public class DocumentImpl
extends ParentNode
implements Document, DocumentTraversal, DocumentEvent, DocumentRange

The Document interface represents the entire HTML or XML document. Conceptually, it is the root of the document tree, and provides the primary access to the document's data.

Since elements, text nodes, comments, processing instructions, etc. cannot exist outside the context of a Document, the Document interface also contains the factory methods needed to create these objects. The Node objects created have a ownerDocument attribute which associates them with the Document within whose context they were created.

The DocumentImpl class also implements the DOM Level 2 DocumentTraversal interface. This interface is comprised of factory methods needed to create NodeIterators and TreeWalkers. The process of creating NodeIterator objects also adds these references to this document. After finishing with an iterator it is important to remove the object using the remove methods in this implementation. This allows the release of the references from the iterator objects to the DOM Nodes.

Note: When any node in the document is serialized, the entire document is serialized along with it.

          Sets whether the DOM implementation generates mutation events upon operations.

protected void setUserData(NodeImpl n, java.lang.Object data)
          Store user data related to a given node This is a place where we could use weak references! Indeed, the node here won't be GC'ed as long as some user data is attached to it, since the userData table will have a reference to the node.

changes

protected int changes

Number of alterations made to this document since its creation. Serves as a "dirty bit" so that live objects such as NodeList can recognize when an alteration has been made and discard its cached state information.

Any method that alters the tree structure MUST cause or be accompanied by a call to changed(), to inform it that any outstanding NodeLists may have to be updated.

(Required because NodeList is simultaneously "live" and integer- indexed -- a bad decision in the DOM's design.)

Note that changes which do not affect the tree's structure -- changing the node's name, for example -- do _not_ have to call changed().

Alternative implementation would be to use a cryptographic Digest value rather than a count. This would have the advantage that "harmless" changes (those producing equal() trees) would not force NodeList to resynchronize. Disadvantage is that it's slightly more prone to "false negatives", though that's the difference between "wildly unlikely" and "absurdly unlikely". IF we start maintaining digests, we should consider taking advantage of them. Note: This used to be done a node basis, so that we knew what subtree changed. But since only DeepNodeList really use this today, the gain appears to be really small compared to the cost of having an int on every (parent) node plus having to walk up the tree all the way to the root to mark the branch as changed everytime a node is changed. So we now have a single counter global to the document. It means that some objects may flush their cache more often than necessary, but this makes nodes smaller and only the document needs to be marked as changed.

Constructor Detail

DocumentImpl

public DocumentImpl()

NON-DOM: Actually creating a Document is outside the DOM's spec, since it has to operate in terms of a particular implementation.

DocumentImpl

public DocumentImpl(boolean grammarAccess)

Experimental constructor.

DocumentImpl

public DocumentImpl(DocumentType doctype)

DocumentImpl

public DocumentImpl(DocumentType doctype,
                    boolean grammarAccess)

Experimental constructor.

Method Detail

getOwnerDocument

public final Document getOwnerDocument()

Description copied from interface: Node

The Document object associated with this node. This is also the Document object used to create new nodes. When this node is a Document or a DocumentType which is not used with any Document yet, this is null.

Overrides:: getOwnerDocument in class ParentNode

getNodeType

public short getNodeType()

Returns the node type.

Overrides:: getNodeType in class NodeImpl

getNodeName

public java.lang.String getNodeName()

Returns the node name.

Overrides:: getNodeName in class NodeImpl

cloneNode

public Node cloneNode(boolean deep)

Deep-clone a document, including fixing ownerDoc for the cloned children. Note that this requires bypassing the WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR protection. I've chosen to implement it by calling importNode which is DOM Level 2.

Overrides:: cloneNode in class ParentNode

Parameters:: deep - boolean, iff true replicate children
Returns:: org.w3c.dom.Node

insertBefore

public Node insertBefore(Node newChild,
                         Node refChild)
                  throws DOMException

Since a Document may contain at most one top-level Element child, and at most one DocumentType declaraction, we need to subclass our add-children methods to implement this constraint. Since appendChild() is implemented as insertBefore(,null), altering the latter fixes both.

