Class XMLNode

java.lang.Object
  extended byoracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLNode

All Implemented Interfaces:
java.lang.Cloneable, EventTarget, java.io.Externalizable, Node, NodeEditVAL, java.io.Serializable
Direct Known Subclasses:
AttrDecl, oracle.xml.parser.v2.CharData, DTD, ElementDecl, XMLNotation, XMLNSNode

public abstract class XMLNode
extends java.lang.Object
implements Node, EventTarget, NodeEditVAL, java.lang.Cloneable, java.io.Externalizable

Implements the DOM Node interface and serves as the primary datatype for the entire Document Object Model. It represents a single node in the document tree.

The attributes nodeName, nodeValue and attributes are included as a mechanism to get at node information without casting down to the specific derived instance. In cases where there is no obvious mapping of these attributes for a specific nodeType (e.g., nodeValue for an Element or attributes for a Comment), this returns null. Note that the derived classes may contain additional and more convenient mechanisms to get and set the relevant information.

public Node replaceChild(Node newChild,
                         Node oldChild)
                  throws DOMException

NOT_FOUND_ERR: Raised if oldChild is not a child of this node.

cloneNode

public Node cloneNode(boolean deep)
Returns a duplicate of this node, i.e., serves as a generic copy constructor for nodes. The duplicate node has no parent ( parentNode returns null.).
Cloning an Element copies all attributes and their values, including those generated by the XML processor to represent defaulted attributes, but this method does not copy any text it contains unless it is a deep clone, since the text is contained in a child Text node. Cloning any other type of node simply returns a copy of this node.
Specified by:
cloneNode in interface Node
Parameters:
deep - If true, recursively clone the subtree under the specified node; if false, clone only the node itself (and its attributes, if it is an Element).
Returns:
The duplicate node.

normalize

public void normalize()
Puts all Text nodes in the full depth of the sub-tree underneath this Node, including attribute nodes, into "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 particulardocument tree structure are to be used.
Specified by:
normalize in interface Node

addEventListener

public void addEventListener(java.lang.String type,
                             EventListener listener,
                             boolean useCapture)
This method allows the registration of event listeners on the event target
Specified by:
addEventListener in interface EventTarget
Parameters:
type - the type of event for which the event listener wants to register
listener - the listener to be registered
useCapture - flag to indicate if the listener wants to initiate capture

removeEventListener

public void removeEventListener(java.lang.String type,
                                EventListener listener,
                                boolean useCapture)
Description copied from interface: EventTarget
This method allows the removal of event listeners from the event target. If an EventListener is removed from an EventTarget while it is processing an event, it will not be triggered by the current actions. EventListeners can never be invoked after being removed.
Calling removeEventListener with arguments which do not identify any currently registered EventListener on the EventTarget has no effect.
Specified by:
removeEventListener in interface EventTarget

dispatchEvent

public boolean dispatchEvent(Event evtArg)
                      throws DOMException
This method allows the dispatch of events into the implementations event model
Specified by:
dispatchEvent in interface EventTarget
Returns:
boolean value that indicates whether preventDefault or stopPropogation was called
Throws:
UNSPECIFIED_EVENT_TYPE: - Raised if the Event's type was not specified by initializing the event before dispatchEvent was called

public DOMStringList getEnumeratedValues()
A DOMStringList, as described in [ DOM Level 3 Core] , of distinct values for an attribute or an element declaration or null if unspecified. Elena wanted mention of XML Schema's canonical lexical representation here. Why?
Specified by:
getEnumeratedValues in interface NodeEditVAL

canInsertBefore

public short canInsertBefore(Node newChild,
                             Node refChild)
Determines whether the Node.insertBefore operation would make this document not compliant with the VAL_INCOMPLETE validity type.
Specified by:
canInsertBefore in interface NodeEditVAL
Parameters:
newChild - Node to be inserted.
refChild - Reference Node.
Returns:
A validation state constant.

canRemoveChild

public short canRemoveChild(Node oldChild)
Determines whether the Node.removeChild operation would make this document not compliant with the VAL_INCOMPLETE validity type.
Specified by:
canRemoveChild in interface NodeEditVAL
Parameters:
oldChild - Node to be removed.
Returns:
A validation state constant.

canReplaceChild

public short canReplaceChild(Node newChild,
                             Node oldChild)
Determines whether the Node.replaceChild operation would make this document not compliant with the VAL_INCOMPLETE validity type.
Specified by:
canReplaceChild in interface NodeEditVAL
Parameters:
newChild - New Node.
oldChild - Node to be replaced.
Returns:
A validation state constant.

canAppendChild

public short canAppendChild(Node newChild)
Determines whether the Node.appendChild operation would make this document not compliant with the VAL_INCOMPLETE validity type.
Specified by:
canAppendChild in interface NodeEditVAL
Parameters:
newChild - Node to be appended.
Returns:
A validation state constant.

nodeValidity

public short nodeValidity(short wFValidityCheckLevel)
Determines if the node is valid relative to the validation type specified in valType. This operation doesn't normalize before checking if it is valid. To do so, one would need to explicitly call a normalize method. The difference between this method and the validateDocument method on the DocumentVAL interface is that validateDocument only checks to determine whether the entire document is valid.
Specified by:
nodeValidity in interface NodeEditVAL
Parameters:
wFValidityCheckLevel - Flag to tell at what level validity and well-formedness checking is done.
Returns:
A validation state constant.

addText

public void addText(char[] ch,
                    int start,
                    int length)
             throws XMLDOMException
Adds text to this node, or appends str to the last child if the last child is a text node.
Parameters:
ch - char array to add
start - start index in the char array
length - no of chars to be added
Throws:
XMLDOMException - if text can't be added to this node

getText

public java.lang.String getText()
Returns the non-marked-up text contained by this element. For text elements, this is the raw data. For elements with child nodes, this method traverses the entire subtree and appends the text for each terminal text element, effectively stripping out the XML markup for the subtree. For example, if the XML document contains the following: <xmp> <AUTHOR> <FIRST>William</FIRST> <LAST>Shakespeare</LAST> </AUTHOR> </xmp>

XMLDocument.getText returns "William Shakespeare".

Returns:
non-marked-up text contained bu this element
