DeferredTextImpl(DeferredDocumentImpl ownerDocument,
    int nodeIndex)

    // Constructors

        fNodeIndex = nodeIndex;
        needsSyncData(true);
}

This is the deferred constructor. Only the fNodeIndex is given here. All other data, can be requested from the ownerDocument via the index.

 public int getNodeIndex() 
{
        return fNodeIndex;
}

Returns the node index.

 protected  void synchronizeData() 
{
        // no need for future synchronizations
        needsSyncData(false);
        // get initial text value
        DeferredDocumentImpl ownerDocument =
            (DeferredDocumentImpl) this.ownerDocument();
        data = ownerDocument.getNodeValueString(fNodeIndex);
        // NOTE: We used to normalize adjacent text node values here.
        //       This code has moved to the DeferredDocumentImpl
        //       getNodeValueString() method. -Ac
        // ignorable whitespace
        isIgnorableWhitespace(ownerDocument.getNodeExtra(fNodeIndex) == 1);
}

Synchronizes the underlying data.
