ProcessingInstructionImpl

public class ProcessingInstructionImpl extends CharacterDataImpl implements ProcessingInstruction
Processing Instructions (PIs) permit documents to carry processor-specific information alongside their actual content. PIs are most common in XML, but they are supported in HTML as well. This class inherits from CharacterDataImpl to reuse its setNodeValue method.

        super(ownerDoc, data);
        this.target = target;
Methods Summary
public java.lang.StringgetBaseURI()
DOM Level 3 WD - Experimental. Retrieve baseURI


        if (needsSyncData()) {
            synchronizeData();
        }
        return ownerNode.getBaseURI();
public java.lang.StringgetData()
A PI's data content tells the processor what we actually want it to do. It is defined slightly differently in HTML and XML.

In XML, the data begins with the non-whitespace character immediately after the target -- @see getTarget().

In HTML, the data begins with the character immediately after the "<?" token that begins the PI.

Note that getNodeValue is aliased to getData

        if (needsSyncData()) {
            synchronizeData();
        }
        return data;
public java.lang.StringgetNodeName()
Returns the target

        if (needsSyncData()) {
            synchronizeData();
        }
        return target;
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 Node.PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_NODE;
public java.lang.StringgetTarget()
A PI's "target" states what processor channel the PI's data should be directed to. It is defined differently in HTML and XML.

In XML, a PI's "target" is the first (whitespace-delimited) token following the " In HTML, target is always null.

Note that getNodeName is aliased to getTarget.

        if (needsSyncData()) {
            synchronizeData();
        }
        return target;
public voidsetData(java.lang.String data)
Change the data content of this PI. Note that setData is aliased to setNodeValue.

see
#getData().
throws
DOMException(NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR) if node is read-only.

        // Hand off to setNodeValue for code-reuse reasons (mutation
        // events, readonly protection, synchronizing, etc.)
        setNodeValue(data);
