Re: [xml-dev] Global or shared namespace?

["Rob Decker" <rdecker@quarterleaf.com>]

How about:

if
(StuffIDoAllTheTime.compareIfSomething(e1.getNamespace(),e2.getNamespace()))

static boolean compareIfSomething(Object o1, Object o2)
{
    return (something(o1) && something(o2)) ? o1.equals(o2) : false;
}

static boolean something(Object o)
{
    if (o1 == null)
        return false;
    if (o1 instanceof Boolean)
        return ((Boolean)o1).booleanValue();
    if (o1.toString().trim().length())
        return false;
}
