## org.apache.xml.dtm.ref
Class DTMDocumentImpl

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.xml.dtm.ref.DTMDocumentImpl

All Implemented Interfaces:
  ContentHandler, DTM, LexicalHandler

public class DTMDocumentImpl
extends java.lang.Object
implements DTM, ContentHandler, LexicalHandler

This is the implementation of the DTM document interface. It receives requests from an XML content handler similar to that of an XML DOM or SAX parser to store information from the xml document in an array based dtm table structure. This informtion is used later for document navigation, query, and SAX event dispatch functions. The DTM can also be used directly as a document composition model for an application. The requests received are:

- initiating DTM to set the doc handle
- resetting DTM for data structure reuse
- hinting the end of document to adjust the end of data structure pointers
- createnodes (element, comment, text, attribute, ....)
- hinting the end of an element to patch parent and siblings
- setting application provided symbol name stringpool data structures

State: In progress!!

%REVIEW% I _think_ the SAX convention is that "no namespace" is expressed as "" rather than as null (which is the DOM's convention). What should DTM expect? What should it do with the other?

Origin: the implemention is a composite logic based on the DTM of XalanJ1 and DocImpl, DocumentImpl, ElementImpl, TextImpl, etc. of XalanJ2

Constructor Detail

### DTMDocumentImpl

    public DTMDocumentImpl(DTMManager mgr,
                           int documentNumber,
                           DTMWSFilter whiteSpaceFilter,
                           XMLStringFactory xstringfactory)

  Construct a DTM.

Parameters:
  `documentNumber` - the ID number assigned to this document. It will be shifted up into the high bits and returned as part of all node ID numbers, so those IDs indicate which document they came from as well as a location within the document. It is the DTMManager's responsibility to assign a unique number to each document.

Method Detail

### setIncrementalSAXSource

    public void setIncrementalSAXSource(IncrementalSAXSource source)

  Bind a IncrementalSAXSource to this DTM. If we discover we need nodes that have not yet been built, we will ask this object to send us more events, and it will manage interactions with its data sources. Note that we do not actually build the IncrementalSAXSource, since we don't know what source it's reading from, what thread that source will run in, or when it will run.

  Parameters:
    `source` - The IncrementalSAXSource that we want to recieve events from on demand.

### setFeature

    public void setFeature(java.lang.String featureId,
                           boolean state)

  Specified by:
    `getContentHandler` in interface `DTM`
  Returns:
    null if this model doesn't respond to SAX events, "this" if the DTM object has a built-in SAX ContentHandler, the IncrementalSAXSource if we're bound to one and should receive the SAX stream via it for incremental build purposes...

### getLexicalHandler

    public LexicalHandler getLexicalHandler()

  Specified by:
    `getLexicalHandler` in interface `DTM`
  Returns:
    null if this model doesn't respond to lexical SAX events, "this" if the DTM object has a built-in SAX ContentHandler, the IncrementalSAXSource if we're bound to one and should receive the SAX stream via it for incremental build purposes...

    `needsTwoThreads` in interface `DTM`
  Returns:
    true iff we're building this model incrementally (eg we're partnered with a IncrementalSAXSource) and thus require that the transformation and the parse run simultaneously. Guidance to the DTMManager.

### characters

    public void characters(char[] ch,
                           int start,
                           int length)
                    throws SAXException

  Description copied from interface: `ContentHandler`
  Receive notification of character data.

  The Parser will call this method to report each chunk of character data. SAX parsers may return all contiguous character data in a single chunk, or they may split it into several chunks; however, all of the characters in any single event must come from the same external entity so that the Locator provides useful information.

  The application must not attempt to read from the array outside of the specified range.

  Individual characters may consist of more than one Java `char` value. There are two important cases where this happens, because characters can't be represented in just sixteen bits. In one case, characters are represented in a Surrogate Pair, using two special Unicode values. Such characters are in the so-called "Astral Planes", with a code point above U+FFFF. A second case involves composite characters, such as a base character combining with one or more accent characters.

