class DOM_Document

Detailed Description

DOM_CDataSection objects refer to the data from an XML CDATA section. These are used to escape blocks of text containing characters that would otherwise be regarded as markup.

Note that the string data associated with the CDATA section may contain characters that need to be escaped when appearing in an XML document outside of a CDATA section.

The DOM_CDATASection class inherits from the DOM_CharacterData class through the Text interface. Adjacent CDATASection nodes are not merged by use of the Element.normalize() method.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

DOM_CDATASection::DOM_CDATASection  
 

Default constructor for DOM_CDATASection. The resulting object does not refer to any actual CData section; it will compare == to 0, and is similar to a null object reference variable in Java.

DOM_CDATASection::DOM_CDATASection const DOM_CDATASection &    other
 

Copy constructor. Creates a new DOM_CDataSection that refers to the same underlying data as the original. See also DOM_Node::clone(), which will copy the underlying data, rather than just creating a new reference to the original object.

Parameters:
other The source DOM_CDATASection object

DOM_CDATASection::~DOM_CDATASection  
 

Destructor for DOM_CDATASection.


Member Function Documentation

DOM_CDATASection & DOM_CDATASection::operator= const DOM_NullPtr *    val
 

Assignment operator. This overloaded variant is provided for the sole purpose of setting a DOM_Node reference variable to zero. Nulling out a reference variable in this way will decrement the reference count on the underlying Node object that the variable formerly referenced. This effect is normally obtained when reference variable goes out of scope, but zeroing them can be useful for global instances, or for local instances that will remain in scope for an extended time, when the storage belonging to the underlying node needs to be reclaimed.

Parameters:
val Only a value of 0, or null, is allowed.

Reimplemented from DOM_Text.

DOM_CDATASection & DOM_CDATASection::operator= const DOM_CDATASection &    other
 

Assignment operator.

Parameters:
other The object to be copied.
