How do I add an attribute to a node in Java?

In order to assign an attribute value that contains entity references, the user must create an Attr node plus any Text and EntityReference nodes, build the appropriate subtree, and use setAttributeNode to assign it as the value of an attribute.

What are the attributes of node?

Node attributes are a special type of option (name-value pair) that applies to a node object. Beyond the basic definition of a node, the administrator can describe the node's attributes, such as how much RAM, disk, what OS or kernel version it has, perhaps even its physical location.


I am trying to add an attribute to the node if the child node value is equal to some string.

I have a main.xml file

<Employees>    
 <Employee>     
 <countryid>32</countryid>
 <id name="id">1</id>
 <firstname >ABC</firstname>
 <lastname >XYZ</lastname>     
 </Employee>
 <Employee>     
 <countryid>100</countryid>
 <id name="id">2</id>
 <firstname >ddd</firstname>
 <lastname >ggg</lastname>     
 </Employee>
 </Employees>    

So let's say if the country id is equal to 32 then it should add attribute country=32 to Employee node. The output should be like below :

output.xml

 <Employees>    
 <Employee countryid="32">     
 <countryid>32</countryid>
 <id name="id">1</id>
 <firstname >ABC</firstname>
 <lastname >XYZ</lastname>     
 </Employee>
 <Employee>     
 <countryid>100</countryid>
 <id name="id">2</id>
 <firstname >ddd</firstname>
 <lastname >ggg</lastname>     
 </Employee>
 </Employees>    

I am using the following script but getting error that An attribute node cannot be create after the children of containing element.:

Transform.xsl


<xsl:template match="/">        
    <xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Employees/Employee/countryid[.=32']">
  <xsl:attribute name="countryid">32</xsl:attribute>
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Any help will be appreciated. Also can we pass countryid as comma seprated values so that i can pass 32,100 and then it should add attribute to all the matching nodes.

Thanks.