  Your code should not assume that algorithms using `char`-at-a-time idioms will be working in character units; in some cases they will split characters. This is relevant wherever XML permits arbitrary characters, such as attribute values, processing instruction data, and comments as well as in data reported from this method. It's also generally relevant whenever Java code manipulates internationalized text; the issue isn't unique to XML.

  Note that some parsers will report whitespace in element content using the `ignorableWhitespace` method rather than this one (validating parsers must do so).

  Specified by:
    `characters` in interface `ContentHandler`
  Parameters:
    `ch` - The characters from the XML document.
    `start` - The start position in the array.
    `length` - The number of characters to read from the array.
  Throws:
    `SAXException` - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
  See Also:
    `ContentHandler.ignorableWhitespace(char[], int, int)`, `Locator`

### endDocument

    public void endDocument()
                     throws SAXException

  Description copied from interface: `ContentHandler`
  Receive notification of the end of a document.

  The SAX parser will invoke this method only once, and it will be the last method invoked during the parse. The parser shall not invoke this method until it has either abandoned parsing (because of an unrecoverable error) or reached the end of input.

  Specified by:
    `endDocument` in interface `ContentHandler`
  Throws:
    `SAXException` - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
  See Also:
    `ContentHandler.startDocument()`

### endElement

    public void endElement(java.lang.String namespaceURI,
                           java.lang.String localName,
                           java.lang.String qName)
                    throws SAXException

  Description copied from interface: `ContentHandler`
  Receive notification of the end of an element.

  The SAX parser will invoke this method at the end of every element in the XML document; there will be a corresponding `startElement` event for every endElement event (even when the element is empty).

  For information on the names, see startElement.

  Specified by:
    `endElement` in interface `ContentHandler`
  Parameters:
    `namespaceURI` - The Namespace URI, or the empty string if the element has no Namespace URI or if Namespace processing is not being performed.
    `localName` - The local name (without prefix), or the empty string if Namespace processing is not being performed.
    `qName` - The qualified XML 1.0 name (with prefix), or the empty string if qualified names are not available.
  Throws:
    `SAXException` - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

### endPrefixMapping

    public void endPrefixMapping(java.lang.String prefix)
                          throws SAXException

  Description copied from interface: `ContentHandler`
  End the scope of a prefix-URI mapping.

  See `startPrefixMapping` for details. These events will always occur immediately after the corresponding `endElement` event, but the order of `endPrefixMapping` events is not otherwise guaranteed.

  Specified by:
    `endPrefixMapping` in interface `ContentHandler`
  Parameters:
    `prefix` - The prefix that was being mapping. This is the empty string when a default mapping scope ends.
  Throws:
    `SAXException` - The client may throw an exception during processing.
  See Also:
    `ContentHandler.startPrefixMapping(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)`, `ContentHandler.endElement(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String)`

### ignorableWhitespace

    public void ignorableWhitespace(char[] ch,
                                    int start,
                                    int length)
                             throws SAXException

  Description copied from interface: `ContentHandler`
  Receive notification of ignorable whitespace in element content.

  Validating Parsers must use this method to report each chunk of whitespace in element content (see the W3C XML 1.0 recommendation, section 2.10): non-validating parsers may also use this method if they are capable of parsing and using content models.

  SAX parsers may return all contiguous whitespace in a single chunk, or they may split it into several chunks; however, all of the characters in any single event must come from the same external entity, so that the Locator provides useful information.

  The application must not attempt to read from the array outside of the specified range.

  Specified by:
    `ignorableWhitespace` in interface `ContentHandler`
  Parameters:
    `ch` - The characters from the XML document.
    `start` - The start position in the array.
    `length` - The number of characters to read from the array.
  Throws:
    `SAXException` - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
  See Also:
    `ContentHandler.characters(char[], int, int)`

### processingInstruction

    public void processingInstruction(java.lang.String target,
                                      java.lang.String data)
                               throws SAXException

  Description copied from interface: `ContentHandler`
  Receive notification of a processing instruction.

  The Parser will invoke this method once for each processing instruction found: note that processing instructions may occur before or after the main document element.

  A SAX parser must never report an XML declaration (XML 1.0, section 2.8) or a text declaration (XML 1.0, section 4.3.1) using this method.

