net.sf.practicalxml.converter.internal.ConversionUtils

public class ConversionUtils
extends Object

Contains static utility methods and constants used by the conversion routines. These are way too specific to go into the top-level DomUtil, and are not generally useful to anyone who isn't writing a converter. But if you are writing a converter, you'll probably use them a lot ...

Note: where methods in this class reference a namespaced element or attribute (eg, xsi:type), they do not use a prefix unless explicitly noted. This prevents the possibility of collisions, where the same prefix is used elsewhere in the DOM for elements not managed by the converter. A serializer will pick an appropriate prefix for output.

                String value)

Sets an arbitrary attribute within the "conversion" namespace.

setXsiNil

public static void setXsiNil(Element elem,
             boolean isNil)

Sets the xsi:nil attribute to the passed value.

public static boolean getXsiNil(Element elem)

Returns the value of the xsi:nil attribute on the passed element, false if the attribute is not set.
