All Implemented Interfaces:

    public class ElementDefinitionImpl

extends ParentNode

NON-DOM CLASS: Describe one of the Elements (and its associated Attributes) defined in this Document Type.

I've included this in Level 1 purely as an anchor point for default attributes. In Level 2 it should enable the ChildRule support.

Field Detail

### name

    protected java.lang.String name

  Element definition name.

### attributes

    protected NamedNodeMapImpl attributes

  Default attributes.

Constructor Detail

### ElementDefinitionImpl

    public ElementDefinitionImpl(CoreDocumentImpl ownerDocument,
                                 java.lang.String name)

  Factory constructor.

Method Detail

### getNodeType

    public short getNodeType()

  A short integer indicating what type of node this is. The named constants for this value are defined in the org.w3c.dom.Node interface.

  Specified by:
    `getNodeType` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Specified by:
    `getNodeType` in class `NodeImpl`

### getNodeName

    public java.lang.String getNodeName()

  Returns the element definition name

  Specified by:
    `getNodeName` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Specified by:
    `getNodeName` in class `NodeImpl`

### cloneNode

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

  Replicate this object.

  Specified by:
    `cloneNode` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Overrides:
    `cloneNode` in class `ParentNode`
  Parameters:
    `deep` - If `true`, recursively clone the subtree under the specified node; if `false`, clone only the node itself (and its attributes, if it is an `Element`).
  Returns:
    The duplicate node.
  See Also:
    `

    Example: Cloning a Text node will copy both the node and the text it contains.

    Example: Cloning something that has children -- Element or Attr, for example -- will _not_ clone those children unless a "deep clone" has been requested. A shallow clone of an Attr node will yield an empty Attr of the same name.

    NOTE: Clones will always be read/write, even if the node being cloned is read-only, to permit applications using only the DOM API to obtain editable copies of locked portions of the tree.

    `

### getAttributes

    public org.w3c.dom.NamedNodeMap getAttributes()

  Query the attributes defined on this Element.

  In the base implementation this Map simply contains Attribute objects representing the defaults. In a more serious implementation, it would contain AttributeDefinitionImpl objects for all declared Attributes, indicating which are Default, DefaultFixed, Implicit and/or Required.

  Specified by:
    `getAttributes` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Overrides:
    `getAttributes` in class `NodeImpl`
  Returns:
    org.w3c.dom.NamedNodeMap containing org.w3c.dom.Attribute

    `ElementImpl`
