Constructors Summary

Methods Summary
public void	appendChild(int newChild, boolean clone, boolean cloneDepth) Append a child to "the end of the document". Please note that the node is always cloned in a base DTM, since our basic behavior is immutable so nodes can't be removed from their previous location. %REVIEW% DTM maintains an insertion cursor which performs a depth-first tree walk as nodes come in, and this operation is really equivalent to: insertionCursor.appendChild(document.importNode(newChild))) where the insert point is the last element that was appended (or the last one popped back to by an end-element operation). param newChild Must be a valid new node handle. param clone true if the child should be cloned into the document. param cloneDepth if the clone argument is true, specifies that the clone should include all it's children.
public void	appendTextChild(java.lang.String str) Append a text node child that will be constructed from a string, to the end of the document. Behavior is otherwise like appendChild(). param str Non-null reference to a string.
public void	dispatchCharactersEvents(int nodeHandle, org.xml.sax.ContentHandler ch, boolean normalize) Directly call the characters method on the passed ContentHandler for the string-value of the given node (see http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#data-model for the definition of a node's string-value). Multiple calls to the ContentHandler's characters methods may well occur for a single call to this method. param nodeHandle The node ID. param ch A non-null reference to a ContentHandler. param normalize true if the content should be normalized according to the rules for the XPath normalize-space function. throws org.xml.sax.SAXException
public void	dispatchToEvents(int nodeHandle, org.xml.sax.ContentHandler ch) Directly create SAX parser events representing the XML content of a DTM subtree. This is a "serialize" operation. param nodeHandle The node ID. param ch A non-null reference to a ContentHandler. throws org.xml.sax.SAXException
public void	documentRegistration() As the DTM is registered with the DTMManager, this method will be called. This will give the DTM implementation a chance to initialize any subsystems that are required to build the DTM
public void	documentRelease() As documents are released from the DTMManager, the DTM implementation will be notified of the event. This will allow the DTM implementation to shutdown any subsystem activity that may of been assoiated with the active DTM Implementation.
public int	getAttributeNode(int elementHandle, java.lang.String namespaceURI, java.lang.String name) Retrieves an attribute node by local name and namespace URI %TBD% Note that we currently have no way to support the DOM's old getAttribute() call, which accesses only the qname. param elementHandle Handle of the node upon which to look up this attribute. param namespaceURI The namespace URI of the attribute to retrieve, or null. param name The local name of the attribute to retrieve. return The attribute node handle with the specified name ( nodeName) or DTM.NULL if there is no such attribute.
public com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.dtm.DTMAxisIterator	getAxisIterator(int axis) This is a shortcut to the iterators that implement XPath axes. Returns a bare-bones iterator that must be initialized with a start node (using iterator.setStartNode()). param axis One of Axes.ANCESTORORSELF, etc. return A DTMAxisIterator, or null if the givin axis isn't supported.
public com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.dtm.DTMAxisTraverser	getAxisTraverser(int axis) This returns a stateless "traverser", that can navigate over an XPath axis, though not in document order. param axis One of Axes.ANCESTORORSELF, etc. return A DTMAxisIterator, or null if the givin axis isn't supported.
public org.xml.sax.ContentHandler	getContentHandler() Return this DTM's content handler, if it has one. return null if this model doesn't respond to SAX events.
public org.xml.sax.DTDHandler	getDTDHandler() Return this DTM's DTDHandler, if it has one. return null if this model doesn't respond to SAX dtd events.
public org.xml.sax.ext.DeclHandler	getDeclHandler() Return this DTM's DeclHandler, if it has one. return null if this model doesn't respond to SAX Decl events.
public int	getDocument() Given a DTM which contains only a single document, find the Node Handle of the Document node. Note that if the DTM is configured so it can contain multiple documents, this call will return the Document currently under construction -- but may return null if it's between documents. Generally, you should use getOwnerDocument(nodeHandle) or getDocumentRoot(nodeHandle) instead. return int Node handle of document, or DTM.NULL if a shared DTM can not tell us which Document is currently active.
