Returns a duplicate of this node; serves as a generic copy constructor for nodes. The duplicate node has no parent (parentNode returns null.). Cloning an Element copies all attributes and their values, including those generated by the XML processor to represent defaulted attributes, but this method does not copy any text it contains unless it is a deep clone, since the text is contained in a child Text node.

Adds a new attribute. If an attribute with that name is already present in the element, its value is changed to be that of the value parameter. This value is a simple string, it is not parsed as it is being set. So any markup (such as syntax to be recognized as an entity reference) is treated as literal text, and needs to be appropriately escaped by the implementation when it is written out. In order to assign an attribute value that contains entity references, the user must create an Attr node plus any Text and EntityReference nodes, build the appropriate subtree, and use setAttributeNode to assign it as the value of an attribute. This method is namespace unaware and hence wont result in update of namespace table if a new attr is added through this method. Throws DOMException:
INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR if the specified name contains an invalid character.
NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR raised if this node is readonly.
public void setAttribute( String name, String value);
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
name |
The name of the attribute to create or alter. |
value |
Value to set in string form. |

WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR raised if newAttr was created from a different document than the one that created the element.
NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR raised if this node is readonly.
INUSE_ATTRIBUTE_ERR raised if newAttr is already an attribute of another Element object. The DOM user must explicitly clone Attr nodes to reuse them in other elements.

This class implements the DOM Notation interface and represents a notation declared in the Document Type Definition.
public class XMLNotation implements java.io.Externalizable
Default constructor. Note that this constructor is used only during deserialization/decompression of this DOM node. In order to deserialize this node to construct the DOM node from the serialized/ compressed stream, it is required to create a handle of the object. For all normal XMLElement creation use XMLNotation().
public XMLNotation();
Returns a duplicate of this node; serves as a generic copy constructor for nodes. The duplicate node has no parent (parentNode returns null). Cloning an Element copies all attributes and their values, including those generated by the XML processor to represent defaulted attributes, but this method does not copy any text it contains unless it is a deep clone, since the text is contained in a child Text node. Cloning any other type of node simply returns a copy of this node.
public org.w3c.dom.Node cloneNode( boolean deep);
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
deep |
If |
Returns the name of the Notation
public String getNodeName();

| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
in |

url |
System identifier to set. |
Saves the state of the object by creating a binary compressed stream with information about this object. Throws IOException.

Adds the node newChild to the end of the list of children of this node, and returns that node. If the newChild is already in the tree, it is first removed. Throws DOMException:
HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR raised if this node is of a type that does not allow children of the type of the newChild node, or if the node to append is one of this node's ancestors.
WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR raised if newChild was created from a different document than the one that created this node.

public org.w3c.dom.Node appendChild( org.w3c.dom.Node newChild);
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
newChild |
The node to add. If it is a DocumentFragment object, the entire contents of the document fragment are moved into the child list of this node. |
Returns all children of this node as a NodeList. If there are no children, this is a NodeList containing no nodes. The content of the returned NodeList is "live" in the sense that, for instance, changes to the children of the node object that it was created from are immediately reflected in the nodes returned by the NodeList accessors; it is not a static snapshot of the content of the node. This is true for every NodeList, including the ones returned by the getElementsByTagName method.
public org.w3c.dom.NodeList getChildNodes();
Returns the first child of this node. If there is no such node, this returns null.
public org.w3c.dom.Node getFirstChild();

Returns the name of this node, depending on its type
public String getNodeName();
Returns the prefix of this node overrided by node types for which namespace is meaningful.
public String getPrefix();
Returns the non-marked-up text contained by this element. For text elements, this is the raw data. For elements with child nodes, this method traverses the entire subtree and appends the text for each terminal text element, effectively stripping out the XML markup for the subtree. For example, if the XML document contains "William Shakespeare", XMLDocument.getText returns "William Shakespeare".
public String getText();
This is a convenience method to allow easy determination of whether a node has any children. Returns TRUE if the node has any children, FALSE otherwise.
public boolean hasChildNodes();
Inserts the node newChild before the existing child node refChild, and returns the node being inserted. If refChild is null, insert newChild at the end of the list of children. If newChild is a DocumentFragment object, all of its children are inserted, in the same order, before refChild. If the newChild is already in the tree, it is first removed. Throws DOMException:
HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR raised if this node is of a type that does not allow children of the type of the newChild node, or if the node to insert is one of this node's ancestors.
WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR raised if newChild was created from a different document than the one that created this node. NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly. NOT_FOUND_ERR: Raised if refChild is not a child of this node.
public org.w3c.dom.Node insertBefore( org.w3c.dom.Node newChild, org.w3c.dom.Node refChild);
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
newChild |
The new node to put in the child list. |
refChild |
The reference node, or the node before which the new node must be inserted. |
Puts all Text nodes in the full depth of the sub-tree underneath this Node, including attribute nodes, into "normal" form where only structure (for example, elements, comments, processing instructions, CDATA sections, and entity references) separates Text nodes; there are neither adjacent Text nodes nor empty Text nodes. This can be used to ensure that the DOM view of a document is the same as if it were saved and re-loaded, and is useful when operations (such as XPointer lookups) that depend on a particular document tree structure are to be used.
public void normalize();

HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR raised if this node is of a type that does not allow children of the type of the newChild node, or if the node to put in is one of this node's ancestors.
WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR raised if newChild was created from a different document than the one that created this node.
NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR raised if this node is readonly.
