You could try this
Element parent = ...;
if ( parent.element( "foo" ) != null ) {
// has element called "foo"
}
if ( parent.attribute( "bar" ) != null ) {
// has attribute called "bar"
}
Or you can use a fully qualified name also.
QName foo = QName.get( "my:foo", "www.acme.com/something" );
if ( parent.element( foo") != null ) {
// has element with local name "foo" and the right namespace URI
}
QName bar = QName.get( "my:bar", "www.acme.com/something/else" );
if ( parent.attribute( bar ) != null ) {
// has attribute with local name "bar" and the right namespace URI
}
Note that when comparing QNames together, only the local name (the bit
without the namespace prefix) and the namespace URIs are compared.
