Constructor Detail

XMLElement

public XMLElement()

Deprecated. use createElement(String) method of XMLDocument

Default constructor. Note that this constructor is used only during deserialization/decompression of this DOM node. In order to deserialize this node to construct the DOM node from the serialized/ compressed stream, it is required to create a handle of the object. For all normal XMLElement creation use createElement(String) of XMLDocument.

XMLElement

public XMLElement(java.lang.String tag)

Deprecated. use createElement(String) method of XMLDocument

Creates an element with the given name

Parameters:

tag - Name of the element

XMLElement

public XMLElement(java.lang.String name,
                  java.lang.String prefix,
                  java.lang.String namespace)

Deprecated. use createElementNS(String, String) method of XMLDocument

Creates an element with the given name, prefix, and namespace

Parameters:

name - Local name of the element

prefix - Prefix of the element

public XMLElement(java.lang.String name,
                  java.lang.String prefix,
                  java.lang.String qname,
                  java.lang.String namespace)

Private constructor doesn't intern names Creates an element with the given name, prefix, and namespace

Parameters:

name - Local name of the element

prefix - Prefix of the element

qname - Qname of the element

Method Detail

getTagName

public java.lang.String getTagName()

Gets the name of the element. For example, in: <elementExample id="demo"> ... </elementExample> , tagName has the value "elementExample". Note that this is case-preserving in XML, as are all of the operations of the DOM. The HTML DOM returns the tagName of an HTML element in the canonical uppercase form, regardless of the case in the source HTML document.

Specified by:

getTagName in interface Element

Returns:

The element name

getQualifiedName

public java.lang.String getQualifiedName()

Get the qualified name for this element.

Returns:

the qualified name

getNamespace

public java.lang.String getNamespace()

Deprecated. As of DOM 2

Overrides:

getNamespace in class XMLNode

Returns:

the resolved Namespace

See Also:

Get the resolved Namespace for this element.

getNamespaceURI

public java.lang.String getNamespaceURI()

Description copied from interface: Node

The namespace URI of this node, or null if it is unspecified.
This is not a computed value that is the result of a namespace lookup based on an examination of the namespace declarations in scope. It is merely the namespace URI given at creation time.
For nodes of any type other than ELEMENT_NODE and ATTRIBUTE_NODE and nodes created with a DOM Level 1 method, such as createElement from the Document interface, this is always null.Per the Namespaces in XML Specification an attribute does not inherit its namespace from the element it is attached to. If an attribute is not explicitly given a namespace, it simply has no namespace.

Overrides:

getNamespaceURI in class XMLNSNode

Returns:

the namespace URI of this element

Since:

DOM 2 Gets the name space URI of this element

getLocalName

public java.lang.String getLocalName()

Gets the local Name for this element.

Overrides:

getLocalName in class XMLNSNode

Returns:

the local Name

getPrefix

public java.lang.String getPrefix()

Get the namespace prefix for this element.

Overrides:

getPrefix in class XMLNSNode

Returns:

the namespace prefix

getExpandedName

public java.lang.String getExpandedName()

Get the fully resolved name for this element.

Returns:

the fully resolved name

getNodeType

public short getNodeType()

Gets a code representing the type of the underlying object

Overrides:

getNodeType in class XMLNode

Returns:

type of the node

getAttribute

public java.lang.String getAttribute(java.lang.String name)

Retrieves an attribute value by name.

Specified by:

getAttribute in interface Element

Parameters:

name - The name of the attribute to retrieve.

Returns:

The Attr value as a string, or the empty string if that attribute does not have a specified or default value.

setAttribute

public void setAttribute(java.lang.String name,
                         java.lang.String value)
                  throws DOMException

Adds a new attribute. If an attribute with that name is already present in the element, its value is changed to be that of the value parameter. This value is a simple string, it is not parsed as it is being set. So any markup (such as syntax to be recognized as an entity reference) is treated as literal text, and needs to be appropriately escaped by the implementation when it is written out. In order to assign an attribute value that contains entity references, the user must create an Attr node plus any Text and EntityReference nodes, build the appropriate subtree, and use setAttributeNode to assign it as the value of an attribute. This method is namespace unaware and hence wont result in update of namespace table if a new attr is added thru this method

Specified by:

setAttribute in interface Element

Parameters:

name - The name of the attribute to create or alter.

value - Value to set in string form.

