Answer 1

Use Element.getAttribute and Element.setAttribute

In your example, ((Node) content.item(0)).getFirstChild().getAttributes(). Assuming that content is a typo, and you mean contento, getFirstChild is correctly returning NULL as contento has no children. Try: ((Node) contento.item(0)).getAttributes() instead.

Another issue is that by using getFirstChild and getChildNodes()[0] without checking the return value, you are running the risk of picking up child text nodes, instead of the element you want.
