[jdom-interest] a question about node type

[Grzegorz Kaczor]

Hello,

JDOM is a very convenient interface to manipulate XML elements but I 
think it lacks one useful functionality that is present in W3C DOM 
implementation - a node type distinction available from Content class.

Let's say I want to perform something for each node (and for each type 
of node a different activity) - for example I want to replace all 
lowercase 'a' letters to uppercase ones - in element text content, in 
attribute values, in CDATA sections and so on (this is an exemplary 
action). Do I have to use reflection for that?

In W3C DOM I can use getNodeType() to distinguish node types and perform 
the replace recursively. How can I do the same using JDOM and not using 
'instanceof'?

Best Regards,
Grzegorz
