Method

SetgetNodeNames(Set nodes)
get Node Names 
Set<String> names = new HashSet<String>();
for (Node node : nodes) {
    names.add(node.getLocalName());
return names;
StringgetNodeNameWithNamespace(Node node)
get Node Name With Namespace 
String name = node.getNodeName();
String ns = node.getNamespaceURI();
String prefix = (ns != null) ? node.lookupPrefix(ns) : null;
if ((prefix != null) && !name.startsWith(prefix + ":")) {
    name = prefix + ":" + name;
return name;
VectorgetNodes(Node iNode, String iNodeName)
This method returns an ordered list containing the desired nodes which is determined by the provided node name and namespace.

ArrayListgetNodes(Node module, String interfaceName, String nodeName)
Gets all nodes of a module that are child of a given interface and have a specific name 
Node iFace = getInterfaceNodeByName(interfaceName, module);
