public abstract class CharacterDataImpl
extends ChildNode

CharacterData is an abstract Node that can carry character data as its Value. It provides shared behavior for Text, CData, and possibly other node types. All offsets are 0-based.

Since ProcessingInstructionImpl inherits from this class to reuse the setNodeValue method, this class isn't declared as implementing the interface CharacterData. This is done by relevant subclasses (TexImpl, CommentImpl).

This class doesn't directly support mutation events, however, it notifies the document when mutations are performed so that the document class do so.

Since:

PR-DOM-Level-1-19980818.

Constructor Detail

CharacterDataImpl

public CharacterDataImpl()

Method Detail

getChildNodes

public NodeList getChildNodes()

Returns an empty node list.

Specified by:

getChildNodes in interface Node

Overrides:

getChildNodes in class NodeImpl

getNodeValue

public java.lang.String getNodeValue()

Description copied from class: NodeImpl

Returns the node value.

Specified by:

getNodeValue in interface Node

Overrides:

getNodeValue in class NodeImpl

setNodeValue

public void setNodeValue(java.lang.String value)

Sets the content, possibly firing related events, and updating ranges (via notification to the document)

Specified by:

setNodeValue in interface Node

Overrides:

setNodeValue in class NodeImpl

getData

public java.lang.String getData()

Retrieve character data currently stored in this node.

Throws:

DOMExcpetion(DOMSTRING_SIZE_ERR) - In some implementations, the stored data may exceed the permitted length of strings. If so, getData() will throw this DOMException advising the user to instead retrieve the data in chunks via the substring() operation.

getLength

public int getLength()

Report number of characters currently stored in this node's data. It may be 0, meaning that the value is an empty string.

Specified by:

getLength in interface NodeList

Overrides:

getLength in class NodeImpl

Returns:

int

ParentNode

appendData

public void appendData(java.lang.String data)

Concatenate additional characters onto the end of the data stored in this node. Note that this, and insert(), are the paths by which a DOM could wind up accumulating more data than the language's strings can easily handle. (See above discussion.)

Throws:

DOMException(NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR) - if node is readonly.

deleteData

public void deleteData(int offset,
                       int count)
                throws DOMException

Remove a range of characters from the node's value. Throws a DOMException if the offset is beyond the end of the string. However, a deletion _count_ that exceeds the available data is accepted as a delete-to-end request.

Throws:

DOMException(INDEX_SIZE_ERR) - if offset is negative or greater than length, or if count is negative.

DOMException(NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR) - if node is readonly.

DOMException

insertData

public void insertData(int offset,
                       java.lang.String data)
                throws DOMException

Insert additional characters into the data stored in this node, at the offset specified.

Throws:

DOMException(INDEX_SIZE_ERR) - if offset is negative or greater than length.

DOMException(NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR) - if node is readonly.

DOMException

replaceData

public void replaceData(int offset,
                        int count,
                        java.lang.String data)
                 throws DOMException

Replace a series of characters at the specified (zero-based) offset with a new string, NOT necessarily of the same length. Convenience method, equivalent to a delete followed by an insert. Throws a DOMException if the specified offset is beyond the end of the existing data.

Parameters:

offset - The offset at which to begin replacing.

count - The number of characters to remove, interpreted as in the delete() method.

data - The new string to be inserted at offset in place of the removed data. Note that the entire string will be inserted -- the count parameter does not affect insertion, and the new data may be longer or shorter than the substring it replaces.

Throws:

DOMException(INDEX_SIZE_ERR) - if offset is negative or greater than length, or if count is negative.

DOMException(NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR) - if node is readonly.

DOMException

setData

public void setData(java.lang.String value)
             throws DOMException

Store character data into this node.

Throws:

DOMException(NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR) - if node is readonly.

DOMException

substringData

public java.lang.String substringData(int offset,
                                      int count)
                               throws DOMException

Substring is more than a convenience function. In some implementations of the DOM, where the stored data may exceed the length that can be returned in a single string, the only way to read it all is to extract it in chunks via this method.

Parameters:

offset - Zero-based offset of first character to retrieve.

count - Number of characters to retrieve. If the sum of offset and count exceeds the length, all characters to end of data are returned.

Throws:

DOMException(INDEX_SIZE_ERR) - if offset is negative or greater than length, or if count is negative.

DOMException(WSTRING_SIZE_ERR) - In some implementations, count may exceed the permitted length of strings. If so, substring() will throw this DOMException advising the user to instead retrieve the data in smaller chunks.
