Method Detail

getNodeType


public short getNodeType()
Return the type of node.
Returns:
one of the values Node.ELEMENT, Node.TEXT, Node.ATTRIBUTE, etc.

isSameNode


public boolean isSameNode(NodeInfo other)
Determine whether this is the same node as another node.
Note: a.isSameNode(b) if and only if generateId(a)==generateId(b)
Returns:
true if this Node object and the supplied Node object represent the same node in the tree.

getSystemId


public java.lang.String getSystemId()
Get the System ID for the node.
Returns:
the System Identifier of the entity in the source document containing the node, or null if not known. Note this is not the same as the base URI: the base URI can be

getBaseURI


public java.lang.String getBaseURI()
Get the Base URI for the node, that is, the URI used for resolving a relative URI contained

getLineNumber


public int getLineNumber()
Get line number
Returns:
the line number of the node in its original source document; or -1 if not available

compareOrder


public int compareOrder(NodeInfo other)
Determine the relative position of this node and another node, in document order. The other node will always be in the same document.
Parameters:
other - The other node, whose position is to be compared with this node
Returns:
-1 if this node precedes the other node, +1 if it follows the other node, or 0 if they are the same node. (In this case, isSameNode() will always return true, and the two nodes will produce the same result for generateId())

getStringValue


public java.lang.String getStringValue()
Return the string value of the node. The interpretation of this depends on the type of node. For an element it is the accumulated character content of the element, including descendant elements.
Returns:
the string value of the node

getNameCode


public int getNameCode()
Get name code. The name code is a coded form of the node name: two nodes with the same name code have the same namespace URI, the same local name, and the same prefix. By masking the name code with &0xfffff, you get a fingerprint: two nodes with the same fingerprint have the same local name and namespace URI.
See Also:
allocate, getFingerprint

getFingerprint


public int getFingerprint()
Get fingerprint. The fingerprint is a coded form of the expanded name of the node: two nodes with the same name code have the same namespace URI and the same local name. A fingerprint of -1 should be returned for a node with no name.

getLocalName


public java.lang.String getLocalName()
Get the local part of the name of this node. This is the name after the ":" if any.
Returns:
the local part of the name. For an unnamed node, return an empty string.

getPrefix


public java.lang.String getPrefix()
Get the prefix part of the name of this node. This is the name before the ":" if any.
Returns:
the prefix part of the name. For an unnamed node, return an empty string.

getURI


public java.lang.String getURI()
Get the URI part of the name of this node. This is the URI corresponding to the prefix, or the URI of the default namespace if appropriate.
Returns:
The URI of the namespace of this node. For an unnamed node, return null. For a node with an empty prefix, return an empty string.

getDisplayName


public java.lang.String getDisplayName()
Get the display name of this node. For elements and attributes this is [prefix:]localname. For unnamed nodes, it is an empty string.
Returns:
The display name of this node. For a node with no name, return an empty string.

getParent


public NodeInfo getParent()
Get the NodeInfo object representing the parent of this node

getEnumeration


public AxisEnumeration getEnumeration(byte axisNumber,
                                      NodeTest nodeTest)
Return an enumeration over the nodes reached by the given axis from this node
Parameters:
nodeType - the type(s) of node to be included, e.g. NodeInfo.ELEMENT, NodeInfo.TEXT. The value NodeInfo.NODE means include any type of node.
nodeTest - A pattern to be matched by the returned nodes
Returns:
a NodeEnumeration that scans the nodes reached by the axis in turn.

getAttributeValue


public java.lang.String getAttributeValue(java.lang.String uri,
                                          java.lang.String localName)
Find the value of a given attribute of this node.
This method is defined on all nodes to meet XSL requirements, but for nodes other than elements it will always return null.
Parameters:
uri - the namespace uri of an attribute ("" if no namespace)
localname - the local name of the attribute
Returns:
the value of the attribute, if it exists, otherwise null

getAttributeValue


public java.lang.String getAttributeValue(int fingerprint)
Get the value of a given attribute of this node
Parameters:
fingerprint - The fingerprint of the attribute name
Returns:
the attribute value if it exists or null if not

getDocumentRoot


public DocumentInfo getDocumentRoot()
Get the root (document) node
Returns:
the DocumentInfo representing the containing document

hasChildNodes


public boolean hasChildNodes()
Determine whether the node has any children.
Note: the result is equivalent to
getEnumeration(Axis.CHILD, AnyNodeTest.getInstance()).hasMoreElements()

generateId


public java.lang.String generateId()
Get a character string that uniquely identifies this node.
Note: a.isSameNode(b) if and only if generateId(a)==generateId(b)
Returns:
a string that uniquely identifies this node, within this document. The calling code prepends information to make the result unique across all documents.

copy


public void copy(Outputter out)

Copy this node to a given outputter

copyStringValue


public void copyStringValue(Outputter out)

Copy the string-value of this node to a given outputter

outputNamespaceNodes


public void outputNamespaceNodes(Outputter out,
                                 boolean includeAncestors)

Output all namespace nodes associated with this element. Does nothing if the node is not an element.
Parameters:
out - The relevant outputter
includeAncestors - True if namespaces declared on ancestor elements must be output; false if it is known that these are already on the result tree
