Method Detail

getRootElement

public Element getRootElement()

Returns the root Elementfor this document.

Returns:: the root element for this document

setRootElement

public void setRootElement(Element rootElement)

Sets the root element for this document

Parameters:: rootElement - the new root element for this document

addComment

public Document addComment(String comment)

Adds a new Comment node with the given text to this branch.

Parameters:: comment - is the text for the Comment node.
Returns:: this Document instance.

addProcessingInstruction

public Document addProcessingInstruction(String target,
                                         String text)

Adds a processing instruction for the given target

Parameters:: target - is the target of the processing instruction; text - is the textual data (key/value pairs) of the processing instruction
Returns:: this Document instance.

addProcessingInstruction

public Document addProcessingInstruction(String target,
                                         Map data)

Adds a processing instruction for the given target

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.

addDocType

public Document addDocType(String name,
                           String publicId,
                           String systemId)

Adds a DOCTYPE declaration to this document

Parameters:: name - is the name of the root element; publicId - is the PUBLIC URI; systemId - is the SYSTEM URI
Returns:: this Document instance.

getDocType

public DocumentType getDocType()

DOCUMENT ME!

Returns:: the DocumentType property

setDocType

public void setDocType(DocumentType docType)

Sets the DocumentType property

Parameters:: docType - DOCUMENT ME!

getEntityResolver

public EntityResolver getEntityResolver()

DOCUMENT ME!

Returns:: the EntityResolver used to find resolve URIs such as for DTDs, or XML Schema documents

setEntityResolver

public void setEntityResolver(EntityResolver entityResolver)

Sets the EntityResolver used to find resolve URIs such as for DTDs, or XML Schema documents

Parameters:: entityResolver - DOCUMENT ME!

getXMLEncoding

public String getXMLEncoding()

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.

Returns:: The encoding of this document, as stated in the XML declaration, or null if unknown.
Since:: 1.5

setXMLEncoding

public void setXMLEncoding(String encoding)

Sets the encoding of this document as it will appear in the XML declaration part of the document.

Parameters:: encoding - the encoding of the document
Since:: 1.6
