Method

voidsetAttribute(Node node, String attr, String value)
Sets a named attribute of a Node 
if (node == null)
    throw new IllegalArgumentException("Node argument cannot be null");
if (attr == null)
    throw new IllegalArgumentException("Node attribute argument cannot be null");
if (value == null)
    throw new IllegalArgumentException("Node attribute value argument cannot be null");
Node attrN = null;
NamedNodeMap map = node.getAttributes();
...
voidsetAttribute(Node node, String key, String value)
set Attribute 
Node attributeNode = node.getOwnerDocument().createAttribute(key);
attributeNode.setNodeValue(value);
node.getAttributes().setNamedItem(attributeNode);
booleansetAttribute(Node pNode, String attrName)
set Attribute 
NamedNodeMap name = pNode.getAttributes();
if (name.getLength() > 0) {
    Node thenode = name.getNamedItem(attrName);
    if (thenode != null) {
        thenode.setNodeValue(attrName);
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
...
voidsetAttribute(String name, String value, Element el)
Sets the value of the given DOM element's attribute with the specified name to the given value. 
if (name == null || value == null || el == null)
    return;
char[] v = value.toCharArray();
int count = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < v.length; i++) {
    if (!Character.isISOControl(v[i]))
        count++;
if (count < v.length) {
    char[] nv = new char[count];
    count = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < v.length; i++) {
        if (!Character.isISOControl(v[i]))
            nv[count++] = v[i];
    value = new String(nv);
el.setAttribute(name, value);
voidsetAttributeNS(Element node, String namespaceURI, String prefix, String nodeName, String value)
Adds the named attribute with the given namespace URI and value to the given element node. 
String fullName = (prefix == null) ? nodeName : prefix + ":" + nodeName;
node.setAttributeNS(namespaceURI, fullName, value);
if (printXMLNamespaces) {
    String attrName = (prefix == null) ? "xmlns" : "xmlns:" + prefix;
    node.setAttribute(attrName, namespaceURI);
voidsetAttributeValue(Element element, String attribute, String value)
Set an attribute and his value to the specified node 
element.setAttribute(attribute, value);
booleansetAttributeValue(final Element target, final String attributeName, final String value)
set Attribute Value 
final NamedNodeMap map = target.getAttributes();
final Node attributeValueHolder = map.getNamedItem(attributeName);
if (attributeValueHolder != null) {
    attributeValueHolder.setNodeValue(value);
    return true;
return false;
voidsetAttributeValue(Node node, String attName, String attValue)
set Attribute Value 
Node attr = node.getAttributes().getNamedItem(attName);
attr.setNodeValue(attValue);
voidsetAttributeValue(Node node, String attribute, String value)
set Attribute Value 
NamedNodeMap attributes = node.getAttributes();
if (attributes != null) {
    Node nameAttr = attributes.getNamedItem(attribute);
    if (nameAttr != null) {
        nameAttr.setNodeValue(value);
voidsetAttributeValue(Node sNode, String attribName, String val)
Utility method to set the attribute value on the given element node 
Node attr = sNode.getAttributes().getNamedItem(attribName);
if (attr != null) {
    attr.setNodeValue(val);
} else {
    attr = sNode.getOwnerDocument().createAttribute(attribName);
    attr.setNodeValue(val);
    sNode.getAttributes().setNamedItem(attr);
