Class EntityImpl

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.Cloneable, org.w3c.dom.Entity, org.w3c.dom.events.EventTarget, org.w3c.dom.Node, org.w3c.dom.NodeList

    public class EntityImpl
    extends ParentNode
    implements org.w3c.dom.Entity
    Entity nodes hold the reference data for an XML Entity -- either parsed or unparsed. The nodeName (inherited from Node) will contain the name (if any) of the Entity. Its data will be contained in the Entity's children, in exactly the structure which an EntityReference to this name will present within the document's body.

    Note that this object models the actual entity, _not_ the entity declaration or the entity reference.

    An XML processor may choose to completely expand entities before the structure model is passed to the DOM; in this case, there will be no EntityReferences in the DOM tree.

    Quoting the 10/01 DOM Proposal,

    "The DOM Level 1 does not support editing Entity nodes; if a user wants to make changes to the contents of an Entity, every related EntityReference node has to be replaced in the structure model by a clone of the Entity's contents, and then the desired changes must be made to each of those clones instead. All the descendants of an Entity node are readonly."
    I'm interpreting this as: It is the parser's responsibilty to call the non-DOM operation setReadOnly(true,true) after it constructs the Entity. Since the DOM explicitly decided not to deal with this, _any_ answer will involve a non-DOM operation, and this is the simplest solution.

      • getBaseURI

        public java.lang.String getBaseURI()
        The absolute base URI of this node or null if undefined. This value is computed according to . However, when the Document supports the feature "HTML" , the base URI is computed using first the value of the href attribute of the HTML BASE element if any, and the value of the documentURI attribute from the Document interface otherwise.
        When the node is an Element, a Document or a a ProcessingInstruction, this attribute represents the properties [base URI] defined in . When the node is a Notation, an Entity, or an EntityReference, this attribute represents the properties [declaration base URI] in the . How will this be affected by resolution of relative namespace URIs issue?It's not.Should this only be on Document, Element, ProcessingInstruction, Entity, and Notation nodes, according to the infoset? If not, what is it equal to on other nodes? Null? An empty string? I think it should be the parent's.No.Should this be read-only and computed or and actual read-write attribute?Read-only and computed (F2F 19 Jun 2000 and teleconference 30 May 2001).If the base HTML element is not yet attached to a document, does the insert change the Document.baseURI? Yes. (F2F 26 Sep 2001) Returns the absolute base URI of this node or null if the implementation wasn't able to obtain an absolute URI. Note: If the URI is malformed, a null is returned.
        Specified by:
        getBaseURI in interface org.w3c.dom.Node

        Returns:
        The absolute base URI of this node or null.
