ElementDefinitionImpl

public class ElementDefinitionImpl extends ParentNode
NON-DOM CLASS: Describe one of the Elements (and its associated Attributes) defined in this Document Type.

I've included this in Level 1 purely as an anchor point for default attributes. In Level 2 it should enable the ChildRule support.

Fields Summary
static final long
serialVersionUID
Serialization version.
protected String
name
Element definition name.
protected NamedNodeMapImpl
attributes
Default attributes.
Constructors Summary
public ElementDefinitionImpl(CoreDocumentImpl ownerDocument, String name)
Factory constructor.

    	super(ownerDocument);
        this.name = name;
        attributes = new NamedNodeMapImpl(ownerDocument);
Methods Summary
public org.w3c.dom.NodecloneNode(boolean deep)
Replicate this object.


    	ElementDefinitionImpl newnode =
            (ElementDefinitionImpl) super.cloneNode(deep);
    	// NamedNodeMap must be explicitly replicated to avoid sharing
    	newnode.attributes = attributes.cloneMap(newnode);
    	return newnode;
public org.w3c.dom.NamedNodeMapgetAttributes()
Query the attributes defined on this Element.

In the base implementation this Map simply contains Attribute objects representing the defaults. In a more serious implementation, it would contain AttributeDefinitionImpl objects for all declared Attributes, indicating which are Default, DefaultFixed, Implicit and/or Required.

return
org.w3c.dom.NamedNodeMap containing org.w3c.dom.Attribute


        if (needsSyncChildren()) {
            synchronizeChildren();
        }
    	return attributes;
public java.lang.StringgetNodeName()
Returns the element definition name

        if (needsSyncData()) {
            synchronizeData();
        }
        return name;
public shortgetNodeType()
A short integer indicating what type of node this is. The named constants for this value are defined in the org.w3c.dom.Node interface.

        return NodeImpl.ELEMENT_DEFINITION_NODE;
