                                                              java.lang.String xmlDocumentUrl)

moneyToXmlDouble

public static java.lang.String moneyToXmlDouble(Money money)

xmlDoubleToMoney

public static Money xmlDoubleToMoney(java.lang.String xmlDouble)
                              throws java.lang.NumberFormatException

Throws:

doubleToXmlDouble

public static java.lang.String doubleToXmlDouble(double value,
                                                 int factionalDigits)

Convert a double value to String conforming to the double datatype of the XML specification. (This means mainly, that we have to use the swiss "." also if the PC's locale is set to germany or austria.)

Parameters:

value - the value to be converted

factionalDigits - the number of digits after the point

Returns:

the formated String

XMLTableToCSVTable

public static java.lang.String XMLTableToCSVTable(Element table,
                                                  java.lang.String separator)

Convert a XML-Table formatted like <table> <row> <col1>Col 1<col1/> <col2>Col 2<col2/> </row> <row> ... </row> </table> to a csv table

Parameters:

table - the table to convert

separator - String that separates columns

Returns:

a string containing the csv table. Rows separated by \n, colums separated by separator

XMLTableToHTMLTable

public static java.lang.String XMLTableToHTMLTable(Element table)

Convert a XML-Table formatted like <table> <row> <col1>Col 1<col1/> <col2>Col 2<col2/> </row> <row> ... </row> </table> to a html table

Parameters:

table - the table to convert

Returns:

a string containing the html table.

idToXMLID

public static java.lang.String idToXMLID(java.lang.String id)

Conversion betweeen Elexis id's and XML ID types. XML id types must not begin with a number but may contain letters and numbers. Elexis ID's are always hexadecimal strings thus will never contain a letter other than a-f but might start with a number. Thus if it starts with a number, we prefix an "x"

Parameters:

id - an elexis id

Returns:

a String conforming to tghe XML ID type

xmlIDtoID

public static java.lang.String xmlIDtoID(java.lang.String xmlid)

Since elexis id's never contain the letter "x" we can be sure that a starting letter x can be removed to leave us with the original elexis id

Parameters:

xmlid - an XML ID

Returns:

the conforming elexis id

dateTimeToXmlDateTime