  Like `characters()`, processing instruction data may have characters that need more than one `char` value.

  Specified by:
    `processingInstruction` in interface `ContentHandler`
  Parameters:
    `target` - The processing instruction target.
    `data` - The processing instruction data, or null if none was supplied. The data does not include any whitespace separating it from the target.
  Throws:
    `SAXException` - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

### setDocumentLocator

    public void setDocumentLocator(Locator locator)

  Description copied from interface: `ContentHandler`
  Receive an object for locating the origin of SAX document events.

  SAX parsers are strongly encouraged (though not absolutely required) to supply a locator: if it does so, it must supply the locator to the application by invoking this method before invoking any of the other methods in the ContentHandler interface.

  The locator allows the application to determine the end position of any document-related event, even if the parser is not reporting an error. Typically, the application will use this information for reporting its own errors (such as character content that does not match an application's business rules). The information returned by the locator is probably not sufficient for use with a search engine.

  Note that the locator will return correct information only during the invocation of the events in this interface. The application should not attempt to use it at any other time.

  Specified by:
    `setDocumentLocator` in interface `ContentHandler`
  Parameters:
    `locator` - An object that can return the location of any SAX document event.
  See Also:
    `Locator`

### skippedEntity

    public void skippedEntity(java.lang.String name)
                       throws SAXException

  Description copied from interface: `ContentHandler`
  Receive notification of a skipped entity. This is not called for entity references within markup constructs such as element start tags or markup declarations. (The XML recommendation requires reporting skipped external entities. SAX also reports internal entity expansion/non-expansion, except within markup constructs.)

  The Parser will invoke this method each time the entity is skipped. Non-validating processors may skip entities if they have not seen the declarations (because, for example, the entity was declared in an external DTD subset). All processors may skip external entities, depending on the values of the `http://xml.org/sax/features/external-general-entities` and the `http://xml.org/sax/features/external-parameter-entities` properties.

  Specified by:
    `skippedEntity` in interface `ContentHandler`
  Parameters:
    `name` - The name of the skipped entity. If it is a parameter entity, the name will begin with '%', and if it is the external DTD subset, it will be the string "[dtd]".
  Throws:
    `SAXException` - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

### startDocument

    public void startDocument()
                       throws SAXException

  Description copied from interface: `ContentHandler`
  Receive notification of the beginning of a document.

  The SAX parser will invoke this method only once, before any other event callbacks (except for `setDocumentLocator`).

  Specified by:
    `startDocument` in interface `ContentHandler`
  Throws:
    `SAXException` - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
  See Also:
    `ContentHandler.endDocument()`

### startElement

    public void startElement(java.lang.String namespaceURI,
                             java.lang.String localName,
                             java.lang.String qName,
                             Attributes atts)
                      throws SAXException

  Description copied from interface: `ContentHandler`
  Receive notification of the beginning of an element.

  The Parser will invoke this method at the beginning of every element in the XML document; there will be a corresponding `endElement` event for every startElement event (even when the element is empty). All of the element's content will be reported, in order, before the corresponding endElement event.

  This event allows up to three name components for each element:

  1. the Namespace URI;
  2. the local name; and
  3. the qualified (prefixed) name.

  Any or all of these may be provided, depending on the values of the http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces and the http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes properties:

  - the Namespace URI and local name are required when the namespaces property is true (the default), and are optional when the namespaces property is false (if one is specified, both must be);
  - the qualified name is required when the namespace-prefixes property is true, and is optional when the namespace-prefixes property is false (the default).

  Note that the attribute list provided will contain only attributes with explicit values (specified or defaulted): #IMPLIED attributes will be omitted. The attribute list will contain attributes used for Namespace declarations (xmlns* attributes) only if the `http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes` property is true (it is false by default, and support for a true value is optional).

  Like `characters()`, attribute values may have characters that need more than one `char` value.

