Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
static Node[]	filterByAttribute(Node[] primaryNodes, String attributeName) given an array of nodes, returns a subarray containing only those nodes having a non-null specified attribute
static int	findNode(Node[] arrNodes, Node testNode, String attributeName, boolean sortArray) tries to find a test Node within an array of nodes The array is assumed sorted according to a custom comparator by single attribute, but if can be optionally sorted inside the method
static void	mergeNodeLists(Node targetNode, NodeList list1, NodeList list2, String attributeName) creates a sorted list of nodes, with the merged nodes of 2 NodeLists The comparison criteria is a single-attribute comparator, whose attribute name is also given as a parameter The original NodeLists are not modified.

Method Detail

filterByAttribute

public static Node[] filterByAttribute(Node[] primaryNodes,
                       String attributeName)

given an array of nodes, returns a subarray containing only those nodes having a non-null specified attribute

Parameters:

primaryNodes - the original array of nodes. All nodes are assumed to at least have attributes

attributeName - the attribute name

Returns:

findNode

public static int findNode(Node[] arrNodes,
           Node testNode,
           String attributeName,
           boolean sortArray)

tries to find a test Node within an array of nodes The array is assumed sorted according to a custom comparator by single attribute, but if can be optionally sorted inside the method

Parameters:

arrNodes - the haystack

testNode - the needle

attribute - the attribute used for comparison

sortArray - true if the array needs to be sorted, false if it comes already sorted

Returns:

mergeNodeLists

public static void mergeNodeLists(Node targetNode,
                  NodeList list1,
                  NodeList list2,
                  String attributeName)

creates a sorted list of nodes, with the merged nodes of 2 NodeLists The comparison criteria is a single-attribute comparator, whose attribute name is also given as a parameter The original NodeLists are not modified. They can be null. They are not assumed to be sorted.

Parameters:

Node - the target node (assumed childless, and within the same document) to which the merged children will be appended

list1 - the original list to merge

list2 - the second list to merge which will overwrite values from list1

attribute -
