You need to be careful with braces because it's a formatted value so they need to be escaped like this: [\[] for left brace and [\]] for right brace (I think that's the syntax).

Any ideas why this happens? How can I update the value attribute of the 2nd add element in the group. I don't want to create a new element, because all the elements already exist along with all of their attributes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
