getElementData

public static String getElementData(Node parentElement,
                                    String childName)
                             throws TransformerException

Get the CDATA of a particular element. For example, if the XML document contains:

<foo><mimetype>application/pdf</mimetype></foo> passing this the foo node and mimetype will return application/pdf.

Why this isn't a core part of the XML API I do not know...

childName - the name of the element you want the CDATA from

Returns:

the CDATA as a String
