Method Detail

getData

public Object getData()

DOCUMENT ME!

Specified by:

getData in interface Element

Overrides:

getData in class AbstractElement

Returns:

the JavaBean associated with this element

setData

public void setData(Object data)

Description copied from interface: Element

Sets the data value of this element if this element supports data binding or calls Node.setText(java.lang.String)if it doesn't

Specified by:

setData in interface Element

Overrides:

setData in class AbstractElement

attribute

public Attribute attribute(String name)

Description copied from interface: Element

Returns the attribute with the given name

Specified by:

attribute in interface Element

Overrides:

attribute in class DefaultElement

attribute

public Attribute attribute(QName qname)

Description copied from interface: Element

DOCUMENT ME!

Specified by:

attribute in interface Element

Overrides:

attribute in class DefaultElement

addAttribute

public Element addAttribute(String name,
                            String value)

Description copied from interface: Element

Adds the attribute value of the given local name. If an attribute already exists for the given name it will be replaced. Attributes with null values are silently ignored. If the value of the attribute is null then this method call will remove any attributes with the given name.

Specified by:

addAttribute in interface Element

Overrides:

addAttribute in class AbstractElement

addAttribute

public Element addAttribute(QName qName,
                            String value)

Description copied from interface: Element

Adds the attribute value of the given fully qualified name. If an attribute already exists for the given name it will be replaced. Attributes with null values are silently ignored. If the value of the attribute is null then this method call will remove any attributes with the given name.

Specified by:

addAttribute in interface Element

Overrides:

addAttribute in class AbstractElement

setAttributes

public void setAttributes(List attributes)

Description copied from interface: Element

Sets the attributes that this element contains

Specified by:

setAttributes in interface Element

Overrides:

setAttributes in class DefaultElement

setAttributes

public void setAttributes(Attributes attributes,
                          NamespaceStack namespaceStack,
                          boolean noNamespaceAttributes)
