Field Detail

encoding

protected String encoding
The encoding of this document as stated in the XML declaration

Constructor Detail

AbstractDocument

public AbstractDocument()
Method Detail

getNodeType

public short getNodeType()
Description copied from interface: Node
Returns the code according to the type of node. This makes processing nodes polymorphically much easier as the switch statement can be used instead of multiple if (instanceof) statements.

Specified by:
getNodeType in interface Node
Overrides:
getNodeType in class AbstractNode

getPath

public String getPath(Element context)
Description copied from interface: Node
Returns the relative XPath expression which will return a node set containing the given node such as a/b/@c. No indexing will be used to restrict the path if multiple elements with the same name occur on the path.

Specified by:
getPath in interface Node
Parameters:
context - is the parent context from which the relative path should start. If the context is null or the context is not an ancestor of this node then the path will be absolute and start from the document and so begin with the '/' character.
Returns:
the XPath expression relative to the given context which will return a nodeset containing at least this node.

getUniquePath

public String getUniquePath(Element context)
Description copied from interface: Node

Returns the relative unique XPath expression from the given context which will return a nodeset of one node which is the current node. This method will use the XPath index operator to restrict the path if multiple elements with the same name occur on the path.

Specified by:
getUniquePath in interface Node
Parameters:
context - is the parent context from which the path should start. If the context is null or the context is not an ancestor of this node then the path will start from the document and so begin with the '/' character.
Returns:
the XPath expression relative to the given context which will return a nodeset containing just this node.

getDocument

public Document getDocument()
Description copied from interface: Node

getDocument returns the Document that this Node is part of if this node supports the parent relationship.

This method is an optional feature and may not be supported for all Node implementations.

Specified by:
getDocument in interface Node
Overrides:
getDocument in class AbstractNode

getXMLEncoding

public String getXMLEncoding()
Description copied from interface: Document
Return the encoding of this document, as part of the XML declaration This is null when unspecified or when it is not known (such as when the Document was created in memory) or when the implementation does not support this operation.

The way this encoding is retrieved also depends on the way the XML source is parsed. For instance, if the SAXReader is used and if the underlying XMLReader implementation support the org.xml.sax.ext.Locator2 interface, the result returned by this method is specified by the getEncoding() method of that interface.

Specified by:
getXMLEncoding in interface Document
Returns:
The encoding of this document, as stated in the XML declaration, or null if unknown.

getStringValue

public String getStringValue()
Description copied from interface: Node
Returns the XPath string-value of this node. The behaviour of this method is defined in the XPath specification .

Specified by:
getStringValue in interface Node
Overrides:
getStringValue in class AbstractNode

asXML

public String asXML()
Description copied from interface: Node

asXML returns the textual XML representation of this node.

Specified by:
asXML in interface Node
Returns:
the XML representation of this node

write

public void write(Writer out)
           throws IOException
Description copied from interface: Node

write writes this node as the default XML notation for this node. If you wish to control the XML output (such as for pretty printing, changing the indentation policy etc.) then please use XMLWriter or its derivations.

Specified by:
write in interface Node
Overrides:
write in class AbstractNode
Throws:
IOException

accept

public void accept(Visitor visitor)

accept method is the Visitor Pattern method.

Specified by:
accept in interface Node
Parameters:
visitor - Visitor is the visitor.

toString

public String toString()

normalize

public void normalize()
Description copied from interface: Branch
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 Branch

addComment

public Document addComment(String comment)
Description copied from interface: Document
Adds a new Comment node with the given text to this branch.

Specified by:
addComment in interface Document
Parameters:
comment - is the text for the Comment node.
Returns:
this Document instance.

addProcessingInstruction

public Document addProcessingInstruction(String target,
                                         String data)
Description copied from interface: Document
Adds a processing instruction for the given target

Specified by:
addProcessingInstruction in interface Document
Parameters:
target - is the target of the processing instruction
data - is the textual data (key/value pairs) of the processing instruction
Returns:
this Document instance.

addProcessingInstruction

public Document addProcessingInstruction(String target,
                                         Map data)
Description copied from interface: Document
Adds a processing instruction for the given target

Specified by:
addProcessingInstruction in interface Document
Parameters:
target - is the target of the processing instruction
data - is a Map of the key / value pairs of the processing instruction
Returns:
this Document instance.

asXPathResult

public Node asXPathResult(Element parent)
Description copied from interface: Node

rootElementAdded

protected abstract void rootElementAdded(Element rootElement)
