Method Detail

getData

public java.lang.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(java.lang.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

Parameters:

data - DOCUMENT ME!

attribute

public BeanAttribute attribute(java.lang.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

Parameters:

name - DOCUMENT ME!

Returns:

the attribute for the given local name in any namespace. If there are more than one attributes with the given local name in different namespaces then the first one is returned.

attribute

public BeanAttribute attribute(QName qname)

Description copied from interface: Element

DOCUMENT ME!

Specified by:

attribute in interface Element

Overrides:

attribute in class DefaultElement

Parameters:

qname - is the fully qualified name

Returns:

the attribute for the given fully qualified name or null if it could not be found.

addAttribute

public Element addAttribute(java.lang.String name,
                            java.lang.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

Parameters:

name - is the name of the attribute whose value is to be added or updated

value - is the attribute's value

Returns:

this Element instance.

addAttribute

public Element addAttribute(QName qName,
                            java.lang.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

Parameters:

qName - is the fully qualified name of the attribute whose value is to be added or updated

value - is the attribute's value

Returns:

this Element instance.
