Method

StringgetAttribute(String aAttrName, Node aNode)
get Attribute 
return aNode.getAttributes().getNamedItem(aAttrName).getNodeValue();
StringgetAttribute(String attribute, Node node)
get Attribute 
if (node != null) {
    Node attr = node.getAttributes().getNamedItem(attribute);
    if (attr != null) {
        return attr.getNodeValue().trim();
return null;
StringgetAttribute(String attribute, Node node)
get Attribute 
Node attributeNode = node.getAttributes().getNamedItem(attribute);
if (attributeNode != null)
    return attributeNode.getNodeValue().trim();
return null;
StringgetAttribute(String attribute, Node node)
Convenience for accessing an attribute value (the Node interface is rather ugly) 
NamedNodeMap att = node.getAttributes();
Node w = att.getNamedItem(attribute);
if (w == null)
    return null;
return w.getTextContent();
StringgetAttribute(String key, NamedNodeMap map)
Gets the attribute as a string. 
Node attr = map.getNamedItem(key);
return attr != null ? attr.getTextContent() : "";
StringgetAttribute(String name, Element el)
Gets the value of the given DOM element's attribute with the specified name. 
if (name == null || el == null)
    return null;
if (!el.hasAttribute(name))
    return null;
return el.getAttribute(name);
StringgetAttribute(String name, Element element)
get Attribute 
return (element.hasAttribute(name) ? element.getAttribute(name) : null);
StringgetAttribute(String name, Element firstElement, Element secondElement)
Try to get an attribute value from two elements. 
String val = firstElement.getAttribute(name);
if (val.length() == 0 && secondElement != null) {
    val = secondElement.getAttribute(name);
return val;
StringgetAttribute(String name, Node node)
get Attribute 
if ((node != null) && (node.getAttributes() != null)) {
    Node namedItem = node.getAttributes().getNamedItem(name);
    if (namedItem != null) {
        return namedItem.getNodeValue();
return null;
booleangetAttributeAsBoolean(Element elem, String attribName)
Returns attribute as boolean for class 
String atribVal = elem.getAttribute(attribName);
boolean retVal = false;
try {
    retVal = Boolean.valueOf(atribVal).booleanValue();
} catch (Exception e) {
return retVal;
