    • Method Detail

      • getParent

        public Element getParent()
        Description copied from interface: Node

        getParent returns the parent Element if this node supports the parent relationship or null if it is the root element or does not support the parent relationship.

        This method is an optional feature and may not be supported for all Node implementations.

        Specified by:
        getParent in interface Node
        Overrides:
        getParent in class AbstractNode
        Returns:
        the parent of this node or null if it is the root of the tree or the parent relationship is not supported.

      • setParent

        public void setParent​(Element parent)
        Description copied from interface: Node

        setParent sets the parent relationship of this node if the parent relationship is supported or does nothing if the parent relationship is not supported.

        This method should only be called from inside an Element implementation method and is not intended for general use.

        Specified by:
        setParent in interface Node
        Overrides:
        setParent in class AbstractNode
        Parameters:
        parent - is the new parent of this node.

      • getDocument

        public Document getDocument()
        Description copied from interface: Node

        getDocument returns the Document that this Node is part of if this node supports the parent relationship.

        This method is an optional feature and may not be supported for all Node implementations.

        Specified by:
        getDocument in interface Node
        Overrides:
        getDocument in class AbstractNode
        Returns:
        the document of this node or null if this feature is not supported or the node is not associated with a Document

      • setDocument

        public void setDocument​(Document document)
        Description copied from interface: Node

        setDocument sets the document of this node if the parent relationship is supported or does nothing if the parent relationship is not supported.

        This method should only be called from inside a Document implementation method and is not intended for general use.

        Specified by:
        setDocument in interface Node
        Overrides:
        setDocument in class AbstractNode
        Parameters:
        document - is the new document of this node.

      • supportsParent

        public boolean supportsParent()
        Description copied from interface: Node

        supportsParent returns true if this node supports the parent relationship.

        Some XML tree implementations are singly linked and only support downward navigation through children relationships. The default case is that both parent and children relationships are supported though for memory and performance reasons the parent relationship may not be supported.

        Specified by:
        supportsParent in interface Node
        Overrides:
        supportsParent in class AbstractNode
        Returns:
        true if this node supports the parent relationship or false it is not supported

      • getQName

        public QName getQName()
        Description copied from interface: Element
        Returns the QName of this element which represents the local name, the qualified name and the Namespace.
        Returns:
        the QName associated with this element

      • setQName

        public void setQName​(QName name)
        Description copied from interface: Element
        Sets the QName of this element which represents the local name, the qualified name and the Namespace.
        Parameters:
        name - is the QName to be associated with this element
