Append data to already existing Sitemap.xml file

Question

I have created sitemap using the com.redfin.sitemapgenerator jar, now I want to add nodes i.e the urls in the urlset at run time, I have checked that the sitemap already exists or not but now I am unable to append to the already existing sitemap.xml file.`public String searchforques() throws IllegalArgumentException { // TODO Auto-generated method stub System.out.println("calledd");

     WebSitemapGenerator sitemapGenerator = null;
     WebSitemapUrl sitemapUrl = null;
     File file=new File("C:\\sitemap\\sitemap.xml");
    try {
        if(!file.exists())
        {
        sitemapGenerator = WebSitemapGenerator
            .builder("http://www.testing.com", new File("C:\\sitemap"))
            .gzip(false).build();

        /*------------------------------------------*/
        try {
            sitemapUrl = new WebSitemapUrl.Options(
                "http://www.testing.com/#!dashboard1")
                .lastMod(new Date()).priority(1.0)
                .changeFreq(ChangeFreq.HOURLY).build();
            System.out.println("-----------");
            System.out.println("sitemapUrl :: "+sitemapUrl.getUrl());

             sitemapGenerator.addUrl(sitemapUrl);
        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        /****************/

        }
        else
        {
            System.out.println("file already exist");


            sitemapGenerator = WebSitemapGenerator
            .builder("http://www.testing.com", file)
            .gzip(false).build();

             try {
                    sitemapGenerator
                        .addUrl("http://www.testing.com/#!ques");

                } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
                System.out.println("sitemapGenerator :: "+sitemapGenerator);
        }


    } catch (MalformedURLException e1) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e1.printStackTrace();
    }

     sitemapGenerator.write();

    // this will configure the URL with lastmod=now, priority=1.0,
    // changefreq=hourly

    // You can add any number of urls here



    return "";
}

But my else part is not working it directly goes to server fail.

I am working on java with gwt. So, any one could help to add dynamically the nodes(urls) in the urlset at runtime.
