Method Detail

getRequiredElement

public static final Element getRequiredElement(Element e,
                                               java.lang.String elemnm)
                                        throws IllegalSyntaxException

Returns the required element.

Parameters:

elemnm - the element name

IllegalSyntaxException

getRequiredElementValue

public static final java.lang.String getRequiredElementValue(Element e,
                                                             java.lang.String elemnm)
                                                      throws IllegalSyntaxException

Returns the required element value.

Note: the returned value may be an empty string (if the element contains no text at all).

Throws:

IllegalSyntaxException - if the element is not found

getRequiredAttributeValue

public static final java.lang.String getRequiredAttributeValue(Element e,
                                                               java.lang.String attrnm)

Returns the required attribute value.

Throws:

IllegalSyntaxException - if the element is not found

getFirstElement

public static final Element getFirstElement(Group group)

Returns the first child element, or null if no child element at all.

findElement

public static final Element findElement(java.util.List elems,
                                        java.lang.String name)

Returns the first element whose sub-element called "name" has the same content as the name argument, or null if not found.

Parameters:

elems - a list of elements to look for the specified name

parseParams

public static final java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> parseParams(Element elm,
                                                                                 java.lang.String type,

Parses a tree of parameter elements into a map.

The tree of parameter elements is as follows.

 <type>
   <name>any</name>
   <vaue>any</vaue>
 </type>

Returns:

the map after parsed (never null). An empty map is returned if no parameter is defined. The map is in the same order of the element tree.

format

public static void format(Element e)

Formats the specified element for better readability by adding white spaces.

toContents

public static final java.lang.Object toContents(java.lang.Object obj)

Converts elements to their contents if the giving object is an element or an array or a collection of elements. One item of an collection might be another collection or array.

setContents

public static final void setContents(java.util.Collection<Element> elems,
                                     java.lang.Object val)

Set the contents of elements. The val argument could be an array and a collection, and each item will be assigned to each of the list one-by-one.

Unlike toContents(java.lang.Object), it handles only a collection of elements -- all items must be elements.

Parameters:

elems - the collection of elements

val - the value which could be an object, an array or a collection

toString

public static final java.lang.String toString(Document doc)
                                       throws javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException,

Throws:

javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException

javax.xml.transform.TransformerException

dumpTree

public static final void dumpTree(Group group)

Print a readable tree of the specified group to System.out. It is for debug purpose and the generated format is not XML. To generate XML, uses Transformer or toString(org.zkoss.idom.Document).

toString(org.zkoss.idom.Document)

dumpTree

public static final void dumpTree(java.io.PrintStream s,
                                  Group group)

Print a readable tree of the specified group to the specified stream. It is for debug purpose and the generated format is not XML. To generate XML, uses Transformer or toString(org.zkoss.idom.Document).

dumpTree

public static final void dumpTree(java.io.PrintWriter s,
                                  Group group)

Print a readable tree of the specified group to the specified writer. It is for debug purpose and the generated format is not XML. To generate XML, uses Transformer or toString(org.zkoss.idom.Document).

toString(org.zkoss.idom.Document)

checkVersion

public static boolean checkVersion(Document doc,
                                   java.net.URL url)
                            throws java.lang.Exception
