NodeEditAS

public interface NodeEditAS

deprecated: This interface extends a Node from with additional methods for guided document editing. The expectation is that an instance of the DOMImplementationAS interface can be obtained by using binding-specific casting methods on an instance of the DOMImplementation interface when the DOM implementation supports the feature "AS-DOC".
See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Abstract Schemas and Load and Save Specification.

Fields Summary
public static final short
WF_CHECK
Check for well-formedness of this node.
public static final short
NS_WF_CHECK
Check for namespace well-formedness includes WF_CHECK.
public static final short
PARTIAL_VALIDITY_CHECK
Checks for whether this node is partially valid. It includes NS_WF_CHECK.
public static final short
STRICT_VALIDITY_CHECK
Checks for strict validity of the node with respect to active AS which by definition includes NS_WF_CHECK.
Constructors Summary
Methods Summary
public boolean canAppendChild(org.w3c.dom.Node newChild)
Has the same arguments as AppendChild.
param
newChild Node to be appended.
return
true if no reason it can't be done; false if it can't be done.
public boolean canInsertBefore(org.w3c.dom.Node newChild, org.w3c.dom.Node refChild)
Determines whether the insertBefore operation from the Node interface would make this document invalid with respect to the currently active AS. Describe "valid" when referring to partially completed documents.
param
newChild Node to be inserted.
param
refChild Reference Node.
return
true if no reason it can't be done; false if it can't be done.
public boolean canRemoveChild(org.w3c.dom.Node oldChild)
Has the same arguments as RemoveChild.
param
oldChild Node to be removed.
return
true if no reason it can't be done; false if it can't be done.
public boolean canReplaceChild(org.w3c.dom.Node newChild, org.w3c.dom.Node oldChild)
Has the same arguments as ReplaceChild.
param
newChild New Node.
param
oldChild Node to be replaced.
return
true if no reason it can't be done; false if it can't be done.
public boolean isNodeValid(boolean deep, short wFValidityCheckLevel)
Determines if the Node is valid relative to currently active AS. It doesn't normalize before checking if the document is valid. To do so, one would need to explicitly call a normalize method.
param
deep Setting the deep flag on causes the isNodeValid method to check for the whole subtree of the current node for validity. Setting it to false only checks the current node and its immediate child nodes. The validate method on the DocumentAS interface, however, checks to determine whether the entire document is valid.
param
wFValidityCheckLevel Flag to tell at what level validity and well-formedness checking is done.
return
true if the node is valid/well-formed in the current context and check level defined by wfValidityCheckLevel, false if not.
exception
DOMASException NO_AS_AVAILABLE: Raised if the DocumentEditAS related to this node does not have any active ASModel and wfValidityCheckLevel is set to PARTIAL or STRICT_VALIDITY_CHECK .
