All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.lang.Cloneable, org.w3c.dom.Document, org.w3c.dom.events.EventTarget, org.w3c.dom.Node, org.w3c.dom.NodeList, java.io.Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:
  DocumentImpl

public class CoreDocumentImpl
extends ParentNode
implements org.w3c.dom.Document

The Document interface represents the entire HTML or XML document. Conceptually, it is the root of the document tree, and provides the primary access to the document's data.

Since elements, text nodes, comments, processing instructions, etc. cannot exist outside the context of a Document, the Document interface also contains the factory methods needed to create these objects. The Node objects created have a ownerDocument attribute which associates them with the Document within whose context they were created.

The CoreDocumentImpl class only implements the DOM Core. Additional modules are supported by the more complete DocumentImpl subclass.

Note: When any node in the document is serialized, the entire document is serialized along with it.

Since:
  PR-DOM-Level-1-19980818.

### userData

  Table for user data attached to this document nodes.

### identifiers

    protected java.util.Hashtable identifiers

  Identifiers.

### changes

    protected int changes

  Number of alterations made to this document since its creation. Serves as a "dirty bit" so that live objects such as NodeList can recognize when an alteration has been made and discard its cached state information.

  Any method that alters the tree structure MUST cause or be accompanied by a call to changed(), to inform it that any outstanding NodeLists may have to be updated.

  (Required because NodeList is simultaneously "live" and integer- indexed -- a bad decision in the DOM's design.)

  Note that changes which do not affect the tree's structure -- changing the node's name, for example -- do _not_ have to call changed().

  Alternative implementation would be to use a cryptographic Digest value rather than a count. This would have the advantage that "harmless" changes (those producing equal() trees) would not force NodeList to resynchronize. Disadvantage is that it's slightly more prone to "false negatives", though that's the difference between "wildly unlikely" and "absurdly unlikely". IF we start maintaining digests, we should consider taking advantage of them. Note: This used to be done a node basis, so that we knew what subtree changed. But since only DeepNodeList really use this today, the gain appears to be really small compared to the cost of having an int on every (parent) node plus having to walk up the tree all the way to the root to mark the branch as changed everytime a node is changed. So we now have a single counter global to the document. It means that some objects may flush their cache more often than necessary, but this makes nodes smaller and only the document needs to be marked as changed.

Method Detail

### getOwnerDocument

    public final org.w3c.dom.Document getOwnerDocument()

  Description copied from class: `ParentNode`
  Find the Document that this Node belongs to (the document in whose context the Node was created). The Node may or may not currently be part of that Document's actual contents.
  Specified by:
    `getOwnerDocument` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Overrides:
    `getOwnerDocument` in class `ParentNode`

### getNodeType

    public short getNodeType()

  Returns the node type.
  Specified by:
    `getNodeType` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Overrides:
    `getNodeType` in class `NodeImpl`

### getNodeName

    public java.lang.String getNodeName()

  Returns the node name.
  Specified by:
    `getNodeName` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Overrides:
    `getNodeName` in class `NodeImpl`

### cloneNode

    public org.w3c.dom.Node cloneNode(boolean deep)

  Deep-clone a document, including fixing ownerDoc for the cloned children. Note that this requires bypassing the WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR protection. I've chosen to implement it by calling importNode which is DOM Level 2.
  Specified by:
    `cloneNode` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Overrides:
    `cloneNode` in class `ParentNode`
  Parameters:
    `deep` - boolean, iff true replicate children
  Returns:
    org.w3c.dom.Node

### cloneNode

    protected void cloneNode(CoreDocumentImpl newdoc,
                             boolean deep)

  internal method to share code with subclass

### insertBefore

    public org.w3c.dom.Node insertBefore(org.w3c.dom.Node newChild,
                                         org.w3c.dom.Node refChild)
                                  throws org.w3c.dom.DOMException

  Since a Document may contain at most one top-level Element child, and at most one DocumentType declaraction, we need to subclass our add-children methods to implement this constraint. Since appendChild() is implemented as insertBefore(,null), altering the latter fixes both.