public boolean	getDocumentAllDeclarationsProcessed() Return an indication of whether the processor has read the complete DTD. Its value is a boolean. If it is false, then certain properties (indicated in their descriptions below) may be unknown. If it is true, those properties are never unknown. return true if all declarations were processed; false otherwise.
public java.lang.String	getDocumentBaseURI() Return the base URI of the document entity. If it is not known (because the document was parsed from a socket connection or from standard input, for example), the value of this property is unknown. return the document base URI String object or null if unknown.
public java.lang.String	getDocumentEncoding(int nodeHandle) Return the name of the character encoding scheme in which the document entity is expressed. param nodeHandle The node id, which can be any valid node handle. return the document encoding String object.
public int	getDocumentRoot(int nodeHandle) Given a node handle, find the owning document node. param nodeHandle the id of the node. return int Node handle of owning document, or the node itself if it was a Document. (Note difference from DOM, where getOwnerDocument returns null for the Document node.) see #getOwnerDocument(int nodeHandle)
public java.lang.String	getDocumentStandalone(int nodeHandle) Return an indication of the standalone status of the document, either "yes" or "no". This property is derived from the optional standalone document declaration in the XML declaration at the beginning of the document entity, and has no value if there is no standalone document declaration. param nodeHandle The node id, which can be any valid node handle. return the document standalone String object, either "yes", "no", or null.
public java.lang.String	getDocumentSystemIdentifier(int nodeHandle) Return the system identifier of the document entity. If it is not known, the value of this property is null. param nodeHandle The node id, which can be any valid node handle. return the system identifier String object or null if unknown.
public java.lang.String	getDocumentTypeDeclarationPublicIdentifier() Return the public identifier of the external subset, normalized as described in 4.2.2 External Entities [XML]. If there is no external subset or if it has no public identifier, this property has no value. return the public identifier String object, or null if there is none.
public java.lang.String	getDocumentTypeDeclarationSystemIdentifier() A document type declaration information item has the following properties: 1. [system identifier] The system identifier of the external subset, if it exists. Otherwise this property has no value. return the system identifier String object, or null if there is none.
public java.lang.String	getDocumentVersion(int documentHandle) Return a string representing the XML version of the document. This property is derived from the XML declaration optionally present at the beginning of the document entity, and has no value if there is no XML declaration. param documentHandle the document handle return the document version String object
public int	getElementById(java.lang.String elementId) Returns the Element whose ID is given by elementId. If no such element exists, returns DTM.NULL. Behavior is not defined if more than one element has this ID. Attributes (including those with the name "ID") are not of type ID unless so defined by DTD/Schema information available to the DTM implementation. Implementations that do not know whether attributes are of type ID or not are expected to return DTM.NULL. %REVIEW% Presumably IDs are still scoped to a single document, and this operation searches only within a single document, right? Wouldn't want collisions between DTMs in the same process. param elementId The unique id value for an element. return The handle of the matching element.
public org.xml.sax.EntityResolver	getEntityResolver() Return this DTM's EntityResolver, if it has one. return null if this model doesn't respond to SAX entity ref events.
public org.xml.sax.ErrorHandler	getErrorHandler() Return this DTM's ErrorHandler, if it has one. return null if this model doesn't respond to SAX error events.
public int	getExpandedTypeID(int nodeHandle) Given a node handle, return an ID that represents the node's expanded name. param nodeHandle The handle to the node in question. return the expanded-name id of the node.
public int	getExpandedTypeID(java.lang.String namespace, java.lang.String localName, int type) Given an expanded name, return an ID. If the expanded-name does not exist in the internal tables, the entry will be created, and the ID will be returned. Any additional nodes that are created that have this expanded name will use this ID. NEEDSDOC @param namespace NEEDSDOC @param localName NEEDSDOC @param type return the expanded-name id of the node.
public int	getFirstAttribute(int nodeHandle) Given a node handle, get the index of the node's first attribute. param nodeHandle int Handle of the node. return Handle of first attribute, or DTM.NULL to indicate none exists.
public int	getFirstChild(int nodeHandle) Given a node handle, get the handle of the node's first child. param nodeHandle int Handle of the node. return int DTM node-number of first child, or DTM.NULL to indicate none exists.
