WebLogic Server 6.1 API Reference

weblogic.apache.xml.utils
Interface PrefixResolver

All Known Implementing Classes:

ElemTemplateElement, StylesheetHandler, PrefixResolverDefault

public interface PrefixResolver

The class that implements this interface can resolve prefixes to namespaces.

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.

Method Summary

java.lang.String	getBaseIdentifier() Return the base identifier.
java.lang.String	getNamespaceForPrefix(java.lang.String prefix) Given a namespace, get the corrisponding prefix.
java.lang.String	getNamespaceForPrefix(java.lang.String prefix, org.w3c.dom.Node context) Given a namespace, get the corrisponding prefix, based on the node context.

                                              org.w3c.dom.Node context)

Given a namespace, get the corrisponding prefix, based on the node context.

Parameters:

prefix - The prefix to look up, which may be an empty string ("") for the default Namespace.

context - The node context from which to look up the URI.

Returns:

The associated Namespace URI, or null if the prefix is undeclared in this context.

Return the base identifier.
