Method

ListgetNodes(String tagName, NodeList nodes)
get Nodes 
List<Node> nodeList = new ArrayList<Node>();
for (int x = 0; x < nodes.getLength(); x++) {
    Node node = nodes.item(x);
    if (node.getNodeName().equalsIgnoreCase(tagName)) {
        nodeList.add(node);
return nodeList;
...
ArrayListgetNodesByName(String name, NodeList nodeList)
Gets all nodes with a specific name 
ArrayList<Node> nodes = new ArrayList<Node>();
for (int i = 0; i < nodeList.getLength(); i++) {
    if (nodeList.item(i).getNodeName().equals(name)) {
        nodes.add(nodeList.item(i));
return nodes;
ListgetNodesOfType(NodeList list, short type)
get Nodes Of Type 
List<T> retVal = new ArrayList<T>(list.getLength());
for (int i = 0; i < list.getLength(); ++i) {
    Node n = list.item(i);
    if (n.getNodeType() == type) {
        retVal.add((T) n);
return retVal;
...
StringgetNodeTrimValue(NodeList nodeList)
Helper class to help parse the server response. 
Element element = (Element) nodeList.item(0);
String nodeValue = "";
if (element != null) {
    NodeList itemNodeList = element.getChildNodes();
    int length = itemNodeList.getLength();
    for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
        Node node = ((Node) itemNodeList.item(i));
        if (node != null)
...
StringgetNodeValue(NodeList nodes)
get Node Value 
Node node = nodes.item(0);
String value = null;
if (nodes.getLength() > 0) {
    NodeList children = node.getChildNodes();
    int length = children.getLength();
    if (length == 1) {
        Node textNode = children.item(0);

...
StringgetNodeValue(NodeList nodes, String tagName)
get Node Value 
for (int x = 0; x < nodes.getLength(); x++) {

...
intgetOccurs(String nodeName, NodeList nodes)
Returns the occurrences of a given node (specified by its name) in a given list of nodes. 
int occurs = 0;
int childNr = 0;
boolean foundFirstOccurence = false;
while (childNr < nodes.getLength()) {
    Node node = nodes.item(childNr);

            occurs++;
...
StringgetTableIDOfTableAlias(String tableAlias, NodeList referList1, NodeList referList2)
get Table ID Of Table Alias 
String tableID = tableAlias;
org.w3c.dom.Element workElement;
for (int j = 0; j < referList1.getLength(); j++) {
    workElement = (org.w3c.dom.Element) referList1.item(j);
    if (workElement.getAttribute("TableAlias").equals(tableAlias)
            || (workElement.getAttribute("ToTable").equals(tableAlias)
                    && workElement.getAttribute("TableAlias").equals(""))) {
        tableID = workElement.getAttribute("ToTable");
...
StringgetText(NodeList elem)
get Text 
if (elem.getLength() > 0 && elem.item(0).getFirstChild() != null)
    return elem.item(0).getFirstChild().getTextContent();
return "";