public int	getFirstNamespaceNode(int nodeHandle, boolean inScope) Given a node handle, get the index of the node's first namespace node. param nodeHandle handle to node, which should probably be an element node, but need not be. param inScope true if all namespaces in scope should be returned, false if only the node's own namespace declarations should be returned. return handle of first namespace, or DTM.NULL to indicate none exists.
public int	getLastChild(int nodeHandle) Given a node handle, get the handle of the node's last child. param nodeHandle int Handle of the node. return int Node-number of last child, or DTM.NULL to indicate none exists.
public short	getLevel(int nodeHandle) Get the depth level of this node in the tree (equals 1 for a parentless node). param nodeHandle The node id. return the number of ancestors, plus one xsl.usage internal
public org.xml.sax.ext.LexicalHandler	getLexicalHandler() Return this DTM's lexical handler, if it has one. %REVIEW% Should this return null if constrution already done/begun? return null if this model doesn't respond to lexical SAX events.
public java.lang.String	getLocalName(int nodeHandle) Given a node handle, return its DOM-style localname. (As defined in Namespaces, this is the portion of the name after the prefix, if present, or the whole node name if no prefix exists) param nodeHandle the id of the node. return String Local name of this node.
public java.lang.String	getLocalNameFromExpandedNameID(int ExpandedNameID) Given an expanded-name ID, return the local name part. param ExpandedNameID an ID that represents an expanded-name. return String Local name of this node.
public java.lang.String	getNamespaceFromExpandedNameID(int ExpandedNameID) Given an expanded-name ID, return the namespace URI part. param ExpandedNameID an ID that represents an expanded-name. return String URI value of this node's namespace, or null if no namespace was resolved.
public java.lang.String	getNamespaceURI(int nodeHandle) Given a node handle, return its DOM-style namespace URI (As defined in Namespaces, this is the declared URI which this node's prefix -- or default in lieu thereof -- was mapped to.) param nodeHandle the id of the node. return String URI value of this node's namespace, or null if no namespace was resolved.
public int	getNextAttribute(int nodeHandle) Given a node handle, advance to the next attribute. If an element, we advance to its first attribute; if an attr, we advance to the next attr of the same element. param nodeHandle int Handle of the node. return int DTM node-number of the resolved attr, or DTM.NULL to indicate none exists.
public int	getNextNamespaceNode(int baseHandle, int namespaceHandle, boolean inScope) Given a namespace handle, advance to the next namespace in the same scope (local or local-plus-inherited, as selected by getFirstNamespaceNode) param baseHandle handle to original node from where the first child was relative to (needed to return nodes in document order). param namespaceHandle handle to node which must be of type NAMESPACE_NODE. NEEDSDOC @param inScope return handle of next namespace, or DTM.NULL to indicate none exists.
public int	getNextSibling(int nodeHandle) Given a node handle, advance to its next sibling. param nodeHandle int Handle of the node. return int Node-number of next sibling, or DTM.NULL to indicate none exists.
public org.w3c.dom.Node	getNode(int nodeHandle) Return an DOM node for the given node. param nodeHandle The node ID. return A node representation of the DTM node.
public java.lang.String	getNodeName(int nodeHandle) Given a node handle, return its DOM-style node name. This will include names such as #text or #document. param nodeHandle the id of the node. return String Name of this node, which may be an empty string. %REVIEW% Document when empty string is possible...
public java.lang.String	getNodeNameX(int nodeHandle) Given a node handle, return the XPath node name. This should be the name as described by the XPath data model, NOT the DOM-style name. param nodeHandle the id of the node. return String Name of this node.
public short	getNodeType(int nodeHandle) Given a node handle, return its DOM-style node type. %REVIEW% Generally, returning short is false economy. Return int? param nodeHandle The node id. return int Node type, as per the DOM's Node._NODE constants.
public java.lang.String	getNodeValue(int nodeHandle) Given a node handle, return its node value. This is mostly as defined by the DOM, but may ignore some conveniences. param nodeHandle The node id. return String Value of this node, or null if not meaningful for this node type.
