Java Utililty Methods XML DOM Parse

Document parse_XML_String_and_create_DOM(String xmlData)
Parses XML data stored in a String and generates a DOM (Document Object Model) document that contains XML data

DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder DOM_document_Builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
return DOM_document_Builder.parse(new ByteArrayInputStream(xmlData.getBytes()));

Document parseDom(InputStream byteArrayInputStream)
parse Dom

try {
 DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
 return builder.parse(new org.xml.sax.InputSource(byteArrayInputStream));
} catch (Exception e) {
 throw new RuntimeException("Could not parse DOM for '" + byteArrayInputStream.toString() + "'!", e);

Document parseDom(Reader reader)
Creates a DOM from a file representation of an xml record

try {
 DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
 return builder.parse(new org.xml.sax.InputSource(reader));
} catch (Exception e) {
 throw new RuntimeException("Could not parse DOM for '" + reader.toString() + "'!", e);

Document parseDOMConfigFile(String folderPath, String configFileName)
parse DOM Config File

File clientConfigFile = new File(folderPath, configFileName);
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
return builder.parse(clientConfigFile);

Document parseDomFromFile(File doc)
Creates a DOM from a file representation of an xml record

FileInputStream reader;
try {
 reader = new FileInputStream(doc);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
 throw new RuntimeException("Could not open file '" + doc.getName() + "'!", e);
return parseDom(reader);

void parseFileToXML(Transformer transformer, DOMSource source, File file)
Parse file to xml type

transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "UTF-8");
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(file);
StreamResult streamResult = new StreamResult(pw);
transformer.transform(source, streamResult);

Document parseToDOM(InputStream stream)
Parses an XML stream into a DOM document.

return getDOMDocBuilder().parse(stream);

Document parseToDom(String content)
parse To Dom

DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
factory.setNamespaceAware(false);
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
return builder.parse(new ByteArrayInputStream(content.getBytes()));

Document parseXMLToDOM(String xml_str)
Creates a Document object from initial XML given.

Document doc = null;
try {
 DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
 factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
 doc = factory.newDocumentBuilder().parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(xml_str)));
} catch (Exception e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
return doc;