While I'm doing so, I've taken advantage of the opportunity to cache documentElement and docType so we don't have to search for them. REVISIT: According to the spec it is not allowed to alter neither the document element nor the document type in any way

Overrides:: insertBefore in class ParentNode

Tags copied from interface: Node

Parameters:: newChildThe - node to insert.; refChildThe - reference node, i.e., the node before which the new node must be inserted.
Returns:: The node being inserted.
Throws:: DOMException - HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR: Raised if this node is of a type that does not allow children of the type of the newChild node, or if the node to insert is one of this node's ancestors.
WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: Raised if newChild was created from a different document than the one that created this node.
NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly or if the parent of the node being inserted is readonly.
NOT_FOUND_ERR: Raised if refChild is not a child of this node.

removeChild

public Node removeChild(Node oldChild)
                 throws DOMException

Since insertBefore caches the docElement (and, currently, docType), removeChild has to know how to undo the cache REVISIT: According to the spec it is not allowed to alter neither the document element nor the document type in any way

Overrides:: removeChild in class ParentNode

Tags copied from interface: Node

Parameters:: oldChildThe - node being removed.
Returns:: The node removed.
Throws:: DOMException - NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly.

                         Node oldChild)
                  throws DOMException

Since we cache the docElement (and, currently, docType), replaceChild has to update the cache REVISIT: According to the spec it is not allowed to alter neither the document element nor the document type in any way

Overrides:: replaceChild in class ParentNode

Tags copied from interface: Node

Parameters:: newChildThe - new node to put in the child list.; oldChildThe - node being replaced in the list.
Returns:: The node replaced.
Throws:: DOMException - HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR: Raised if this node is of a type that does not allow children of the type of the newChild node, or if the node to put in is one of this node's ancestors.
WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: Raised if newChild was created from a different document than the one that created this node.
NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node or the parent of the new node is readonly.
NOT_FOUND_ERR: Raised if oldChild is not a child of this node.

Throws:: DOMException(NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR) - for HTML documents, where DTDs are not permitted. (HTML not yet implemented.)

createEntity

public Entity createEntity(java.lang.String name)
                    throws DOMException

NON-DOM Factory method; creates an Entity having this Document as its OwnerDoc. (REC-DOM-Level-1-19981001 left the process of building DTD information unspecified.)

Parameters:: name - The name of the Entity we wish to provide a value for.
Throws:: DOMException(NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR) - for HTML documents, where nonstandard entities are not permitted. (HTML not yet implemented.)

createNotation

public Notation createNotation(java.lang.String name)
                        throws DOMException

createElementDefinition

public ElementDefinitionImpl createElementDefinition(java.lang.String name)
                                              throws DOMException

NON-DOM Factory method: creates an element definition. Element definitions hold default attribute values.

importNode

public Node importNode(Node source,
                       boolean deep)
                throws DOMException

Copies data from the source node. Unlike cloneNode, this _can_ copy data from another document. If the source document is also based on org.apache.xerces.dom, we will attempt to preserve the domimpl- internal data by doing a clone-and-reparent. If not, we will use the source's public methods, and this document's Factory methods, to copy data defined by the DOM interfaces. Its behavior is otherwise similar to that of cloneNode. Attempting to import a Document into another Document is meaningless -- a new Document would not improve matters much, and a DocumentFragment couldn't carry the DocumentType child (if any). Best thing we can do is throw a HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR. ????? Should we push some of this down to copy-ctors, so subclassed DOMs have the option of special-casing each other (as we do for ourself)?

Specified by:: importNode in interface Document

Tags copied from interface: Document

Parameters:: importedNodeThe - node to import.; deepIf - true, recursively import the subtree under the specified node; if false, import only the node itself, as explained above. This has no effect on Attr , EntityReference, and Notation nodes.
Returns:: The imported node that belongs to this Document.
Throws:: DOMException - NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the type of node being imported is not supported.

adoptNode

public void adoptNode(Node source)

NON-DOM: Change the node's ownerDocument, and its subtree, to this Document

Parameters:: source - The node to move in to this document.
Throws:: NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR - DOMException, raised if the implementation cannot handle the request, such as when the source node comes from a different DOMImplementation
See Also:: DocumentImpl.importNode

getElementById

public Element getElementById(java.lang.String elementId)

Introduced in DOM Level 2 Returns the Element whose ID is given by elementId. If no such element exists, returns null. Behavior is not defined if more than one element has this ID.

