Constructor Detail

DTD

public DTD()
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.

Method Detail

getNodeType

public short getNodeType()
Gets a code representing the type of the underlying object
Specified by:
getNodeType in interface Node
Overrides:
getNodeType in class XMLNode
Returns:
type of the node

getNodeName

public java.lang.String getNodeName()
Gets the name of this node, depending on its type
Specified by:
getNodeName in interface Node
Overrides:
getNodeName in class XMLNode
Returns:
Name of this node

getName

public java.lang.String getName()
Gets the name of the DTD; i.e., the name immediately following the DOCTYPE keyword.
Specified by:
getName in interface DocumentType
Returns:
Name of the DTD

getEntities

public NamedNodeMap getEntities()
A NamedNodeMap containing the general entities, both external and internal, declared in the DTD. Duplicates are discarded. For example in:<!DOCTYPE ex SYSTEM "ex.dtd" [ <!ENTITY foo "foo"> <!ENTITY bar "bar"> <!ENTITY % baz "baz">]> <ex/> the interface provides access to foo and bar but not baz. Every node in this map also implements the Entity interface.
The DOM Level 1 does not support editing entities, therefore entities cannot be altered in any way.
Specified by:
getEntities in interface DocumentType
Returns:
The entities declared in the DTD

getNotations

public NamedNodeMap getNotations()
A NamedNodeMap containing the notations declared in the DTD. Duplicates are discarded. Every node in this map also implements the Notation interface.
The DOM Level 1 does not support editing notations, therefore notations cannot be altered in any way.
Specified by:
getNotations in interface DocumentType
Returns:
The notations declared in the DTD

getElementDecls

public NamedNodeMap getElementDecls()
A NamedNodeMap containing the element declarations in the DTD. Every node in this map is an ElementDecl object.
Returns:
The element declarations in the DTD
The DOM Level 1 does not support editing elementdecls, therefore elementdecls cannot be altered in any way.

hasChildNodes

public boolean hasChildNodes()
This is a convenience method to allow easy determination of whether a node has any children. return false always, as DTD cannot have any overrides method in XMLNode
Specified by:
hasChildNodes in interface Node
Overrides:
hasChildNodes in class XMLNode
Returns:
false as DTD node can not have any children,

getPublicId

public java.lang.String getPublicId()
Gets The public identifier associated with the DTD, if specified. If the public identifier was not specified, this is null.
Specified by:
getPublicId in interface DocumentType
Returns:
the public identifier associated with the DTD

getSystemId

public java.lang.String getSystemId()
Gets the system identifier associated with the DTD, if specified. If the system identifier was not specified, this is null.
Specified by:
getSystemId in interface DocumentType
Overrides:
getSystemId in class XMLNode
Returns:
the system identifier associated with the DTD

getInternalSubset

public java.lang.String getInternalSubset()
Gets the internal subset of the DTD
Specified by:
getInternalSubset in interface DocumentType
Returns:
the internal subset declarations as a string

getOwnerDocument

public Document getOwnerDocument()
Gets the Document object associated with this node. This is also the Document object used to create new nodes. When this node is a Document this is null.
Specified by:
getOwnerDocument in interface Node
Overrides:
getOwnerDocument in class XMLNode
Returns:
The document associated with this node

setRootTag

public void setRootTag(java.lang.String root)
Set the root tag for the DTD
Parameters:
root - the root tag

getRootTag

public java.lang.String getRootTag()
Get the root tag for the DTD
Returns:
root tag

Finds an element declaration for the given tag name.
Parameters:
name - The tag name.
Returns:
the element declaration object.

findNotation

public final Notation findNotation(java.lang.String name)
Retrieves the named notation from the DTD.
Parameters:
name - The name of the notation.
Returns:
the Notation object; returns null if it is not found.

convertDTD2Schema
