Field Detail

previousSibling

protected ChildNode previousSibling

Previous sibling.

nextSibling

protected ChildNode nextSibling

Next sibling.

Constructor Detail

ChildNode

protected ChildNode(CoreDocumentImpl ownerDocument)

No public constructor; only subclasses of Node should be instantiated, and those normally via a Document's factory methods

Every Node knows what Document it belongs to.

ChildNode

public ChildNode()

Constructor for serialization.

Method Detail

cloneNode

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

Returns a duplicate of a given node. You can consider this a generic "copy constructor" for nodes. The newly returned object should be completely independent of the source object's subtree, so changes in one after the clone has been made will not affect the other.

Note: since we never have any children deep is meaningless here, ParentNode overrides this behavior.

Overrides:

cloneNode in class NodeImpl

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.

getParentNode

public org.w3c.dom.Node getParentNode()

Returns the parent node of this node

Overrides:

getParentNode in class NodeImpl

getNextSibling

public org.w3c.dom.Node getNextSibling()

The next child of this node's parent, or null if none

Overrides:

getNextSibling in class NodeImpl

getPreviousSibling

public org.w3c.dom.Node getPreviousSibling()

The previous child of this node's parent, or null if none

Overrides:

getPreviousSibling in class NodeImpl