  Specified by:
    `startElement` in interface `ContentHandler`
  Parameters:
    `namespaceURI` - The Namespace URI, or the empty string if the element has no Namespace URI or if Namespace processing is not being performed.
    `localName` - The local name (without prefix), or the empty string if Namespace processing is not being performed.
    `qName` - The qualified name (with prefix), or the empty string if qualified names are not available.
    `atts` - The attributes attached to the element. If there are no attributes, it shall be an empty Attributes object.
  Throws:
    `SAXException` - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

    `ContentHandler.endElement(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String)`, `Attributes`

### startPrefixMapping

    public void startPrefixMapping(java.lang.String prefix,
                                   java.lang.String uri)
                            throws SAXException

  Description copied from interface: `ContentHandler`
  Begin the scope of a prefix-URI Namespace mapping.

  The information from this event is not necessary for normal Namespace processing: the SAX XML reader will automatically replace prefixes for element and attribute names when the `http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces` feature is true (the default).

  There are cases, however, when applications need to use prefixes in character data or in attribute values, where they cannot safely be expanded automatically; the start/endPrefixMapping event supplies the information to the application to expand prefixes in those contexts itself, if necessary.

  Note that start/endPrefixMapping events are not guaranteed to be properly nested relative to each other: all startPrefixMapping events will occur immediately before the corresponding `startElement` event, and all `endPrefixMapping` events will occur immediately after the corresponding `endElement` event, but their order is not otherwise guaranteed.

  There should never be start/endPrefixMapping events for the "xml" prefix, since it is predeclared and immutable.

  Specified by:
    `startPrefixMapping` in interface `ContentHandler`
  Parameters:
    `prefix` - The Namespace prefix being declared. An empty string is used for the default element namespace, which has no prefix.
    `uri` - The Namespace URI the prefix is mapped to.
  Throws:
    `SAXException` - The client may throw an exception during processing.
  See Also:
    `ContentHandler.endPrefixMapping(java.lang.String)`, `ContentHandler.startElement(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, org.xml.sax.Attributes)`

                 throws SAXException

  Description copied from interface: `LexicalHandler`
  Report an XML comment anywhere in the document.

  This callback will be used for comments inside or outside the document element, including comments in the external DTD subset (if read). Comments in the DTD must be properly nested inside start/endDTD and start/endEntity events (if used).

  Specified by:
    `comment` in interface `LexicalHandler`
  Parameters:
    `ch` - An array holding the characters in the comment.
    `start` - The starting position in the array.
    `length` - The number of characters to use from the array.

### endDTD

    public void endDTD()
                throws SAXException

  Description copied from interface: `LexicalHandler`
  Report the end of DTD declarations.

  This method is intended to report the end of the DOCTYPE declaration; if the document has no DOCTYPE declaration, this method will not be invoked.

  Specified by:
    `endDTD` in interface `LexicalHandler`
  Throws:
    `SAXException` - The application may raise an exception.
  See Also:
    `LexicalHandler.startDTD(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String)`

  Specified by:
    `endEntity` in interface `LexicalHandler`
  Parameters:
    `name` - The name of the entity that is ending.
  Throws:
    `SAXException` - The application may raise an exception.
  See Also:
    `LexicalHandler.startEntity(java.lang.String)`

### startCDATA

    public void startCDATA()
                    throws SAXException

  Description copied from interface: `LexicalHandler`
  Report the start of a CDATA section.

  The contents of the CDATA section will be reported through the regular `characters` event; this event is intended only to report the boundary.

  Specified by:
    `startCDATA` in interface `LexicalHandler`
  Throws:
    `SAXException` - The application may raise an exception.
  See Also:
    `LexicalHandler.endCDATA()`

### startDTD

    public void startDTD(java.lang.String name,
                         java.lang.String publicId,
                         java.lang.String systemId)
                  throws SAXException

  Description copied from interface: `LexicalHandler`
  Report the start of DTD declarations, if any.

  This method is intended to report the beginning of the DOCTYPE declaration; if the document has no DOCTYPE declaration, this method will not be invoked.

  All declarations reported through `DTDHandler` or `DeclHandler` events must appear between the startDTD and `endDTD` events. Declarations are assumed to belong to the internal DTD subset unless they appear between `startEntity` and `endEntity` events. Comments and processing instructions from the DTD should also be reported between the startDTD and endDTD events, in their original order of (logical) occurrence; they are not required to appear in their correct locations relative to DTDHandler or DeclHandler events, however.

