public class EntityImpl
extends ParentNode
implements Entity

Entity nodes hold the reference data for an XML Entity -- either parsed or unparsed. The nodeName (inherited from Node) will contain the name (if any) of the Entity. Its data will be contained in the Entity's children, in exactly the structure which an EntityReference to this name will present within the document's body.

Note that this object models the actual entity, _not_ the entity declaration or the entity reference.

An XML processor may choose to completely expand entities before the structure model is passed to the DOM; in this case, there will be no EntityReferences in the DOM tree.

Quoting the 10/01 DOM Proposal,

"The DOM Level 1 does not support editing Entity nodes; if a user wants to make changes to the contents of an Entity, every related EntityReference node has to be replaced in the structure model by a clone of the Entity's contents, and then the desired changes must be made to each of those clones instead. All the descendants of an Entity node are readonly."

I'm interpreting this as: It is the parser's responsibilty to call the non-DOM operation setReadOnly(true,true) after it constructs the Entity. Since the DOM explicitly decided not to deal with this, _any_ answer will involve a non-DOM operation, and this is the simplest solution.

Since:

Constructor Detail

EntityImpl

public EntityImpl(CoreDocumentImpl ownerDoc,
                  java.lang.String name)

Factory constructor.

Method Detail

getNodeType

public short getNodeType()

A short integer indicating what type of node this is. The named constants for this value are defined in the org.w3c.dom.Node interface.

Specified by:

getNodeType in interface Node

Specified by:

getNodeType in class NodeImpl

getNodeName

public java.lang.String getNodeName()

Returns the entity name

Specified by:

getNodeName in interface Node

Specified by:

getNodeName in class NodeImpl

cloneNode

public Node cloneNode(boolean deep)

Clone node.

Specified by:

cloneNode in interface Node

Overrides:

cloneNode in class ParentNode

Parameters:

deep - If true, recursively clone the subtree under the specified node; if false, clone only the node itself (and its attributes, if it is an Element).

Returns:

The duplicate node.

See Also:

Example: Cloning a Text node will copy both the node and the text it contains.

Example: Cloning something that has children -- Element or Attr, for example -- will _not_ clone those children unless a "deep clone" has been requested. A shallow clone of an Attr node will yield an empty Attr of the same name.

NOTE: Clones will always be read/write, even if the node being cloned is read-only, to permit applications using only the DOM API to obtain editable copies of locked portions of the tree.

getPublicId

public java.lang.String getPublicId()

The public identifier associated with the entity. If not specified, this will be null.

Specified by:

getPublicId in interface Entity

getSystemId

public java.lang.String getSystemId()

The system identifier associated with the entity. If not specified, this will be null.

Specified by:

getSystemId in interface Entity

getXmlVersion

public java.lang.String getXmlVersion()

DOM Level 3 WD - experimental the version number of this entity, when it is an external parsed entity.

Specified by:

getXmlVersion in interface Entity

getXmlEncoding

public java.lang.String getXmlEncoding()

DOM Level 3 WD - experimental the encoding of this entity, when it is an external parsed entity.

Specified by:

getXmlEncoding in interface Entity

getNotationName

public java.lang.String getNotationName()

Unparsed entities -- which contain non-XML data -- have a "notation name" which tells applications how to deal with them. Parsed entities, which are in XML format, don't need this and set it to null.

Specified by:

getInputEncoding

public java.lang.String getInputEncoding()

An attribute specifying the encoding used for this entity at the tiome of parsing, when it is an external parsed entity. This is null if it an entity from the internal subset or if it is not known..

setInputEncoding

public void setInputEncoding(java.lang.String inputEncoding)

NON-DOM, used to set the input encoding.

setXmlVersion

public void setXmlVersion(java.lang.String value)

setNotationName

public void setNotationName(java.lang.String name)

DOM Level 2: Unparsed entities -- which contain non-XML data -- have a "notation name" which tells applications how to deal with them. Parsed entities, which are in XML format, don't need this and set it to null.

getBaseURI
