Constructor Summary

XDBElement(XDB xdb, org.jdom.Element element)

Method Summary

XDBElement	first(java.lang.String xpath) Same as calling selectFirst(xpath) on the Element.
java.lang.String	get(java.lang.Object key) returns the Element.valueOf(key) where key gets turned into a String.
org.jdom.Element	getElement()
java.util.List	list(java.lang.String xpathExpression) Returns a List of XDBElement, rather than org.jdom.Element.
java.lang.String	output() Returns current node as XML, including the tag for the current node.
java.lang.String	outputContent() Returns all the child nodes as XML, excluding the tag for the current node.
java.util.List	select(java.lang.String xpathExpression) Returns a List of org.jdom.Element.
org.jdom.Element	selectFirst(java.lang.String xpathExpression)
java.lang.String	toString() This function does double-duty: with an Element, it returns getText(), which works with both the text of the node and with attribute values.
java.lang.String	valueOf(java.lang.String xpathExpression)
java.lang.String	valueOfAll(java.lang.String xpathExpression)