  Note that the start/endDTD events will appear within the start/endDocument events from ContentHandler and before the first `startElement` event.

  Specified by:
    `startDTD` in interface `LexicalHandler`
  Parameters:
    `name` - The document type name.
    `publicId` - The declared public identifier for the external DTD subset, or null if none was declared.
    `systemId` - The declared system identifier for the external DTD subset, or null if none was declared. (Note that this is not resolved against the document base URI.)
  Throws:
    `SAXException` - The application may raise an exception.
  See Also:
    `LexicalHandler.endDTD()`, `LexicalHandler.startEntity(java.lang.String)`

### startEntity

    public void startEntity(java.lang.String name)
                     throws SAXException

  Description copied from interface: `LexicalHandler`
  Report the beginning of some internal and external XML entities.

  The reporting of parameter entities (including the external DTD subset) is optional, and SAX2 drivers that report LexicalHandler events may not implement it; you can use the `http://xml.org/sax/features/lexical-handler/parameter-entities` feature to query or control the reporting of parameter entities.

  General entities are reported with their regular names, parameter entities have '%' prepended to their names, and the external DTD subset has the pseudo-entity name "[dtd]".

  When a SAX2 driver is providing these events, all other events must be properly nested within start/end entity events. There is no additional requirement that events from `DeclHandler` or `DTDHandler` be properly ordered.

  Note that skipped entities will be reported through the `skippedEntity` event, which is part of the ContentHandler interface.

  Because of the streaming event model that SAX uses, some entity boundaries cannot be reported under any circumstances:

  - general entities within attribute values
  - parameter entities within declarations

  These will be silently expanded, with no indication of where the original entity boundaries were.

  Note also that the boundaries of character references (which are not really entities anyway) are not reported.

  All start/endEntity events must be properly nested.

  Specified by:
    `startEntity` in interface `LexicalHandler`
  Parameters:
    `name` - The name of the entity. If it is a parameter entity, the name will begin with '%', and if it is the external DTD subset, it will be "[dtd]".
  Throws:
    `SAXException` - The application may raise an exception.
  See Also:
    `LexicalHandler.endEntity(java.lang.String)`, `DeclHandler.internalEntityDecl(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)`, `DeclHandler.externalEntityDecl(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String)`

### hasChildNodes

    public boolean hasChildNodes(int nodeHandle)

  Given a node handle, test if it has child nodes.

  %REVIEW% This is obviously useful at the DOM layer, where it would permit testing this without having to create a proxy node. It's less useful in the DTM API, where (dtm.getFirstChild(nodeHandle)!=DTM.NULL) is just as fast and almost as self-evident. But it's a convenience, and eases porting of DOM code to DTM.

  Specified by:
    `hasChildNodes` in interface `DTM`
  Parameters:
    `nodeHandle` - int Handle of the node.
  Returns:
    int true if the given node has child nodes.

    `nodeHandle` - int Handle of the node.
  Returns:
    int Node-number of last child, or DTM.NULL to indicate none exists.

### getAttributeNode

    public int getAttributeNode(int nodeHandle,
                                java.lang.String namespaceURI,

                                     boolean inScope)

  Given a node handle, get the index of the node's first child. If not yet resolved, waits for more nodes to be added to the document and tries again

  Specified by:
    `getFirstNamespaceNode` in interface `DTM`
  Parameters:
    `nodeHandle` - handle to node, which should probably be an element node, but need not be.
    `inScope` - true if all namespaces in scope should be returned, false if only the namespace declarations should be returned.
  Returns:
    handle of first namespace, or DTM.NULL to indicate none exists.

### getNextSibling

    public int getNextSibling(int nodeHandle)

  Given a node handle, advance to its next sibling. %TBD% This currently uses the DTM-internal definition of sibling; eg, the last attr's next sib is the first child. In the old DTM, the DOM proxy layer provided the additional logic for the public view. If we're rewriting for XPath emulation, that test must be done here. %TBD% CODE INTERACTION WITH INCREMENTAL PARSE - If not yet resolved, should wait for more nodes to be added to the document and tries again.

