右键执行以上代码，会在F盘下生成一个a.xml文件

如下图:

2.新建一个类，用于解析和修改刚才生成的xml文件。

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.List;
import org.dom4j.Document;
import org.dom4j.DocumentException;
import org.dom4j.Element;
import org.dom4j.io.OutputFormat;
import org.dom4j.io.SAXReader;
import org.dom4j.io.XMLWriter;
public class CatchXml {
    public CatchXml(){
    }
    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public void changeXml(File inputxml){
        try {
            SAXReader reader = new SAXReader();
            Document doc = reader.read(inputxml);
            List list = doc.selectNodes("//category");
            Iterator iter = list.iterator();
            while(iter.hasNext()){
                Element element = (Element)iter.next();
                element.addComment("it is a comment for liuyimx!");
                Iterator iterator = element.elementIterator("id");
                while(iterator.hasNext()){
                    Element IdElement = (Element)iterator.next();
                    if(IdElement.getText().equals("1")){
                        IdElement.setText("liuyi");
                    }
                    if(IdElement.attribute("name").getValue().equals("id")){
                        IdElement.attribute("name").setValue("001");
                    }
                }
            }
            OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat("  ",true);
            format.setEncoding("UTF-8");
            XMLWriter writer = new XMLWriter(new FileWriter(inputxml));
            writer.write(doc);
            writer.close();
        } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        catch (DocumentException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
    public static void main(String args[]){
        File file = new File("f:\\a.xml");
        CatchXml cx = new CatchXml();
        cx.changeXml(file);
    }
}

右键执行，修改后a.xml如下：

依赖jar包:

dom4j-1.6.1.jar

jaxen-1.1.1.jar
