gnu.xml.dom
public class DomDocument extends DomNode implements Document, DocumentTraversal
"Document" and "DocumentTraversal" implementation.
Note that when this checks names for legality, it uses an approximation of the XML rules, not the real ones. Specifically, it uses Unicode rules, with sufficient tweaks to pass a majority of basic XML conformance tests. (The huge XML character tables are hairy to implement.)

Constructor Summary | |
---|---|
DomDocument()
Constructs a Document node, associating it with an instance
of the DomImpl class.
| |
protected | DomDocument(DOMImplementation impl)
Constructs a Document node, associating it with the specified
implementation. |
Method Summary | |
---|---|
Node | appendChild(Node newChild)
DOM L1
Appends the specified node to this node's list of children,
enforcing the constraints that there be only one root element
and one document type child. |
Attr | createAttribute(String name)
DOM L1
Returns a newly created attribute with the specified name. |
Attr | createAttributeNS(String namespaceURI, String name)
DOM L2
Returns a newly created attribute with the specified name
and namespace information. |
CDATASection | createCDATASection(String value)
DOM L1
Returns a newly created CDATA section node with the specified value. |
CDATASection | createCDATASection(char[] buf, int off, int len)
Returns a newly created CDATA section node with the specified value. |
Comment | createComment(String value)
DOM L1
Returns a newly created comment node with the specified value. |
DocumentFragment | createDocumentFragment()
DOM L1
Returns a newly created document fragment. |
Element | createElement(String name)
DOM L1
Returns a newly created element with the specified name. |
Element | createElementNS(String namespaceURI, String name)
DOM L2
Returns a newly created element with the specified name
and namespace information. |
EntityReference | createEntityReference(String name)
DOM L1
Returns a newly created reference to the specified entity.
|
NodeIterator | createNodeIterator(Node root, int whatToShow, NodeFilter filter, boolean expandEntities)
DOM L2 (Traversal)
Returns a newly created node iterator. |
ProcessingInstruction | createProcessingInstruction(String target, String data)
DOM L1
Returns a newly created processing instruction. |
Text | createTextNode(String value)
DOM L1
Returns a newly created text node with the specified value. |
Text | createTextNode(char[] buf, int off, int len)
Returns a newly created text node with the specified value. |
TreeWalker | createTreeWalker(Node root, int whatToShow, NodeFilter filter, boolean entityReferenceExpansion) |
DocumentType | getDoctype()
DOM L1
Returns the document's DocumentType, or null. |
Element | getDocumentElement()
DOM L1
Returns the document's root element, or null. |
Element | getElementById(String id)
DOM L1 (relocated in DOM L2)
Returns the element with the specified "ID" attribute, or null.
|
DOMImplementation | getImplementation()
DOM L1
Returns the document's DOMImplementation. |
String | getNodeName()
DOM L1
Returns the constant "#document". |
short | getNodeType()
DOM L1
Returns the constant DOCUMENT_NODE. |
Node | importNode(Node copiedNode, boolean deep)
DOM L2
Makes a copy of the specified node, with all nodes "owned" by
this document and with children optionally copied. |
Node | insertBefore(Node newChild, Node refChild)
DOM L1
Inserts the specified node in this node's list of children,
enforcing the constraints that there be only one root element
and one document type child. |
boolean | isCheckingCharacters()
Returns true if certain expensive checks are performed.
|
Node | replaceChild(Node newChild, Node refChild)
DOM L1
Replaces the specified node in this node's list of children,
enforcing the constraints that there be only one root element
and one document type child. |
void | setCheckingCharacters(boolean value)
Controls whether certain expensive checks, duplicating those that
conformant XML parsers must perform, are made. |
static void | verifyXmlName(String name)
Throws a DOM exception if the specified name is not a legal XML 1.0
name. |
Note that this constructor disables character checking. It is normally used when connecting a DOM to an XML parser, and duplicating such checks is undesirable. When used for purposes other than connecting to a parser, you should re-enable that checking.

Returns null unless Consumer was used to populate internal DTD declaration information, using package-private APIs. If that internal DTD information is available, the document may be searched for the element with that ID.
Note that EntityReference nodes created through this method (either directly, or recursively) never have children, and that there is no portable way to associate them with such children.
Note also that there is no requirement that the specified node be associated with a different document. This differs from the cloneNode operation in that the node itself is not given an opportunity to participate, so that any information managed by node subclasses will be lost.
Throws: DomException INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR if the name isn't legal as an XML name.