Throws:

DOMException - INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: Raised if the specified name contains an invalid character.
NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly.

Specified by:

removeAttribute in interface Element

Parameters:

name - The name of the attribute to remove.

Throws:

DOMException - NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly.

getAttributeNode

public Attr getAttributeNode(java.lang.String name)

Retrieves an Attr node by name.

Specified by:

getAttributeNode in interface Element

Parameters:

name - The name of the attribute to retrieve.

Returns:

The Attr node with the specified attribute name or null if there is no such attribute.

Returns:

If the newAttr attribute replaces an existing attribute with the same name, the previously existing Attr node is returned, otherwise null is returned.

Throws:

DOMException - WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: Raised if newAttr was created from a different document than the one that created the element.
NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly.
INUSE_ATTRIBUTE_ERR: Raised if newAttr is already an attribute of another Element object. The DOM user must explicitly clone Attr nodes to re-use them in other elements.

normalize

public void normalize()

Deprecated. As of DOM 2

Puts all Text nodes in the full depth of the sub-tree underneath this Element into a "normal" form where only markup (e.g., tags, comments, processing instructions, CDATA sections, and entity references) separates Text nodes, i.e., there are no adjacent Text nodes. This can be used to ensure that the DOM view of a document is the same as if it were saved and re-loaded, and is useful when operations (such as XPointer lookups) that depend on a particular doc1ument tree structure are to be used.

Overrides:

normalize in class XMLNSNode

See Also:

XMLNode.normalize()

getAttributes

public NamedNodeMap getAttributes()

A NamedNodeMap containing the attributes of this node (if it is an Element) or null otherwise.

Overrides:

getAttributes in class XMLNode

Returns:

cloneNode

public Node cloneNode(boolean deep)

Returns a duplicate of this node, i.e., serves as a generic copy constructor for nodes. The duplicate node has no parent ( parentNode returns null.).
Cloning an Element copies all attributes and their values, including those generated by the XML processor to represent defaulted attributes, but this method does not copy any text it contains unless it is a deep clone, since the text is contained in a child Text node. Cloning any other type of node simply returns a copy of this node.

Overrides:

cloneNode in class XMLNode

Parameters:

deep - If true, recursively clone the subtree under the specified node; if false, clone only the node itself (and its attributes, if it is an Element).

Returns:

The duplicate node.

Validates the content of the element against given XML Schema param schema - schema used to validate

Returns:

True if valid, else false

validateContent

public boolean validateContent(XMLSchema schema,
                               java.lang.String mode)

                           java.lang.String qualifiedName,
                           java.lang.String value)
                    throws DOMException

Description copied from interface: Element

Adds a new attribute. If an attribute with the same local name and namespace URI is already present on the element, its prefix is changed to be the prefix part of the qualifiedName, and its value is changed to be the value parameter. This value is a simple string; it is not parsed as it is being set. So any markup (such as syntax to be recognized as an entity reference) is treated as literal text, and needs to be appropriately escaped by the implementation when it is written out. In order to assign an attribute value that contains entity references, the user must create an Attr node plus any Text and EntityReference nodes, build the appropriate subtree, and use setAttributeNodeNS or setAttributeNode to assign it as the value of an attribute.
HTML-only DOM implementations do not need to implement this method.

Specified by:

setAttributeNS in interface Element

Parameters:

String - namespaceURI ,String localName of the attribute to be retrieved

Throws:

DOMException - INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: Raised if the specified qualified name contains illegal Characters NAMESPACE_ERR : Raised if the qualified name is malformed ,if the qualified name has a prefix and the namespace URI is null or an empty string,or if the qulaifiedName is "xmlns" and namespace URI is different from "http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/" ,or if qualifiedName has a prefix that is "xml" and the namespaceURI is different from http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespaces NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly

Since:

DOM 2 Adds a new attribute. If an attribute with the same local name and namespace URI is already present on the element, its prefix is changed to be the prefix part of the qualifiedName, and its value is changed to be the value parameter. This value is a simple string; it is not parsed as it is being set.