  While I'm doing so, I've taken advantage of the opportunity to cache documentElement and docType so we don't have to search for them. REVISIT: According to the spec it is not allowed to alter neither the document element nor the document type in any way

  Specified by:
    `insertBefore` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Overrides:
    `insertBefore` in class `ParentNode`
  Following copied from class: `org.apache.xerces.dom.ParentNode`
  Parameters:
    `newChild` - The Node to be moved to our subtree. As a convenience feature, inserting a DocumentNode will instead insert all its children.
    `refChild` - Current child which newChild should be placed immediately before. If refChild is null, the insertion occurs after all existing Nodes, like appendChild().
  Returns:
    newChild, in its new state (relocated, or emptied in the case of DocumentNode.)
  Throws:
    `DOMException(HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR)` - if newChild is of a type that shouldn't be a child of this node, or if newChild is an ancestor of this node.
    `DOMException(WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR)` - if newChild has a different owner document than we do.
    `DOMException(NOT_FOUND_ERR)` - if refChild is not a child of this node.
    `DOMException(NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR)` - if this node is read-only.

### removeChild

    public org.w3c.dom.Node removeChild(org.w3c.dom.Node oldChild)
                                 throws org.w3c.dom.DOMException

  Since insertBefore caches the docElement (and, currently, docType), removeChild has to know how to undo the cache REVISIT: According to the spec it is not allowed to alter neither the document element nor the document type in any way
  Specified by:
    `removeChild` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Overrides:
    `removeChild` in class `ParentNode`
  Following copied from class: `org.apache.xerces.dom.ParentNode`
  Returns:
    oldChild, in its new state (removed).
  Throws:
    `DOMException(NOT_FOUND_ERR)` - if oldChild is not a child of this node.
    `DOMException(NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR)` - if this node is read-only.

### replaceChild

    public org.w3c.dom.Node replaceChild(org.w3c.dom.Node newChild,
                                         org.w3c.dom.Node oldChild)
                                  throws org.w3c.dom.DOMException

  Since we cache the docElement (and, currently, docType), replaceChild has to update the cache REVISIT: According to the spec it is not allowed to alter neither the document element nor the document type in any way
  Specified by:
    `replaceChild` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Overrides:
    `replaceChild` in class `ParentNode`
  Following copied from class: `org.apache.xerces.dom.ParentNode`
  Returns:
    oldChild, in its new state (removed).
  Throws:
    `DOMException(HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR)` - if newChild is of a type that shouldn't be a child of this node, or if newChild is one of our ancestors.
    `DOMException(WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR)` - if newChild has a different owner document than we do.
    `DOMException(NOT_FOUND_ERR)` - if oldChild is not a child of this node.
    `DOMException(NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR)` - if this node is read-only.

### getTextContent

    public java.lang.String getTextContent()
                                    throws org.w3c.dom.DOMException

  Description copied from class: `NodeImpl`
  This attribute returns the text content of this node and its descendants. When it is defined to be null, setting it has no effect.

### load

    public boolean load(java.lang.String uri)

  DOM Level 3 WD - Experimental. Replaces the content of the document with the result of parsing the given URI. Invoking this method will either block the caller or return to the caller immediately depending on the value of the async attribute. Once the document is fully loaded a "load" event (as defined in [DOM Level 3 Events] , except that the `Event.targetNode` will be the document, not an element) will be dispatched on the document. If an error occurs, an implementation dependent "error" event will be dispatched on the document. If this method is called on a document that is currently loading, the current load is interrupted and the new URI load is initiated.
  When invoking this method the parameters used in the `DOMParser` interface are assumed to have their default values with the exception that the parameters `"entities"` , `"normalize-characters"`, `"check-character-normalization"` are set to `"false"`.
  The result of a call to this method is the same the result of a call to `DOMParser.parseWithContext` with an input stream referencing the URI that was passed to this call, the document as the context node, and the action `ACTION_REPLACE_CHILDREN`.
  Parameters:
    `uri` - The URI reference for the XML file to be loaded. If this is a relative URI, the base URI used by the implementation is implementation dependent.
  Returns:
    If async is set to `true` `load` returns `true` if the document load was successfully initiated. If an error occurred when initiating the document load, `load` returns `false`.If async is set to `false` `load` returns `true` if the document was successfully loaded and parsed. If an error occurred when either loading or parsing the URI, `load` returns `false`.

