public interface NodeEditVAL

This interface is similar to the [DOM Level 3 Core] Node interface, with methods for guided document editing.

See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Validation Specification.

Field Summary

Fields

Modifier and Type	Field and Description
static short	VAL_FALSE False if the node is invalid with regards to the operation, or if the operation cannot be done.
static short	VAL_INCOMPLETE Check if the node's immediate children are those expected by the content model.
static short	VAL_NS_WF Check if the node is namespace well-formed.
static short	VAL_SCHEMA Check if the node's entire subtree are those expected by the the content model.
static short	VAL_TRUE True if the node is valid with regards to the operation, or if the operation can be done.
static short	VAL_UNKNOWN The validity of the node is unknown.
static short	VAL_WF Check if the node is well-formed.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
short	canAppendChild(Node newChild) Determines whether the Node.appendChild operation would make this document not compliant with the VAL_INCOMPLETE validity type.
short	canInsertBefore(Node newChild, Node refChild) Determines whether the Node.insertBefore operation would make this document not compliant with the VAL_INCOMPLETE validity type.
short	canRemoveChild(Node oldChild) Determines whether the Node.removeChild operation would make this document not compliant with the VAL_INCOMPLETE validity type.
short	canReplaceChild(Node newChild, Node oldChild) Determines whether the Node.replaceChild operation would make this document not compliant with the VAL_INCOMPLETE validity type.
java.lang.String	getDefaultValue() The default value specified in an attribute or an element declaration or null if unspecified.
DOMStringList	getEnumeratedValues() A DOMStringList, as described in [DOM Level 3 Core] , of distinct values for an attribute or an element declaration or null if unspecified.
short	nodeValidity(short wFValidityCheckLevel) Determines if the node is valid relative to the validation type specified in valType.

Field Detail

VAL_WF

static final short VAL_WF

Check if the node is well-formed.

Constant Field Values

VAL_NS_WF

static final short VAL_NS_WF

Check if the node is namespace well-formed.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

VAL_INCOMPLETE

static final short VAL_INCOMPLETE

Check if the node's immediate children are those expected by the content model. This node's trailing required children could be missing. It includes VAL_NS_WF.

Constant Field Values

VAL_SCHEMA

static final short VAL_SCHEMA

Check if the node's entire subtree are those expected by the the content model. It includes VAL_NS_WF.

Constant Field Values

VAL_TRUE

static final short VAL_TRUE

True if the node is valid with regards to the operation, or if the operation can be done.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

VAL_FALSE

static final short VAL_FALSE

False if the node is invalid with regards to the operation, or if the operation cannot be done.

VAL_UNKNOWN

static final short VAL_UNKNOWN

The validity of the node is unknown.

Method Detail

getDefaultValue

java.lang.String getDefaultValue()

The default value specified in an attribute or an element declaration or null if unspecified. Elena wanted mention of XML Schema's canonical lexical representation here. Why?

getEnumeratedValues

DOMStringList getEnumeratedValues()

A DOMStringList, as described in [DOM Level 3 Core] , of distinct values for an attribute or an element declaration or null if unspecified. Elena wanted mention of XML Schema's canonical lexical representation here. Why?

canInsertBefore

short canInsertBefore(Node newChild,
                      Node refChild)

Determines whether the Node.insertBefore operation would make this document not compliant with the VAL_INCOMPLETE validity type.

Parameters:

newChild - Node to be inserted.

refChild - Reference Node.

Returns:

A validation state constant.

canRemoveChild

short canRemoveChild(Node oldChild)

Determines whether the Node.removeChild operation would make this document not compliant with the VAL_INCOMPLETE validity type.

Parameters:

oldChild - Node to be removed.

Returns:

A validation state constant.

canReplaceChild

short canReplaceChild(Node newChild,
                      Node oldChild)

Determines whether the Node.replaceChild operation would make this document not compliant with the VAL_INCOMPLETE validity type.

Parameters:

newChild - New Node.

oldChild - Node to be replaced.

Returns:

A validation state constant.

canAppendChild

short canAppendChild(Node newChild)

Determines whether the Node.appendChild operation would make this document not compliant with the VAL_INCOMPLETE validity type.

Parameters:

newChild - Node to be appended.

Returns:

A validation state constant.

nodeValidity

short nodeValidity(short wFValidityCheckLevel)

Determines if the node is valid relative to the validation type specified in valType. This operation doesn't normalize before checking if it is valid. To do so, one would need to explicitly call a normalize method. The difference between this method and the validateDocument method on the DocumentVAL interface is that validateDocument only checks to determine whether the entire document is valid.

Parameters:

wFValidityCheckLevel - Flag to tell at what level validity and well-formedness checking is done.

Returns:

A validation state constant.
