Re: [dom4j-user] byte [] Node.valueOf()

[David D. Lucas]

Most likely you need to take that up with Sun.  String.getBytes() is the 
real issue.  And the XPath under the covers for valueOf() returns a 
String.  For any String with a large amount of data, this is the case.

To try and do anything with the bytes without converting it to the 
appropriate code page may make matters worse.  I would suggest looking 
for other areas to optimize.  Maybe perform your own xpath query instead 
of using the Node.valueOf and "cache" the xpath for future use.  That 
could cut down on startup overhead each time valueOf is called.

Later,

Hi;
 

Is there a way to get the result of a Node.valueOf() as an array of 
bytes? I know I can convert a String to a byte[] but for a large amount 
of data this is a giant hit.

 

Thanks – dave
