public class WhiteSpace

extends Child

Right now this is the same as TextImpl. Not sure what I want to do with this, but it certainly seems like there should be some way to optimize the storage of whitespace nodes.

This class is based on an implementation from the Apache XML Project. In future releases the XML parser, XSLT processor, and associated classes will likely be updated to be based on a later version of the Apache implementations. Since Apache does not guarantee backwards compatibility between versions of their software, we cannot guarantee backwards compatibility of any of the classes contained in the weblogic.apache package or sub-packages.

Constructor Detail

WhiteSpace

public WhiteSpace(DocumentImpl doc,
                  char[] ch,
                  int start,
                  int length)

Constructor WhiteSpace

Parameters:

doc - Document object

ch - Array containing whitespace data

start - Start of data in array

length - Length of data in array

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.

Returns:

TEXT_NODE node type

Overrides:

getNodeType in class UnImplNode

getNodeName

public java.lang.String getNodeName()

Returns the node name.

Returns:

Text node name

Overrides:

getNodeName in class UnImplNode

getLocalName

public java.lang.String getLocalName()

Returns the local part of the qualified name of this node.
For nodes created with a DOM Level 1 method, such as createElement from the Document interface, it is null.

Returns:

Text node name

Overrides:

getLocalName in class Child

getData

public java.lang.String getData()

Retrieve character data currently stored in this node.

Returns:

Text associated with 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.

Returns:

Length of text associated with this node

Overrides:

getLength in class UnImplNode

getNodeValue

public java.lang.String getNodeValue()

Text associated with this node

Returns:

Text associated with this node

Overrides:

getNodeValue in class UnImplNode