  Specified by:
    `getNextSibling` in interface `DTM`
  Parameters:
    `nodeHandle` - int Handle of the node.
  Returns:
    int Node-number of next sibling, or DTM.NULL to indicate none exists.

### getPreviousSibling

    public int getPreviousSibling(int nodeHandle)

  Returns:
    int Node-number of the previous sib, or DTM.NULL to indicate none exists.

    `nodeHandle` - int Handle of the node.
  Returns:
    int DTM node-number of the resolved attr, or DTM.NULL to indicate none exists.

  Returns:
    int Node handle of document, which should always be valid.

### getOwnerDocument

    public int getOwnerDocument(int nodeHandle)

  Given a node handle, find the owning document node. This has the exact same semantics as the DOM Document method of the same name, in that if the nodeHandle is a document node, it will return NULL.

  %REVIEW% Since this is DOM-specific, it may belong at the DOM binding layer. Included here as a convenience function and to aid porting of DOM code to DTM.

  Specified by:
    `getOwnerDocument` in interface `DTM`
  Parameters:
    `nodeHandle` - the id of the node.
  Returns:
    int Node handle of owning document, or NULL if the nodeHandle is a document.
  See Also:
    `DTM.getDocumentRoot(int nodeHandle)`

### getDocumentRoot

    public int getDocumentRoot(int nodeHandle)

  Given a node handle, find the owning document node. This has the DTM semantics; a Document node is its own owner.

  %REVIEW% Since this is DOM-specific, it may belong at the DOM binding layer. Included here as a convenience function and to aid porting of DOM code to DTM.

  Specified by:
    `getDocumentRoot` in interface `DTM`
  Parameters:
    `nodeHandle` - the id of the node.
  Returns:
    int Node handle of owning document, or NULL if the nodeHandle is a document.
  See Also:
    `DTM.getOwnerDocument(int nodeHandle)`

### getStringValue

    public XMLString getStringValue(int nodeHandle)

  Get the string-value of a node as a String object (see http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#data-model for the definition of a node's string-value).

  Specified by:
    `getStringValue` in interface `DTM`
  Parameters:
    `nodeHandle` - The node ID.
  Returns:
    A string object that represents the string-value of the given node.

### getStringValueChunkCount

    public int getStringValueChunkCount(int nodeHandle)

  Get number of character array chunks in the string-value of a node. (see http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#data-model for the definition of a node's string-value). Note that a single text node may have multiple text chunks. EXPLANATION: This method is an artifact of the fact that the underlying m_chars object may not store characters in a single contiguous array -- for example,the current FastStringBuffer may split a single node's text across multiple allocation units. This call tells us how many separate accesses will be required to retrieve the entire content. PLEASE NOTE that this may not be the same as the number of SAX characters() events that caused the text node to be built in the first place, since m_chars buffering may be on different boundaries than the parser's buffers.

  Specified by:
    `getStringValueChunkCount` in interface `DTM`
  Parameters:
    `nodeHandle` - The node ID.
  Returns:
    number of character array chunks in the string-value of a node.

### getStringValueChunk

    public char[] getStringValueChunk(int nodeHandle,
                                      int chunkIndex,
                                      int[] startAndLen)

  Get a character array chunk in the string-value of a node. (see http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#data-model for the definition of a node's string-value). Note that a single text node may have multiple text chunks. EXPLANATION: This method is an artifact of the fact that the underlying m_chars object may not store characters in a single contiguous array -- for example,the current FastStringBuffer may split a single node's text across multiple allocation units. This call retrieves a single contiguous portion of the text -- as much as m-chars was able to store in a single allocation unit. PLEASE NOTE that this may not be the same granularityas the SAX characters() events that caused the text node to be built in the first place, since m_chars buffering may be on different boundaries than the parser's buffers.

  Specified by:
    `getStringValueChunk` in interface `DTM`
  Parameters:
    `nodeHandle` - The node ID.
    `chunkIndex` - Which chunk to get.
    `startAndLen` - An array of 2 where the start position and length of the chunk will be returned.
  Returns:
    The character array reference where the chunk occurs.

