    • Method Detail

      • getNodeType

        public short getNodeType()
        Description copied from interface: Node
        Returns the code according to the type of node. This makes processing nodes polymorphically much easier as the switch statement can be used instead of multiple if (instanceof) statements.
        Specified by:
        getNodeType in interface Node
        Overrides:
        getNodeType in class AbstractNode
        Returns:
        a W3C DOM complient code for the node type such as ELEMENT_NODE or ATTRIBUTE_NODE
      • getPath

        public String getPath​(Element context)
        Description copied from interface: Node
        Returns the relative XPath expression which will return a node set containing the given node such as a/b/@c. No indexing will be used to restrict the path if multiple elements with the same name occur on the path.
        Specified by:
        getPath in interface Node
        Parameters:
        context - is the parent context from which the relative path should start. If the context is null or the context is not an ancestor of this node then the path will be absolute and 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 at least this node.
      • getUniquePath

        public String getUniquePath​(Element context)
        Description copied from interface: Node

        Returns the relative unique XPath expression from the given context which will return a nodeset of one node which is the current node. This method will use the XPath index operator to restrict the path if multiple elements with the same name occur on the path.

        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.
      • asXML

        public String asXML()
        Description copied from interface: Node

        asXML returns the textual XML representation of this node.

        Specified by:
        asXML in interface Node
        Returns:
        the XML representation of this node
      • write

        public void write​(Writer writer)
                   throws IOException
        Description copied from interface: Node

        write writes this node as the default XML notation for this node. If you wish to control the XML output (such as for pretty printing, changing the indentation policy etc.) then please use XMLWriter or its derivations.

        Specified by:
        write in interface Node
        Overrides:
        write in class AbstractNode
        Parameters:
        writer - is the Writer to output the XML to
        Throws:
        IOException - DOCUMENT ME!
      • accept

        public void accept​(Visitor visitor)
        Description copied from interface: Node

        accept is the method used in the Visitor Pattern.

        Specified by:
        accept in interface Node
        Parameters:
        visitor - is the visitor in the Visitor Pattern
      • getName

        public String getName()
        Description copied from interface: Node

        getName returns the name of this node. This is the XML local name of the element, attribute, entity or processing instruction. For CDATA and Text nodes this method will return null.

        Specified by:
        getName in interface Node
        Overrides:
        getName in class AbstractNode
        Returns:
        the XML name of this node
      • setName

        public void setName​(String name)
        Description copied from interface: Node

        Sets the text data of this node or this method will throw an UnsupportedOperationException if it is read-only.

        Specified by:
        setName in interface Node
        Overrides:
        setName in class AbstractNode
        Parameters:
        name - is the new name of this node
      • toString

        protected String toString​(Map<String,​String> values)

        This will convert the Map to a string representation.

        Parameters:
        values - is a Map of PI data to convert
        Returns:

      • parseValues

        protected Map<String,​String> parseValues​(String text)

        Parses the raw data of PI as a Map.

        Parameters:
        text - String PI data to parse
        Returns:
        DOCUMENT ME!
