Interface Node

All Superinterfaces:: org.w3c.dom.Node

All Known Subinterfaces:: Detail, DetailEntry, SOAPBody, SOAPBodyElement, SOAPElement, SOAPEnvelope, SOAPFault, SOAPFaultElement, SOAPHeader, SOAPHeaderElement, Text

public interface Node
extends org.w3c.dom.Node

A representation of a node (element) in a DOM representation of an XML document that provides some tree manipulation methods. This interface provides methods for getting the value of a node, for getting and setting the parent of a node, and for removing a node.

Method Summary

void detachNode()
          Removes this Node object from the tree.

SOAPElement getParentElement()
          Returns the parent element of this Node object.

java.lang.String getValue()
          Returns the the value of the immediate child of this Node object if a child exists and its value is text.

void recycleNode()
          Notifies the implementation that this Node object is no longer being used by the application and that the implementation is free to reuse this object for nodes that may be created later.

void setParentElement(SOAPElement parent)
          Sets the parent of this Node object to the given SOAPElement object.

void setValue(java.lang.String value)
          If this is a Text node then this method will set its value, otherwise it sets the value of the immediate (Text) child of this node.

Method Detail

getValue

public java.lang.String getValue()

Returns the the value of the immediate child of this Node object if a child exists and its value is text.

setParentElement

public void setParentElement(SOAPElement parent)
                      throws SOAPException

Sets the parent of this Node object to the given SOAPElement object.

getParentElement

public SOAPElement getParentElement()

Returns the parent element of this Node object. This method can throw an UnsupportedOperationException if the tree is not kept in memory.

detachNode

public void detachNode()

Removes this Node object from the tree. Once removed, this node can be garbage collected if there are no application references to it.

recycleNode

public void recycleNode()

Notifies the implementation that this Node object is no longer being used by the application and that the implementation is free to reuse this object for nodes that may be created later.

Calling the method recycleNode implies that the method detachNode has been called previously.

setValue

public void setValue(java.lang.String value)

If this is a Text node then this method will set its value, otherwise it sets the value of the immediate (Text) child of this node. The value of the immediate child of this node can be set only if, there is one child node and that node is a Text node, or if there are no children in which case a child Text node will be created.