Note: The DOM implementation must have information that says which attributes are of type ID. Attributes with the name "ID" are not of type ID unless so defined. Implementations that do not know whether attributes are of type ID or not are expected to return null.

Specified by:: getElementById in interface Document

See Also:: getIdentifier(java.lang.String)

putIdentifier

public void putIdentifier(java.lang.String idName,
                          Element element)

Registers an identifier name with a specified element node. If the identifier is already registered, the new element node replaces the previous node. If the specified element node is null, removeIdentifier() is called.

See Also:: getIdentifier(java.lang.String), removeIdentifier(java.lang.String)

getIdentifier

public Element getIdentifier(java.lang.String idName)

Returns a previously registered element with the specified identifier name, or null if no element is registered.

createRange

public Range createRange()

Description copied from interface: DocumentRange

This interface can be obtained from the object implementing the Document interface using binding-specific casting methods.

Specified by:: createRange in interface DocumentRange

Tags copied from interface: DocumentRange

Returns:: The initial state of the range returned from this method is such that both of its boundary-points are positioned at the beginning of the corresponding Document, before any content. The range returned can only be used to select content associated with this Document, or with DocumentFragments and Attrs for which this Document is the ownerDocument .

createEvent

public Event createEvent(java.lang.String type)
                  throws DOMException

Introduced in DOM Level 2. Optional.

Create and return Event objects.

Specified by:: createEvent in interface DocumentEvent

Parameters:: type - The event set name, defined as the interface name minus package qualifiers. For example, to create a DOMNodeInserted event you'd call createEvent("MutationEvent"), then use its initMutationEvent() method to configure it properly as DOMNodeInserted. This parameter is case-sensitive.
Returns:: an uninitialized Event object. Call the appropriate init...Event() method before dispatching it.
Throws:: DOMException - NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR if the requested event type is not supported in this DOM.

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()
                       throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

Clone.

Overrides:: clone in class java.lang.Object

isXMLName

public static boolean isXMLName(java.lang.String s)

Check the string against XML's definition of acceptable names for elements and attributes and so on. From the XML spec:

[Definition:] A Name is a token beginning with a letter or one of a few punctuation characters, and continuing with letters, digits, hyphens,underscores, colons, or full stops, together known as name characters.

Unfortunately, that spec goes on to say that after the first character, names may use "combining characters" and "extender characters", which are explicitly listed rather than defined in terms of Java's Unicode character types... and which in fact can't be expressed solely in terms of those types.

I've empirically derived some tests which are partly based on the Java Unicode space (which simplifies them considerably), but they still wind up having to be further qualified. This may not remain valid if future extensions of Java and/or Unicode introduce other characters having these type numbers.

Suggestions for alternative implementations would be welcome.

setUserData

protected void setUserData(NodeImpl n,
                           java.lang.Object data)

Store user data related to a given node This is a place where we could use weak references! Indeed, the node here won't be GC'ed as long as some user data is attached to it, since the userData table will have a reference to the node.

getUserData

protected java.lang.Object getUserData(NodeImpl n)

Retreive user data related to a given node

setEventListeners

protected void setEventListeners(NodeImpl n,
                                 java.util.Vector listeners)

Store event listener registered on a given node This is another place where we could use weak references! Indeed, the node here won't be GC'ed as long as some listener is registered on it, since the eventsListeners table will have a reference to the node.

getEventListeners

protected java.util.Vector getEventListeners(NodeImpl n)

Retreive event listener registered on a given node

isKidOK

protected boolean isKidOK(Node parent,
                          Node child)

Uses the kidOK lookup table to check whether the proposed tree structure is legal.

changed

protected void changed()

Denotes that this node has changed.

Overrides:: changed in class NodeImpl

changes

protected int changes()

Returns the number of changes to this node.

Overrides:: changes in class NodeImpl
