementsByTagName("*");
  for (int i=0; i < Elements.getLength(); i++){
    String id = new String();
    id.valueOf(i);

    Attr n = xmldoc.createAttribute("id");
    n.setNodeValue(id);

    NamedNodeMap attributes = Elements.item(i).getAttributes();
    attributes.setNamedItem(n);
  }
