public class XmlHelper
extends Object

A set of static methods for performing various operations on DOM Documents and XML text (in the form of streams, Strings, and files). The operations include creating DOM Documents (dom4j) transforming DOM Documents creating XML from Objects, Lists and Maps creating Lists or Maps from XML getting an XML node's text

getEncoding

public static String getEncoding(File f)
                          throws IOException

Throws:

IOException

getEncoding

public static String getEncoding(InputStream inStream)
                          throws IOException

Throws:

IOException

getEncoding

public static String getEncoding(String xml)

Find the character encoding specification in the xml String. If it exists, return the character encoding. Otherwise, return null.

Parameters:

xml - String containing the xml

Returns:

String containing the character encoding in the xml processing instruction if it exists, else null.

getEncoding

public static String getEncoding(String xml,
                                 String defaultEncoding)

Find the character encoding specification in the xml String. If it exists, return the character encoding. Otherwise, return the system encoding.

Parameters:

xml - String containing the xml

defaultEncoding - Encoding to use if there is no encoding in the xml document

Returns:

String containing the character encoding in the xml processing instruction, or defaultEncoding if there is no encoding in the xml document. If defaultEncoding is also null, then it returns the value in LocaleHelper.getSystemEncoding(). if it exists, else the system encoding.

readEncodingProcessingInstruction

public static String readEncodingProcessingInstruction(InputStream inStream)
                                                throws IOException

WARNING: if the inStream instance does not support mark/reset, when this method returns, subsequent reads on inStream will be 256 bytes into the stream. This may not be the expected behavior. FileInputStreams are an example of an InputStream that does not support mark/reset. InputStreams that do support mark/reset will be reset to the beginning of the stream when this method returns.

Parameters:

inStream -

Returns:

Throws:

IOException

transformXml

public static final StringBuffer transformXml(String xslName,
                                              String xslPath,
