NamespaceSupport

public interface NamespaceContext

Represents an interface to query namespace information.

Field Summary

static java.lang.String	XML_URI The XML Namespace ("http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace").
static java.lang.String	XMLNS_URI XML Information Set REC all namespace attributes (including those named xmlns, whose [prefix] property has no value) have a namespace URI of http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/

Method Summary

java.lang.String	getDeclaredPrefixAt(int index) Returns the prefix at the specified index in the current context.
int	getDeclaredPrefixCount() Return a count of all prefixes currently declared, including the default prefix if bound.
NamespaceContext	getParentContext() Returns the parent namespace context or null if there is no parent context.
java.lang.String	getURI(java.lang.String prefix) Look up a prefix and get the currently-mapped Namespace URI.

Field Detail

XML_URI

public static final java.lang.String XML_URI

The XML Namespace ("http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"). This is the Namespace URI that is automatically mapped to the "xml" prefix.

This method looks up the prefix in the current context. Use the empty string ("") for the default Namespace.

Parameters:

prefix - The prefix to look up.

Returns:

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

getDeclaredPrefixCount

public int getDeclaredPrefixCount()

Return a count of all prefixes currently declared, including the default prefix if bound.

getDeclaredPrefixAt

public java.lang.String getDeclaredPrefixAt(int index)

Returns the prefix at the specified index in the current context.

getParentContext

public NamespaceContext getParentContext()

Returns the parent namespace context or null if there is no parent context. The total depth of the namespace contexts matches the element depth in the document.

Note: This method may return the same NamespaceContext object reference. The caller is responsible for saving the declared prefix mappings before calling this method.
