Description

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

Method

voidsetElementAttr(Element element, String attr, String attrVal)
Set the value of attribute 
element.setAttribute(attr, attrVal);
voidsetElementContent(final Node n, final String s)
Replace the content for the current element. 
NodeList children = n.getChildNodes();
for (int i = 0; i < children.getLength(); i++) {
    Node curnode = children.item(i);
    n.removeChild(curnode);
Document d = n.getOwnerDocument();
final Node textNode = d.createTextNode(s);
n.appendChild(textNode);
...
voidsetElementSimpleValue(Element element, String simpleValue)
In WTP, element values are text nodes that are child of the element. 
Text textNode = element.getOwnerDocument().createTextNode(simpleValue);
NodeList children = element.getChildNodes();
for (int i = 0; i < children.getLength(); i++)
    element.removeChild(children.item(i));
element.appendChild(textNode);
voidsetElementsTextNodeValue(Node element, String value)
set Elements Text Node Value 
NodeList children = element.getChildNodes();
List<Node> childs_to_remove = new ArrayList<Node>();
for (int i = 0; i < children.getLength(); i++) {
    Node child = children.item(i);
    if (child != null && child.getNodeType() == Node.TEXT_NODE)
        childs_to_remove.add(child);
for (Iterator<Node> iter = childs_to_remove.iterator(); iter.hasNext();)
...
voidsetElementText(Element element, String text)
If the given Element has no text content, a new Text node added with the given text; otherwise, the first Text node will have its value changed to the given text. 
Node currentTextNode = null;
NodeList children = element.getChildNodes();
int length = children.getLength();
for (int n = 0; n < length && currentTextNode == null; ++n) {
    Node next = children.item(n);
    if (next.getNodeType() == Node.TEXT_NODE)
        currentTextNode = next;
if (currentTextNode == null) {
    Document doc = element.getOwnerDocument();
    currentTextNode = doc.createTextNode("");
    currentTextNode = element.appendChild(currentTextNode);
currentTextNode.setNodeValue(text);
voidsetElementText(Element element, String value)
Sets the text content of a DOM Element. 
NodeList children = element.getChildNodes();
int childCount = children.getLength();
for (int index = 0; index < childCount; ++index) {
    if (children.item(index) instanceof Text) {
        Text text = (Text) children.item(index);
        text.setData(value);
        return;
Text text = element.getOwnerDocument().createTextNode(value);
element.appendChild(text);
voidsetElementText(Element elm, String text)
set Element Text 
Node node = elm.getFirstChild();
if (node == null) {
    if (text != null)
        elm.appendChild(elm.getOwnerDocument().createTextNode(text));
} else if (node.getNodeType() == Node.TEXT_NODE) {
    if (text == null)
        node.getParentNode().removeChild(node);
    else
...
voidsetElementText(Element elm, String text)
set Element Text 
Node node = elm.getFirstChild();
if (node == null) {
    if (text != null)
        elm.appendChild(elm.getOwnerDocument().createTextNode(text));
} else if (node.getNodeType() == Node.TEXT_NODE) {
    if (text == null)
        node.getParentNode().removeChild(node);
    else
...
voidsetElementText(Element elm, String text)
set Element Text 
Node node = elm.getFirstChild();
if (node == null) {
    if (text != null) {
        elm.appendChild(elm.getOwnerDocument().createTextNode(text));
} else if (node.getNodeType() == Node.TEXT_NODE) {
    if (text == null) {
        node.getParentNode().removeChild(node);
...
booleansetElementText(Node elem, Object text)
Sets the text value of an Element. 
if (elem == null)
    return false; 
Node node = elem.getFirstChild();
while (node != null) { 
    if (node.getNodeType() == Node.TEXT_NODE)
        break; 
    node = node.getNextSibling();
if (node != null) { 
    if (text != null)
        node.setNodeValue(text.toString());
    else
        elem.removeChild(node);
} else if (text != null) { 
    elem.appendChild(elem.getOwnerDocument().createTextNode(text.toString()));
return true;