public int	getOwnerDocument(int nodeHandle) Given a node handle, find the owning document node. This version mimics the behavior of the DOM call by the same name. param nodeHandle the id of the node. return int Node handle of owning document, or DTM.NULL if the node was a Document. see #getDocumentRoot(int nodeHandle)
public int	getParent(int nodeHandle) Given a node handle, find its parent node. param nodeHandle the id of the node. return int Node handle of parent, or DTM.NULL to indicate none exists.
public java.lang.String	getPrefix(int nodeHandle) Given a namespace handle, return the prefix that the namespace decl is mapping. Given a node handle, return the prefix used to map to the namespace. (As defined in Namespaces, this is the portion of the name before any colon character). %REVIEW% Are you sure you want "" for no prefix? param nodeHandle the id of the node. return String prefix of this node's name, or "" if no explicit namespace prefix was given.
public int	getPreviousSibling(int nodeHandle) Given a node handle, find its preceeding sibling. WARNING: DTM implementations may be asymmetric; in some, this operation has been resolved by search, and is relatively expensive. param nodeHandle the id of the node. return int Node-number of the previous sib, or DTM.NULL to indicate none exists.
public javax.xml.transform.SourceLocator	getSourceLocatorFor(int node) Get the location of a node in the source document. param node an int value return a SourceLocator value or null if no location is available
public com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.utils.XMLString	getStringValue(int nodeHandle) Get the string-value of a node as a String object (see http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#data-model for the definition of a node's string-value). param nodeHandle The node ID. return A string object that represents the string-value of the given node.
public char[]	getStringValueChunk(int nodeHandle, int chunkIndex, int[] startAndLen) Get a character array chunk in the string-value of a node. (see http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#data-model for the definition of a node's string-value). Note that a single text node may have multiple text chunks. param nodeHandle The node ID. param chunkIndex Which chunk to get. param startAndLen A two-integer array which, upon return, WILL BE FILLED with values representing the chunk's start position within the returned character buffer and the length of the chunk. return The character array buffer within which the chunk occurs, setting startAndLen's contents as a side-effect.
public int	getStringValueChunkCount(int nodeHandle) Get number of character array chunks in the string-value of a node. (see http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#data-model for the definition of a node's string-value). Note that a single text node may have multiple text chunks. param nodeHandle The node ID. return number of character array chunks in the string-value of a node.
public com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.dtm.DTMAxisIterator	getTypedAxisIterator(int axis, int type) Get an iterator that can navigate over an XPath Axis, predicated by the extended type ID. param axis param type An extended type ID. return A DTMAxisIterator, or null if the givin axis isn't supported.
public java.lang.String	getUnparsedEntityURI(java.lang.String name) The getUnparsedEntityURI function returns the URI of the unparsed entity with the specified name in the same document as the context node (see [3.3 Unparsed Entities]). It returns the empty string if there is no such entity. XML processors may choose to use the System Identifier (if one is provided) to resolve the entity, rather than the URI in the Public Identifier. The details are dependent on the processor, and we would have to support some form of plug-in resolver to handle this properly. Currently, we simply return the System Identifier if present, and hope that it a usable URI or that our caller can map it to one. %REVIEW% Resolve Public Identifiers... or consider changing function name. If we find a relative URI reference, XML expects it to be resolved in terms of the base URI of the document. The DOM doesn't do that for us, and it isn't entirely clear whether that should be done here; currently that's pushed up to a higher level of our application. (Note that DOM Level 1 didn't store the document's base URI.) %REVIEW% Consider resolving Relative URIs. (The DOM's statement that "An XML processor may choose to completely expand entities before the structure model is passed to the DOM" refers only to parsed entities, not unparsed, and hence doesn't affect this function.) param name A string containing the Entity Name of the unparsed entity. return String containing the URI of the Unparsed Entity, or an empty string if no such entity exists.
public boolean	hasChildNodes(int nodeHandle) Given a node handle, test if it has child nodes. %REVIEW% This is obviously useful at the DOM layer, where it would permit testing this without having to create a proxy node. It's less useful in the DTM API, where (dtm.getFirstChild(nodeHandle)!=DTM.NULL) is just as fast and almost as self-evident. But it's a convenience, and eases porting of DOM code to DTM. param nodeHandle int Handle of the node. return int true if the given node has child nodes.
