Interface AuthorNode

All Known Subinterfaces:

AuthorDocument, AuthorElement, AuthorParentNode, AuthorReferenceNode

public interface AuthorNode

Base interface for all Author nodes. The Author nodes model is similar with the DOM model with the difference that the TEXT nodes do not exists in this model. The text from the document is kept separately into a data structure similar to Content from Swing. The nodes have start and end pointers into the Content, see getStartOffset() and getEndOffset() methods.
The author content contains the entire XML document text and special marker characters. Each author node points in the content to the start and end marker characters which are used to delimit it's range.

The image represents part of the document content and red markers represent special control characters which represent the node ranges.

Method Detail

getOwnerDocument

AuthorDocument getOwnerDocument()

Returns the document to which this element belongs.

Returns:

The AuthorDocument to which this element belongs. Returns null if this element is part of a document fragment. For more details see AuthorDocumentFragment.

isDescendentOf

boolean isDescendentOf(AuthorNode ancestor)

See if this node is a descendant of the given node.

Parameters:

ancestor - The AuthorNode tested to see if it is an ancestor of this node.

Returns:

true if the given node is an ancestor of this node.

getType

int getType()

Returns the node type. Can be one of the constants: NODE_TYPE_CDATA, NODE_TYPE_COMMENT, NODE_TYPE_DOCUMENT, NODE_TYPE_ELEMENT, NODE_TYPE_PI, NODE_TYPE_PSEUDO_DOCTYPE, NODE_TYPE_PSEUDO_ELEMENT, NODE_TYPE_REFERENCE.

Returns:

The node type.

getStartOffset

int getStartOffset()

Returns the offset in the content which marks the start of the node's range.
The author content contains the entire XML document text and special marker characters. Each author node points in the content to the start and end marker characters which are used to delimit it's range.

The image represents part of the document content and red markers represent special control characters which represent the node ranges.

Returns:

The offset into the content corresponding to the start of the node, 0 based and inclusive.

getEndOffset

int getEndOffset()

Returns the offset in the content which marks the end of the node's range.
The author content contains the entire XML document text and special marker characters. Each author node points in the content to the start and end marker characters which are used to delimit it's range.

The image represents part of the document content and red markers represent special control characters which represent the node ranges.

Returns:

The offset into the content corresponding to the end of the node, 0 based and inclusive.

getName

java.lang.String getName()

Returns the node name. Depending on the node type the method returns:

• NODE_TYPE_ELEMENT - the qualified name of the element
• NODE_TYPE_CDATA - the constant NODE_NAME_CDATA
• NODE_TYPE_COMMENT - the constant NODE_NAME_COMMENT
• NODE_TYPE_DOCUMENT - the constant NODE_NAME_DOCUMENT
• NODE_TYPE_REFERENCE - the name of the entity
• NODE_TYPE_PI - the constant NODE_NAME_PI

The name of the node.

getParent

AuthorNode getParent()

getXMLBaseURL

java.net.URL getXMLBaseURL()

The returned URL represents the value of base URL in the current nodes context. It is resolved taking into account the values of all the 'xml:base' attributes from the ancestors and the document URL if necessary.

If no 'xml:base' attribute is present, the document system ID will be returned. See specification: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlbase/.

Returns:
