      • getNodeType

        public short getNodeType()

        getNodeType in class AbstractNode

        Description copied from interface: Node

        Specified by:
        getUniquePath in interface Node
        Parameters:
        context - is the parent context from which the path should start. If the context is null or the context is not an ancestor of this node then the path will start from the document and so begin with the '/' character.
        Returns:
        the XPath expression relative to the given context which will return a nodeset containing just this node.
