Constructor Detail

AbstractCDATA

public AbstractCDATA()
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

toString

public String toString()

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 writer)
           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)
Description copied from interface: Node

accept is the method used in the Visitor Pattern.

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