Method

voidsetText(Node node, String text)
Sets text for a node. 
NodeList children = node.getChildNodes();
int numChildren = children.getLength();
for (int i = 0; i < numChildren; i++) {
    Node child = children.item(i);
    if (child.getNodeType() == Node.TEXT_NODE) {
        child.setNodeValue(text);
        return;
Text child = node.getOwnerDocument().createTextNode(text);
node.appendChild(child);
voidsetText(Node node, String value)
Set the text of a specified node. 
if (node == null)
    return;
Node child = findChild(node, "#text");
if (child == null)
    node.appendChild(node.getOwnerDocument().createTextNode(value));
else
    child.setNodeValue(value);
TextsetTextContent(Node namespaceNode, String textContent)
set Text Content 
Text retval = null;
if (namespaceNode instanceof Text) {
    namespaceNode.setNodeValue(textContent);
    retval = (Text) namespaceNode;
} else if (namespaceNode instanceof Element) {
    Element namespaceElement = (Element) namespaceNode;
    removeChildren(namespaceElement);
    retval = namespaceElement.getOwnerDocument().createTextNode(textContent);
...
voidsetTextContent(Node node, final String text)
based on public Java5 javadoc of org.w3c.dom.Node.setTextContent method 
while (node.hasChildNodes()) {
    node.removeChild(node.getFirstChild());
if (text != null && text.length() > 0) {
    Node textNode = node.getOwnerDocument().createTextNode(text);
    node.appendChild(textNode);
voidsetTextValue(Node aNode, String aValue)
set Text Value 
Document wDocument = aNode.getOwnerDocument();
Text wText = wDocument.createTextNode(aValue);
aNode.appendChild(wText);
voidsetTextValue(Node node, String newValue)
set the text node from an element node. 
NodeList list = node.getChildNodes();
for (int i = 0; i < list.getLength(); i++) {
    if (list.item(i).getNodeType() == Node.TEXT_NODE) {
        list.item(i).setNodeValue(newValue);
voidsetTextValue(Node node, String value)
Set the text associated with a node. 
if (node != null) {
    if (node.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {
        for (Node child = node.getFirstChild(); child != null; child = child.getNextSibling()) {
            if (child.getNodeType() == Node.TEXT_NODE) {
                ((Text) child).setNodeValue(value);
                return;
            if (child.getNodeType() == Node.CDATA_SECTION_NODE) {
...
voidsetValueOfNode(Node node, String value)
Set the value of the DOM node. 
if (node.getNodeType() == Node.ATTRIBUTE_NODE) {
    node.setNodeValue(value);
} else {
    while (node.hasChildNodes() == true) {
        node.removeChild(node.getFirstChild());
    node.appendChild(node.getOwnerDocument().createTextNode(value));
StringxmlGetFirstTextValue(Node node)
Metode til at læse værdien af den første child tekst node i en DOM Node. 
String theValue = "";
NodeList theNodeList = node.getChildNodes();
if (theNodeList != null) {
    for (int i = 0; i < theNodeList.getLength(); i++) {
        Node textNode = theNodeList.item(i);
        if (textNode != null) {
            theValue = textNode.getNodeValue();
            if (theValue == null) {
...
StringxmlGetText(Node node)
Returns the text of the node. 
NodeList kids = node.getChildNodes();
for (int i = 0; i < kids.getLength(); i++) {
    Node kid = kids.item(i);
    if (kid.getNodeName().equals("#text"))
        return kid.getNodeValue();
    else if (kid.getNodeName().equals("#cdata-section"))
        return kid.getNodeValue();
return null;
