Method

StringgetAttributeValueOrNull(NamedNodeMap attributes, String attributeName)
Given a list of attributes (from an XML element) and the particular attribute we are concerned with, return it's value. 
String returnValue = null;
Node namedItem = attributes.getNamedItem(attributeName);
if (namedItem != null) {
    returnValue = namedItem.getNodeValue();
return returnValue;
SetgetAttributeValuePair(Node node)
Method to get Values within AttributeValuePair as a java.util.Set 
if (!node.getNodeName().equals(ATTR_VALUE_PAIR_NODE))
    return (null);
Set retVal = new HashSet();
NodeList children = node.getChildNodes();
for (int i = 0; i < children.getLength(); i++) {
    Node n = children.item(i);
    if (n.getNodeName().equalsIgnoreCase(VALUE_NODE)) {
        retVal.add(getValueOfValueNode(n));
...
String[]getAttributeValues(Element el)
Gets a list of all attribute values for the given DOM element. 
NamedNodeMap map = el.getAttributes();
int len = map.getLength();
String[] attrValues = new String[len];
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
    Attr attr = (Attr) map.item(i);
    attrValues[i] = attr == null ? null : attr.getValue();
return attrValues;
...
String[]getAttributeValues(Node node, String nodeName, String attrName)
Get an array of specific attributes for specific elements in a Node tree. 
if (node instanceof Document)
    node = ((Document) node).getDocumentElement();
if (!(node instanceof Element))
    return new String[0];
NodeList nodeList = ((Element) node).getElementsByTagName(nodeName);
ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
for (int i = 0; i < nodeList.getLength(); i++) {
    Attr attr = ((Element) nodeList.item(i)).getAttributeNode(attrName);
...
StringgetAttributeWithInheritance(Element element, String attributeName)
Returns an attribute value from this node, or first parent node with this attribute defined 
String result = element.getAttribute(attributeName);
if ((result == null) || ("".equals(result))) {
    Node n = element.getParentNode();
    if ((n == element) || (n == null)) {
        return null;
    if (n instanceof Element) {
        Element parent = (Element) n;
...
ObjectgetAttributName(Node node)
get Attribut Name 
return node.getAttributes().getNamedItem(ATTRIBUT_NAME_ATTRIBUT).getNodeValue();
StringgetAttributValue(Node n, String name)
get Attribut Value 
if (n == null)
    return null;
NamedNodeMap att = n.getAttributes();
if (att == null)
    return null;
Node n2 = att.getNamedItem(name);
if (n2 == null)
    return null;
...
intgetAttrInt(Element root, String attrName)
Get the value of the specified attribute as an integer. 
if (root.hasAttribute(attrName))
    return Integer.valueOf(root.getAttribute(attrName)).intValue();
return 0;
MapgetAttrList(Node node)
get Attr List 
Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
NamedNodeMap list = node.getAttributes();
if (list != null)
    for (int i = 0; i < list.getLength(); i++) {
        Attr attr = (Attr) list.item(i);
        map.put(attr.getName(), attr.getValue());
return map;
...
QNamegetAttrName(String prefix, String name)
get Attr Name 
if (prefix == null || "".equals(prefix)) {
    return new QName(name);
} else {
    return new QName(prefix + Character.toUpperCase(name.charAt(0)) + name.substring(1));