### loadXML

    public boolean loadXML(java.lang.String source)

  DOM Level 3 WD - Experimental. Replace the content of the document with the result of parsing the input string, this method is always synchronous.
  Parameters:
    `source` - A string containing an XML document.
  Returns:
    `true` if parsing the input string succeeded without errors, otherwise `false`.

  DOM Level 3 WD - Experimental. Save the document or the given node and all its descendants to a string (i.e. serialize the document or node).
  The parameters used in the `LSSerializer` interface are assumed to have their default values when invoking this method.
  The result of a call to this method is the same the result of a call to `LSSerializer.writeToString` with the document as the node to write.
  Parameters:
    `node` - Specifies what to serialize, if this parameter is `null` the whole document is serialized, if it's non-null the given node is serialized.
  Returns:
    The serialized document or `null` in case an error occurred.
  Throws:
    `org.w3c.dom.DOMException` - WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: Raised if the node passed in as the node parameter is from an other document.

    `localName` - The local name of the elements to match on. The special value "*" matches all local names.
  Returns:
    NodeList A new NodeList object containing all the matched Elements.

### setUserData

    public java.lang.Object setUserData(org.w3c.dom.Node n,
                                        java.lang.String key,
                                        java.lang.Object data,
                                        org.apache.xerces.dom3.UserDataHandler handler)

  Associate an object to a key on this node. The object can later be retrieved from this node by calling `getUserData` with the same key.
  Parameters:
    `n` - The node to associate the object to.
    `key` - The key to associate the object to.
    `data` - The object to associate to the given key, or `null` to remove any existing association to that key.
    `handler` - The handler to associate to that key, or `null`.
  Returns:
    Returns the `DOMObject` previously associated to the given key on this node, or `null` if there was none.
  Since:
    DOM Level 3 REVISIT: we could use a free list of UserDataRecord here

### getUserData

    public java.lang.Object getUserData(org.w3c.dom.Node n,
                                        java.lang.String key)

  Retrieves the object associated to a key on a this node. The object must first have been set to this node by calling `setUserData` with the same key.
  Parameters:
    `n` - The node the object is associated to.
    `key` - The key the object is associated to.
  Returns:
    Returns the `DOMObject` associated to the given key on this node, or `null` if there was none.
  Since:
    DOM Level 3

### checkNamespaceWF

    protected final void checkNamespaceWF(java.lang.String qname,
                                          int colon1,
                                          int colon2)

  Call user data handlers to let them know the nodes they are related to are being deleted. The alternative would be to do that on Node but because the nodes are used as the keys we have a reference to them that prevents them from being gc'ed until the document is. At the same time, doing it here has the advantage of avoiding a finalize() method on Node, which would affect all nodes and not just the ones that have a user data.

### checkDOMNSErr

    protected final void checkDOMNSErr(java.lang.String prefix,
                                       java.lang.String namespace)

### checkQName

    protected final void checkQName(java.lang.String prefix,
                                    java.lang.String local)

  Checks if the given qualified name is legal with respect to the version of XML to which this document must conform.
  Parameters:
    `prefix` - prefix of qualified name
    `local` - local part of qualified name

### setUserData

    protected void setUserData(NodeImpl n,
                               java.lang.Object data)

  NON-DOM: kept for backward compatibility Store user data related to a given node This is a place where we could use weak references! Indeed, the node here won't be GC'ed as long as some user data is attached to it, since the userData table will have a reference to the node.

### getUserData

    protected java.lang.Object getUserData(NodeImpl n)

  NON-DOM: kept for backward compatibility Retreive user data related to a given node

### addEventListener

    protected void addEventListener(NodeImpl node,
