  GENERATING ADDITIONAL COMMENTS TO THE INSTANCE DOCUMENT:

  
  Additional comments can be added by the following method.

  XBRLProcessor xbrlProc = ...;
  ...
  List commentList = new ArrayList();
  commentList.add("1st comment");
  commentList.add("2nd comment");
  xbrlProc.setProperty(XBRLProperties.COMMENTS, commentList);

  
  REMOVING EXISTING COMMENTS

  
  There are no methods to remove existing comments, but the comments can be removed by the following procedure.

  1. Output the instance document as DOM.

  DOMResult result = new DOMResult();
  xbrlProc.saveInstance(instance, result);

  2. Remove the existing comments from the DOM.

  org.w3c.dom.Document doc = (org.w3c.dom.Document)result.getNode();
  ... Remove comment nodes ...

  3. Save the DOM to the file

  javax.xml.transform.Transformer transformer = ...;
  transformer.transform(new DOMSource(doc), new StreamResult("instance.xbrl"));