                                 int type)

  Given an expanded name, return an ID. If the expanded-name does not exist in the internal tables, the entry will be created, and the ID will be returned. Any additional nodes that are created that have this expanded name will use this ID.

  Specified by:
    `getExpandedTypeID` in interface `DTM`
  Returns:
    the expanded-name id of the node.

### getLocalNameFromExpandedNameID

    public java.lang.String getLocalNameFromExpandedNameID(int ExpandedNameID)

  Given an expanded-name ID, return the local name part.

  Specified by:
    `getLocalNameFromExpandedNameID` in interface `DTM`

  Returns:
    String Name of this node.

    `version` - This is the version number of the feature to test. If the version is not specified, supporting any version of the feature will cause the method to return `true`.
  Returns:
    Returns `true` if the specified feature is supported on this node, `false` otherwise.

### getDocumentBaseURI

    the document encoding String object.

### getDocumentStandalone

    public java.lang.String getDocumentStandalone(int nodeHandle)

  Return an indication of the standalone status of the document, either "yes" or "no". This property is derived from the optional standalone document declaration in the XML declaration at the beginning of the document entity, and has no value if there is no standalone document declaration.

  Specified by:
    `getDocumentStandalone` in interface `DTM`
  Parameters:
    `nodeHandle` - The node id, which can be any valid node handle.
  Returns:
    the document standalone String object, either "yes", "no", or null.

### getDocumentVersion

    public java.lang.String getDocumentVersion(int documentHandle)

  Return a string representing the XML version of the document. This property is derived from the XML declaration optionally present at the beginning of the document entity, and has no value if there is no XML declaration.

  Specified by:
    `getDocumentVersion` in interface `DTM`
  Returns:
    the document version String object

### getDocumentAllDeclarationsProcessed

    public boolean getDocumentAllDeclarationsProcessed()

  Return an indication of whether the processor has read the complete DTD. Its value is a boolean. If it is false, then certain properties (indicated in their descriptions below) may be unknown. If it is true, those properties are never unknown.

  Specified by:
    `getDocumentAllDeclarationsProcessed` in interface `DTM`
  Returns:
    `true` if all declarations were processed {}; `false` otherwise.

### getDocumentTypeDeclarationSystemIdentifier

    public java.lang.String getDocumentTypeDeclarationSystemIdentifier()

  A document type declaration information item has the following properties: 1. [system identifier] The system identifier of the external subset, if it exists. Otherwise this property has no value.

  Specified by:
    `getDocumentTypeDeclarationSystemIdentifier` in interface `DTM`
  Returns:
    the system identifier String object, or null if there is none.

### getDocumentTypeDeclarationPublicIdentifier

    public java.lang.String getDocumentTypeDeclarationPublicIdentifier()

  Return the public identifier of the external subset, normalized as described in 4.2.2 External Entities [XML]. If there is no external subset or if it has no public identifier, this property has no value.

  Specified by:
    `getDocumentTypeDeclarationPublicIdentifier` in interface `DTM`
  Returns:
    the public identifier String object, or null if there is none.

### getElementById

    public int getElementById(java.lang.String elementId)

  Returns the `Element` whose `ID` is given by `elementId`. If no such element exists, returns `DTM.NULL`. Behavior is not defined if more than one element has this `ID`. Attributes (including those with the name "ID") are not of type ID unless so defined by DTD/Schema information available to the DTM implementation. Implementations that do not know whether attributes are of type ID or not are expected to return `DTM.NULL`.

  %REVIEW% Presumably IDs are still scoped to a single document, and this operation searches only within a single document, right? Wouldn't want collisions between DTMs in the same process.

  Specified by:
    `getElementById` in interface `DTM`
  Parameters:
    `elementId` - The unique `id` value for an element.
  Returns:
    The handle of the matching element.

### getUnparsedEntityURI

    public java.lang.String getUnparsedEntityURI(java.lang.String name)

  The getUnparsedEntityURI function returns the URI of the unparsed entity with the specified name in the same document as the context node (see [3.3 Unparsed Entities]). It returns the empty string if there is no such entity.

