Class XMLUtil

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.extensions.surf.util.XMLUtil

public class XMLUtil
extends Object

A set of XML utility functions that make use of the Dom4j package. This class originally existed as a means of accomplishing much of what Dom4j now allows us to do. As such, the expectation is that it will be phased out over time.
