org.zkoss.idom.Attribute

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, org.w3c.dom.Attr, org.w3c.dom.Node, Item, Namespaceable

public class Attribute
extends AbstractItem
implements Namespaceable, org.w3c.dom.Attr

The iDOM attribute.

Design decision: Attribute is also a item. The reason is it simplifies the use of XPath. An XPath might return either elements or attributes, so...

Constructor Detail

Attribute

public Attribute(java.lang.String nsURI,
                 java.lang.String tname,
                 java.lang.String value)

Constructor.

Note: According to W3/DOM, the namespace of attributes must have a prefix if the uri is not empty.

Parameters:

nsURI - the namespace URI

tname - the tag name

Attribute

public Attribute(Namespace ns,
                 java.lang.String lname,
                 java.lang.String value)

Constructor.

Parameters:

ns - the namespace

lname - the local name

Attribute

public Attribute(java.lang.String lname,
                 java.lang.String value)

Constructor.

Attribute

protected Attribute()

Constructor.

Method Detail

getValue

public final java.lang.String getValue()

Gets the value of this attribute.

Specified by:

getValue in interface org.w3c.dom.Attr

setValue

public final void setValue(java.lang.String value)

Sets the value of this attribute. According to Section 3.3.3 of XML 1.0 spec, the value is always normalized. Whether to trim depends on whether an attribute is CDATA (default). In this version, we don't normalize or trim (i.e., consider it as CDATA).

Specified by:

setValue in interface org.w3c.dom.Attr

Parameters:

value - the new value; null is considered as empty

getOwner

public final Item getOwner()

Gets the item that owns this attribute.

setOwner

public final void setOwner(Item owner)

Sets the item that owns this attribute.

DO NOT call this method. It is used internally. For user's point of view, the owner item is maintained automatically, so user never needs to update it.

setNamespace

public final void setNamespace(java.lang.String prefix,
                               java.lang.String nsURI)

Sets the namespace.

setNamespace

public final void setNamespace(Namespace ns)

Sets the namespace.

According W3C/DOM, unlike element, an attribute doesn't allow a namespace that has an URI but without a prefix.

Specified by:

setNamespace in interface Namespaceable

getNamespace

public final Namespace getNamespace()

Description copied from interface: Namespaceable

Gets the namespace.

Specified by:

getNamespace in interface Namespaceable

Returns:

the namespace; never null

getTagName

public final java.lang.String getTagName()

Description copied from interface: Namespaceable

Gets the tag name of this item. The tag name is also called the fully qualified name -- the name with the namespace prefix, e.g., prefix:name.

To get the local name (the name without prefix), Namespaceable.getLocalName could be used.

Specified by:

getTagName in interface Namespaceable

setTagName

public final void setTagName(java.lang.String tname)

Sets the tag name.

Changing a name improperly might cause replicated attribute names which won't be detected by this method.

Specified by:

setTagName in interface Namespaceable

getLocalName

public final java.lang.String getLocalName()

Description copied from interface: Namespaceable

Gets the local name of this item. The local name is the name without prefix.

To get the tag name (the name with prefix), Namespaceable.getTagName could be used.

Specified by:

getLocalName in interface org.w3c.dom.Node

Specified by:

getLocalName in interface Namespaceable

Overrides:

getLocalName in class AbstractItem

setLocalName

public final void setLocalName(java.lang.String lname)

Sets the local name of this attribute.

Changing a name improperly might cause replicated attribute names which won't be detected by this method.

Specified by:

setLocalName in interface Namespaceable

getName

public final java.lang.String getName()

Description copied from interface: Item

Gets the name of the item. For vertices that support namespace (implements Namespaceable), it is the same as getTagName.

Specified by:

getName in interface org.w3c.dom.Attr

Specified by:

getName in interface Item

See Also:

Namespaceable.getTagName()

setName

public final void setName(java.lang.String tname)

Description copied from interface: Item

Sets the name of the item. For vertices that support namespace (implements Namespaceable), it is the same as setTagName.

Specified by:

setName in interface Item

Overrides:

setName in class AbstractItem

See Also:

Namespaceable.setTagName(java.lang.String)

getText

public final java.lang.String getText()

Description copied from interface: Item

Gets the text of this item, or null if it is neither Textual nor Element. For Element, the text is the concatenation of all its textual children, including Text, CDATA, and Binary.

Besides String-type value, some item, e.g., Binary, allows any type of objects. Caller could test whether a item implements the Binable interface, and use Binable.getValue instead. For binable vertices, getText is actually getValue().toString().

The returned value is neither trimmed nor normalized.

Specified by:

getText in interface Item

Overrides:

getText in class AbstractItem

setText

public final void setText(java.lang.String text)

Description copied from interface: Item

Sets the text of this item.

Specified by:

setText in interface Item

Overrides:

setText in class AbstractItem

getDocument

public final Document getDocument()

Gets the document that owns this attribute.

Specified by:

getDocument in interface Item

Overrides:

getDocument in class AbstractItem

detach

public Item detach()

Detach the attribute from its owner, if any. Only attributes that belongs to no item or the same item are allowed to be added to a item. So, detach is useful to move an attribute out from a item (and then you might add it to another item).

Specified by:

detach in interface Item

Overrides:

detach in class AbstractItem

Returns:

this item

setParent

public void setParent(Item parent)

getNodeType

public final short getNodeType()

Specified by:

getNodeType in interface org.w3c.dom.Node

getOwnerDocument

public final org.w3c.dom.Document getOwnerDocument()

Specified by:

getOwnerDocument in interface org.w3c.dom.Node

Overrides:

getOwnerDocument in class AbstractItem

getNamespaceURI

public final java.lang.String getNamespaceURI()

Specified by:

getNamespaceURI in interface org.w3c.dom.Node

Overrides:

getNamespaceURI in class AbstractItem

getPrefix

public final java.lang.String getPrefix()

Specified by:

getPrefix in interface org.w3c.dom.Node

Overrides:

getPrefix in class AbstractItem

setPrefix

public final void setPrefix(java.lang.String prefix)

Sets the namespace prefix of this attribute.

Changing a prefix improperly might cause replicated attribute names which won't be detected by this method.

Specified by:

setPrefix in interface org.w3c.dom.Node

Overrides:

setPrefix in class AbstractItem

getSchemaTypeInfo

public org.w3c.dom.TypeInfo getSchemaTypeInfo()

Specified by:

getSchemaTypeInfo in interface org.w3c.dom.Attr

isId

public boolean isId()

Specified by:

isId in interface org.w3c.dom.Attr

getSpecified

public final boolean getSpecified()

Specified by:

getSpecified in interface org.w3c.dom.Attr

getOwnerElement

public final org.w3c.dom.Element getOwnerElement()

Specified by:

getOwnerElement in interface org.w3c.dom.Attr

toString

public final java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Description copied from class: AbstractItem

Clones this object (a deep cloning not including contents contained in Textual nodes). Note: after cloning, the read-only flag always becomes false, and the parent becomes null (i.e., detached).

Specified by:

clone in interface Item

Overrides:

clone in class AbstractItem
