getParent

public Parent getParent()

Return this child's parent, or null if this child is currently not attached. The parent can be either an Element or a Document.

---

getParentElement

public Element getParentElement()

A convenience method that returns any parent element for this element, or null if the element is unattached or is a root element. This was the original behavior of getParent() in JDOM Beta 9 which began returning Parent in Beta 10. This method provides a convenient upgrade path for JDOM Beta 10 and 1.0 users.

Sets the parent of this Content. The caller is responsible for removing any pre-existing parentage.

Returns a deep, unattached copy of this child and its descendants detached from any parent or document.

---

equals

public final boolean equals(java.lang.Object ob)
