public class ElemTemplateElement
extends UnImplNode
implements PrefixResolver, java.io.Serializable, javax.xml.transform.SourceLocator, WhitespaceStrippingElementMatcher

An instance of this class represents an element inside an xsl:template class. It has a single "execute" method which is expected to perform the given action on the result tree. This class acts like a Element node, and implements the Element interface, but is not a full implementation of that interface... it only implements enough for basic traversal of the tree.

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.

Remove a child. ADDED 9/8/200 to support compilation. TODO: ***** Alternative is "removeMe() from my parent if any" ... which is less well checked, but more convenient in some cases. Given that we assume only experts are calling this class, it might be preferable. It's less DOMish, though.