  XML processors may choose to use the System Identifier (if one is provided) to resolve the entity, rather than the URI in the Public Identifier. The details are dependent on the processor, and we would have to support some form of plug-in resolver to handle this properly. Currently, we simply return the System Identifier if present, and hope that it a usable URI or that our caller can map it to one. TODO: Resolve Public Identifiers... or consider changing function name.

  If we find a relative URI reference, XML expects it to be resolved in terms of the base URI of the document. The DOM doesn't do that for us, and it isn't entirely clear whether that should be done here; currently that's pushed up to a higher level of our application. (Note that DOM Level 1 didn't store the document's base URI.) TODO: Consider resolving Relative URIs.

  (The DOM's statement that "An XML processor may choose to completely expand entities before the structure model is passed to the DOM" refers only to parsed entities, not unparsed, and hence doesn't affect this function.)

  Specified by:
    `getUnparsedEntityURI` in interface `DTM`
  Parameters:
    `name` - A string containing the Entity Name of the unparsed entity.
  Returns:
    String containing the URI of the Unparsed Entity, or an empty string if no such entity exists.

### supportsPreStripping

    public boolean supportsPreStripping()

  Return true if the xsl:strip-space or xsl:preserve-space was processed during construction of the DTM document.

  %REVEIW% Presumes a 1:1 mapping from DTM to Document, since we aren't saying which Document to query...?

  Specified by:
    `supportsPreStripping` in interface `DTM`

### isNodeAfter

    public boolean isNodeAfter(int nodeHandle1,
                               int nodeHandle2)

  Figure out whether nodeHandle2 should be considered as being later in the document than nodeHandle1, in Document Order as defined by the XPath model. This may not agree with the ordering defined by other XML applications.

  There are some cases where ordering isn't defined, and neither are the results of this function -- though we'll generally return true. TODO: Make sure this does the right thing with attribute nodes!!!

  Specified by:
    `isNodeAfter` in interface `DTM`
  Parameters:
    `nodeHandle1` - DOM Node to perform position comparison on.
    `nodeHandle2` - DOM Node to perform position comparison on.
  Returns:
    false if node2 comes before node1, otherwise return true. You can think of this as `(node1.documentOrderPosition <= node2.documentOrderPosition)`.

### isCharacterElementContentWhitespace

    public boolean isCharacterElementContentWhitespace(int nodeHandle)

  2. [element content whitespace] A boolean indicating whether the character is white space appearing within element content (see [XML], 2.10 "White Space Handling"). Note that validating XML processors are required by XML 1.0 to provide this information. If there is no declaration for the containing element, this property has no value for white space characters. If no declaration has been read, but the [all declarations processed] property of the document information item is false (so there may be an unread declaration), then the value of this property is unknown for white space characters. It is always false for characters that are not white space.

  Specified by:
    `isCharacterElementContentWhitespace` in interface `DTM`
  Parameters:
    `nodeHandle` - the node ID.
  Returns:
    `true` if the character data is whitespace; `false` otherwise.

### isDocumentAllDeclarationsProcessed

    public boolean isDocumentAllDeclarationsProcessed(int documentHandle)

  10. [all declarations processed] This property is not strictly speaking part of the infoset of the document. Rather it is an indication of whether the processor has read the complete DTD. Its value is a boolean. If it is false, then certain properties (indicated in their descriptions below) may be unknown. If it is true, those properties are never unknown.

  Specified by:
    `isDocumentAllDeclarationsProcessed` in interface `DTM`
  Parameters:
    `documentHandle` - A node handle that must identify a document.
  Returns:
    `true` if all declarations were processed; `false` otherwise.

### isAttributeSpecified

    public boolean isAttributeSpecified(int attributeHandle)

  5. [specified] A flag indicating whether this attribute was actually specified in the start-tag of its element, or was defaulted from the DTD.

  Specified by:
    `isAttributeSpecified` in interface `DTM`
  Returns:
    `true` if the attribute was specified; `false` if it was defaulted.

### dispatchCharactersEvents
