Constructor Detail

XMLEntity

public XMLEntity()
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

getNodeValue

public java.lang.String getNodeValue()
                              throws DOMException
Gets the value of this node, depending on its type
Specified by:
getNodeValue in interface Node
Overrides:
getNodeValue in class XMLNode
Returns:
Value of this node
Throws:
DOMException - NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised when the node is readonly. DOMSTRING_SIZE_ERR: Raised when it would return more characters than fit in a DOMString variable on the implementation platform.

getPublicId

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

getSystemId

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

getNotationName

public java.lang.String getNotationName()
For unparsed entities, gets the name of the notation for the entity. For parsed entities, this is null.
Specified by:
getNotationName in interface Entity
Returns:
The notation name

getParentNode

public Node getParentNode()
Gets the parent of this node. All nodes, except Document, DocumentFragment, and Attr may have a parent. However, if a node has just been created and not yet added to the tree, or if it has been removed from the tree, this is null.
Specified by:
getParentNode in interface Node
Overrides:
getParentNode in class XMLNode
Returns:
The parent of this node

getPreviousSibling

public Node getPreviousSibling()
Gets the node immediately preceding this node. If there is no such node, this returns null.
Specified by:
getPreviousSibling in interface Node
Overrides:
getPreviousSibling in class XMLNode
Returns:
the previous node

getNextSibling

public Node getNextSibling()
Gets The node immediately following this node. If there is no such node, this returns null.
Specified by:
getNextSibling in interface Node
Overrides:
getNextSibling in class XMLNode
Returns:
the next node

setNodeValue

public void setNodeValue(java.lang.String arg)
Sets the value of entity.
Specified by:
setNodeValue in interface Node
Overrides:
setNodeValue in class XMLNode
Parameters:
arg - The new value of the entity.

writeExternal

public void writeExternal(java.io.ObjectOutput outArg)
                   throws java.io.IOException
This method saves the state of the object by creating a binary compressed stream with information about this object.
Specified by:
writeExternal in interface java.io.Externalizable
Overrides:
writeExternal in class XMLNode
Parameters:
outArg - The ObjectOutput stream used to write the serialized/ compressed stream.
Throws:
java.io.IOException - is thrown when there is an exception while writing the serialized/compressed stream.

readExternal

public void readExternal(java.io.ObjectInput inArg)
                  throws java.io.IOException,
                         java.lang.ClassNotFoundException,
                         java.io.EOFException
This method reads the information written in the compressed stream by writeExternal method and restores the object correspondingly.
Specified by:
readExternal in interface java.io.Externalizable
Overrides:
readExternal in class XMLNode
Parameters:
inArg - the ObjectInput stream used for reading the compressed stream.
Throws:
java.io.IOException - is thrown when there is an error in reading the input stream.
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException - is thrown when the class is not found.
java.io.EOFException - is thrown when End of File is encountered.
