public class DomPI
extends DomNode
implements ProcessingInstruction

"ProcessingInstruction" (PI) implementation. This is a non-core DOM class, supporting the "XML" feature.

Unlike other DOM APIs in the "XML" feature, this one fully exposes the functionality it describes. So there is no reason inherent in DOM to avoid using this API, unless you want to rely on NOTATION declarations to associate meaning with your PIs; there is no vendor-neutal way to record those notations in DOM.

Also of note is that PI support is part of SAX, so that XML systems using PIs can choose among multiple APIs.

Constructor Detail

DomPI

protected DomPI(Document owner,
                java.lang.String target,
                java.lang.String data)
Constructs a ProcessingInstruction node associated with the specified document, with the specified data.

This constructor should only be invoked by a Document object as part of its createProcessingInstruction functionality, or through a subclass which is similarly used in a "Sub-DOM" style layer.

Method Detail

getTarget

public final java.lang.String getTarget()
DOM L1 Returns the target of the processing instruction.
Specified by:
getTarget in interface ProcessingInstruction

getNodeName

public final java.lang.String getNodeName()
DOM L1 Returns the target of the processing instruction (same as getTarget).
Specified by:
getNodeName in interface Node

getData

public final java.lang.String getData()
DOM L1 Returns the data associated with the processing instruction.
Specified by:
getData in interface ProcessingInstruction
Following copied from interface: org.w3c.dom.ProcessingInstruction
Throws:
DOMException - NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised when the node is readonly.

getNodeValue

public final java.lang.String getNodeValue()
DOM L1 Returns the data associated with the processing instruction (same as getData).
Specified by:
getNodeValue in interface Node
Overrides:
getNodeValue in class DomNode
Following copied from interface: org.w3c.dom.Node
Throws:
DOMException - NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised when the node is readonly.
DOMException - DOMSTRING_SIZE_ERR: Raised when it would return more characters than fit in a DOMString variable on the implementation platform.

setData

public final void setData(java.lang.String data)
DOM L1 Assigns the data associated with the processing instruction; same as setNodeValue.
Specified by:
setData in interface ProcessingInstruction

setNodeValue

public final void setNodeValue(java.lang.String data)
DOM L1 Assigns the data associated with the processing instruction.
Specified by:
setNodeValue in interface Node
Overrides:
setNodeValue in class DomNode
