ChildNode

• java.lang.Object
  • NodeImpl

Fields Summary
static final long	serialVersionUID Serialization version.
protected ChildNode	previousSibling Previous sibling.
protected ChildNode	nextSibling Next sibling.

Constructors Summary
protected ChildNode(CoreDocumentImpl ownerDocument) No public constructor; only subclasses of Node should be instantiated, and those normally via a Document's factory methods Every Node knows what Document it belongs to. // // Constructors // super(ownerDocument);
public ChildNode() Constructor for serialization.

Methods Summary
public org.w3c.dom.Node	cloneNode(boolean deep) Returns a duplicate of a given node. You can consider this a generic "copy constructor" for nodes. The newly returned object should be completely independent of the source object's subtree, so changes in one after the clone has been made will not affect the other. Note: since we never have any children deep is meaningless here, ParentNode overrides this behavior. see ParentNode Example: Cloning a Text node will copy both the node and the text it contains. Example: Cloning something that has children -- Element or Attr, for example -- will _not_ clone those children unless a "deep clone" has been requested. A shallow clone of an Attr node will yield an empty Attr of the same name. NOTE: Clones will always be read/write, even if the node being cloned is read-only, to permit applications using only the DOM API to obtain editable copies of locked portions of the tree. ChildNode newnode = (ChildNode) super.cloneNode(deep); // Need to break the association w/ original kids newnode.previousSibling = null; newnode.nextSibling = null; newnode.isFirstChild(false); return newnode;
public org.w3c.dom.Node	getNextSibling() The next child of this node's parent, or null if none return nextSibling;
public org.w3c.dom.Node	getParentNode() Returns the parent node of this node // if we have an owner, ownerNode is our parent, otherwise it's // our ownerDocument and we don't have a parent return isOwned() ? ownerNode : null;
public org.w3c.dom.Node	getPreviousSibling() The previous child of this node's parent, or null if none // if we are the firstChild, previousSibling actually refers to our // parent's lastChild, but we hide that return isFirstChild() ? null : previousSibling;
final NodeImpl	parentNode() // if we have an owner, ownerNode is our parent, otherwise it's // our ownerDocument and we don't have a parent return isOwned() ? ownerNode : null;
final org.apache.xerces.dom.ChildNode	previousSibling() // if we are the firstChild, previousSibling actually refers to our // parent's lastChild, but we hide that return isFirstChild() ? null : previousSibling;
