Class DomProcessingInstruction

Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable, Comparable<T>, DocumentEvent, EventTarget, Node, NodeList, ProcessingInstruction

public class DomProcessingInstruction
extends DomNode
implements ProcessingInstruction

"ProcessingInstruction" (PI) implementation. This is a non-core DOM class, supporting the "XML" feature.

Unlike other DOM APIs in the "XML" feature, this one fully exposes the functionality it describes. So there is no reason inherent in DOM to avoid using this API, unless you want to rely on NOTATION declarations to associate meaning with your PIs; there is no vendor-neutal way to record those notations in DOM.

Also of note is that PI support is part of SAX, so that XML systems using PIs can choose among multiple APIs.

void
setData(String data)
DOM L1 Assigns the data associated with the processing instruction; same as setNodeValue.
void
setNodeValue(String data)

Constructor Details

DomProcessingInstruction

protected DomProcessingInstruction(DomDocument owner,
                                   String target,
                                   String data)
Constructs a ProcessingInstruction node associated with the specified document, with the specified data.

This constructor should only be invoked by a Document object as part of its createProcessingInstruction functionality, or through a subclass which is similarly used in a "Sub-DOM" style layer.

getNodeValue

public final String getNodeValue()
DOM L1 Returns the data associated with the processing instruction (same as getData).
Specified by:

Specified by:
setData in interface ProcessingInstruction

setNodeValue

public final void setNodeValue(String data)
DOM L1 Assigns the data associated with the processing instruction.
Specified by:
setNodeValue in interface Node
Overrides:
setNodeValue in interface DomNode
