Method Detail

toNcName

public static java.lang.String toNcName(java.lang.String localName,
                                        java.lang.String qName)

Returns a non-prefixed name given the localName and qName parameters which would normally be passed. This function is meant to iron out the craziness in the SAX2 API, which could work any of 4 different ways depending on how the parser is configured! Madness! What was the guy thinking?

toQName

public static java.lang.String toQName(java.lang.String prefix,
                                       java.lang.String localName)

isQName

public static boolean isQName(java.lang.String name)

getLocalName

public static java.lang.String getLocalName(java.lang.String qName)

Returns the non-qualified version of the argument

Returns:

the part of the qName which follows the prefix, but if the name is not qualified, returns the name itself.

getPrefix

public static java.lang.String getPrefix(java.lang.String qName)

Returns the prefix portion of the argument

Returns:

the part of the qName which denotes the prefix (without any delimeters); or "" if this is not a qualified name
