public abstract class XMLNode

extends java.lang.Object

implements Node, XMLConstants, EventTarget, java.lang.Cloneable, java.io.Externalizable, CXMLConstants

Implements the DOM Node interface and serves as the primary datatype for the entire Document Object Model. It represents a single node in the document tree.

The attributes nodeName, nodeValue and attributes are included as a mechanism to get at node information without casting down to the specific derived instance. In cases where there is no obvious mapping of these attributes for a specific nodeType (e.g., nodeValue for an Element or attributes for a Comment), this returns null. Note that the derived classes may contain additional and more convenient mechanisms to get and set the relevant information. This DOM Nodes extending XMLNode instead of XMLNSNode have fixed Nodename defined by DOM specification. Also only node that cannot have child nodes extend this class.

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.

Returns:

non-marked-up text contained bu this element

normalize

public void normalize()

Description copied from interface: Node

Puts all Text nodes in the full depth of the sub-tree underneath this Node, including attribute nodes, into a "normal" form where only structure (e.g., elements, comments, processing instructions, CDATA sections, and entity references) separates Text nodes, i.e., there are neither adjacent Text nodes nor empty 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 document tree structure are to be used.In cases where the document contains CDATASections, the normalize operation alone may not be sufficient, since XPointers do not differentiate between Text nodes and CDATASection nodes.

Specified by:

normalize in interface Node

Since:

DOM 2 Puts all Text nodes in the full depth of the sub-tree underneath this Node, including attribute nodes, into "normal" form where only structure (e.g., elements, comments, processing instructions, CDATA sections, and entity references) separates Text nodes,i.e., there are neither adjacent Text nodes nor empty 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 particulardocument tree structure are to be used.

supports

public boolean supports(java.lang.String feature,
                        java.lang.String version)

Deprecated. Use isSupported instead

Parameters:

String - feature ,String version

Returns:

true,if the feature is supported else false

Since:

DOM 2 Tests whether the DOM implementation implements a specific feature and that feature is supported by this node.

isSupported

public boolean isSupported(java.lang.String feature,
                           java.lang.String version)

Description copied from interface: Node

Tests whether the DOM implementation implements a specific feature and that feature is supported by this node.

Specified by:

isSupported in interface Node

Parameters:

String - feature ,String version

Returns:

true,if the feature is supported else false

Since:

DOM 2 Tests whether the DOM implementation implements a specific feature and that feature is supported by this node.

getNamespace

public java.lang.String getNamespace()

Since:

DOM 2 gets the namespace URI of this node. overrided by node types for which namespace is meaningful.

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.

Specified by:

getNamespaceURI in interface Node

getNodePrefix

public java.lang.String getNodePrefix()

Since:

DOM 2 gets the prefix of this node overrided by node types for which namespace is meaningful.

getPrefix

public java.lang.String getPrefix()

Description copied from interface: Node

The namespace prefix of this node, or null if it is unspecified.
Note that setting this attribute, when permitted, changes the nodeName attribute, which holds the qualified name, as well as the tagName and name attributes of the Element and Attr interfaces, when applicable.
Note also that changing the prefix of an attribute that is known to have a default value, does not make a new attribute with the default value and the original prefix appear, since the namespaceURI and localName do not change.
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.

Specified by:

getPrefix in interface Node

Tags copied from interface: Node

Throws:

DOMException - INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: Raised if the specified prefix contains an illegal character.
NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly.
NAMESPACE_ERR: Raised if the specified prefix is malformed, if the namespaceURI of this node is null, if the specified prefix is "xml" and the namespaceURI of this node is different from " http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace", if this node is an attribute and the specified prefix is "xmlns" and the namespaceURI of this node is different from " http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/", or if this node is an attribute and the qualifiedName of this node is "xmlns" .

setPrefix

public void setPrefix(java.lang.String prefix)
               throws DOMException

Specified by:

setPrefix in interface Node

Since:

DOM 2 sets the prefix of this node overrided by node types for which namespace is meaningful.

getNodeLocalName

public java.lang.String getNodeLocalName()

Since:

DOM 2 gets the Local Name of this node overrided by node types for which namespace is meaningful.

getLocalName

public java.lang.String getLocalName()

Description copied from interface: Node

Returns the local part of the qualified name of this node.
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.

Specified by:

getLocalName in interface Node

hasAttributes

public boolean hasAttributes()

Returns whether this node (if it is an element) has any attributes.

Specified by:

hasAttributes in interface Node

Returns:

true if this node has any attributes, false otherwise.

Since:

DOM Level 2

addEventListener

public void addEventListener(java.lang.String type,
                             EventListener listener,
                             boolean useCapture)

DOMEvents

Specified by:

addEventListener in interface EventTarget

Tags copied from interface: EventTarget

Parameters:

typeThe - event type for which the user is registering

listenerThe - listener parameter takes an interface implemented by the user which contains the methods to be called when the event occurs.

useCaptureIf - true, useCapture indicates that the user wishes to initiate capture. After initiating capture, all events of the specified type will be dispatched to the registered EventListener before being dispatched to any EventTargets beneath them in the tree. Events which are bubbling upward through the tree will not trigger an EventListener designated to use capture.

removeEventListener

public void removeEventListener(java.lang.String type,
                                EventListener listener,
                                boolean useCapture)

Description copied from interface: EventTarget

This method allows the removal of event listeners from the event target. If an EventListener is removed from an EventTarget while it is processing an event, it will not be triggered by the current actions. EventListeners can never be invoked after being removed.
Calling removeEventListener with arguments which do not identify any currently registered EventListener on the EventTarget has no effect.

Specified by:

removeEventListener in interface EventTarget

Tags copied from interface: EventTarget

Parameters:

typeSpecifies - the event type of the EventListener being removed.

listenerThe - EventListener parameter indicates the EventListener to be removed.

useCaptureSpecifies - whether the EventListener being removed was registered as a capturing listener or not. If a listener was registered twice, one with capture and one without, each must be removed separately. Removal of a capturing listener does not affect a non-capturing version of the same listener, and vice versa.

dispatchEvent

public boolean dispatchEvent(Event evt)
                      throws DOMException

This method allows the dispatch of events into the implementations event model

Specified by:

dispatchEvent in interface EventTarget

Returns:

boolean value that indicates whether preventDefault or stopPropogation was called

isNodeFlag

public boolean isNodeFlag(int flag)

setNodeFlag

public void setNodeFlag(int flag)

resetNodeFlag

public void resetNodeFlag(int flag)