public boolean	isAttributeSpecified(int attributeHandle) 5. [specified] A flag indicating whether this attribute was actually specified in the start-tag of its element, or was defaulted from the DTD (or schema). param attributeHandle The attribute handle return true if the attribute was specified; false if it was defaulted or the handle doesn't refer to an attribute node.
public boolean	isCharacterElementContentWhitespace(int nodeHandle) 2. [element content whitespace] A boolean indicating whether a text node represents white space appearing within element content (see [XML], 2.10 "White Space Handling"). Note that validating XML processors are required by XML 1.0 to provide this information... but that DOM Level 2 did not support it, since it depends on knowledge of the DTD which DOM2 could not guarantee would be available. If there is no declaration for the containing element, an XML processor must assume that the whitespace could be meaningful and return false. If no declaration has been read, but the [all declarations processed] property of the document information item is false (so there may be an unread declaration), then the value of this property is indeterminate for white space characters and should probably be reported as false. It is always false for text nodes that contain anything other than (or in addition to) white space. Note too that it always returns false for non-Text nodes. %REVIEW% Joe wants to rename this isWhitespaceInElementContent() for clarity param nodeHandle the node ID. return true if the node definitely represents whitespace in element content; false otherwise.
public boolean	isDocumentAllDeclarationsProcessed(int documentHandle) 10. [all declarations processed] This property is not strictly speaking part of the infoset of the document. Rather it is an indication of whether the processor has read the complete DTD. Its value is a boolean. If it is false, then certain properties (indicated in their descriptions below) may be unknown. If it is true, those properties are never unknown. param documentHandle A node handle that must identify a document. return true if all declarations were processed; false otherwise.
public boolean	isNodeAfter(int firstNodeHandle, int secondNodeHandle) Figure out whether nodeHandle2 should be considered as being later in the document than nodeHandle1, in Document Order as defined by the XPath model. This may not agree with the ordering defined by other XML applications. There are some cases where ordering isn't defined, and neither are the results of this function -- though we'll generally return true. %REVIEW% Make sure this does the right thing with attribute nodes!!! %REVIEW% Consider renaming for clarity. Perhaps isDocumentOrder(a,b)? param firstNodeHandle DOM Node to perform position comparison on. param secondNodeHandle DOM Node to perform position comparison on. return false if secondNode comes before firstNode, otherwise return true. You can think of this as (firstNode.documentOrderPosition <= secondNode.documentOrderPosition).
public boolean	isSupported(java.lang.String feature, java.lang.String version) Tests whether DTM DOM implementation implements a specific feature and that feature is supported by this node. param feature The name of the feature to test. param version This is the version number of the feature to test. If the version is not specified, supporting any version of the feature will cause the method to return true. return Returns true if the specified feature is supported on this node, false otherwise.
public void	migrateTo(com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.dtm.DTMManager manager) Migrate a DTM built with an old DTMManager to a new DTMManager. After the migration, the new DTMManager will treat the DTM as one that is built by itself. This is used to support DTM sharing between multiple transformations. param manager the DTMManager
public boolean	needsTwoThreads() return true iff we're building this model incrementally (eg we're partnered with a CoroutineParser) and thus require that the transformation and the parse run simultaneously. Guidance to the DTMManager.
public void	setDocumentBaseURI(java.lang.String baseURI) Set the base URI of the document entity. param baseURI the document base URI String object or null if unknown.
public void	setFeature(java.lang.String featureId, boolean state) Set an implementation dependent feature. %REVIEW% Do we really expect to set features on DTMs? param featureId A feature URL. param state true if this feature should be on, false otherwise.
public void	setProperty(java.lang.String property, java.lang.Object value) Set a run time property for this DTM instance. param property a String value param value an Object value
public boolean	supportsPreStripping() Return true if the xsl:strip-space or xsl:preserve-space was processed during construction of the document contained in this DTM. NEEDSDOC ($objectName$) @return
