Description

The list of methods to do XML Element Set are organized into topic(s).

Method

voidsetTextContent(Element element, String content)
set Text Content 
Document document = element.getOwnerDocument();
element.appendChild(document.createTextNode(content));
voidsetTextContent(Element element, String text)
Removes any existing child content and inserts a text node with the given text 
Node child;
while ((child = element.getFirstChild()) != null) {
    element.removeChild(child);
if (text != null && text.length() > 0) {
    Text textNode = element.getOwnerDocument().createTextNode(text);
    element.appendChild(textNode);
voidsetTextContent(Element node, String text)
This method is useful when DOM Level 3 "setTextContent" is not implemented 
final NodeList children = node.getChildNodes();
for (int i = (children.getLength() - 1); i > -1; i--) {
    node.removeChild(children.item(i));
node.appendChild(node.getOwnerDocument().createTextNode(text));
voidsetTextContent(Element node, String text)
set Text Content 
final NodeList children = node.getChildNodes();
for (int i = (children.getLength() - 1); i > -1; i--) {
    node.removeChild(children.item(i));
node.appendChild(node.getOwnerDocument().createTextNode(text));
TextsetTextField(Element node, String subElement, String text)
set Text Field 
NodeList nl = node.getElementsByTagName(subElement);
if (nl == null || nl.getLength() == 0) {
    if (text == null)
        return null;
    Document d = node.getOwnerDocument();
    Element e = d.createElement(subElement);
    Text ans = d.createTextNode(text);
    e.appendChild(ans);
...
voidsetTextValue(Element element, String text)
Replace the first text element of the given element with a new text element containing the given text or just create a new text element if there is none to replace. 
Node newTextNode = element.getOwnerDocument().createTextNode(text);
NodeList childs = element.getChildNodes();
for (int i = 0; i < childs.getLength(); i++) {
    Node node = childs.item(i);
    if (Node.TEXT_NODE == node.getNodeType()) {
        element.replaceChild(newTextNode, node);
        return;
element.appendChild(newTextNode);
voidsetTextValue(Element element, String value)
set Text Value 
removeAllChildNodes(element);
if (value != null) {
    Node text = element.getOwnerDocument().createTextNode(value);
    element.appendChild(text);
voidsetToElements(Element rootElem, String name, Set s)
set To Elements 
iteratorToElements(rootElem, name, s.iterator());
voidsetValue(Element element, String value)
Set value to the specified element 
removeAllChilds(element);
addValue(element, value);
