Class AnakiaElement
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
,Cloneable
,org.jdom.Parent
Element
that is tailored for Anakia needs. It has
selectNodes(String)
method as well as a toString()
that
outputs the XML serialized form of the element. This way it acts in much the
same way as a single-element NodeList
would.- Version:

Method Details
-
selectNodes
Applies an XPath expression to this element and returns the resulting node list. In order for this method to work, your application must have access to werken.xpath library classes. The implementation does cache the parsed format of XPath expressions in a weak hash map, keyed by the string representation of the XPath expression. As the string object passed as the argument is usually kept in the parsed template, this ensures that each XPath expression is parsed only once during the lifetime of the template that first invoked it.- Parameters:
xpathExpression
- the XPath expression you wish to apply- Returns:
- a NodeList representing the nodes that are the result of application of the XPath to the current element. It can be empty.
-
toString
Returns the XML serialized form of this element, as produced by the defaultXMLOutputter
.- Overrides:
toString
in classorg.jdom.Element
- Returns:
- The XML serialized form of this element, as produced by the default
XMLOutputter
.
-
getContent
This returns the full content of the element as a NodeList which may contain objects of type
String
,Element
,Comment
,ProcessingInstruction
,CDATA
, andEntityRef
. The List returned is "live" in document order and modifications to it affect the element's actual contents. Whitespace content is returned in its entirety.- Specified by:
getContent
in interfaceorg.jdom.Parent
- Overrides:
getContent
in classorg.jdom.Element
- Returns:
- a
List
containing the mixed content of the element: may containString
,
,Element
,Comment
,ProcessingInstruction
, andCDATA
objects.EntityRef
-
getChildren
This returns a
NodeList
of all the child elements nested directly (one level deep) within this element, asElement
objects. If this target element has no nested elements, an empty List is returned. The returned list is "live" in document order and changes to it affect the element's actual contents.This performs no recursion, so elements nested two levels deep would have to be obtained with:
Iterator itr = currentElement.getChildren().iterator(); while (itr.hasNext()) { Element oneLevelDeep = (Element)nestedElements.next(); List twoLevelsDeep = oneLevelDeep.getChildren(); // Do something with these children }
- Overrides:
getChildren
in classorg.jdom.Element
- Returns:
- list of child
Element
objects for this element
-
getChildren
This returns a
NodeList
of all the child elements nested directly (one level deep) within this element with the given local name and belonging to no namespace, returned asElement
objects. If this target element has no nested elements with the given name outside a namespace, an empty List is returned. The returned list is "live" in document order and changes to it affect the element's actual contents.Please see the notes for
for a code example.getChildren()
- Overrides:
getChildren
in classorg.jdom.Element
- Parameters:
name
- local name for the children to match- Returns:
- all matching child elements
-
getChildren
This returns a
NodeList
of all the child elements nested directly (one level deep) within this element with the given local name and belonging to the given Namespace, returned asElement
objects. If this target element has no nested elements with the given name in the given Namespace, an empty List is returned. The returned list is "live" in document order and changes to it affect the element's actual contents.Please see the notes for
for a code example.getChildren()
- Overrides:
getChildren
in classorg.jdom.Element
- Parameters:
name
- local name for the children to matchns
-Namespace
to search within- Returns:
- all matching child elements
-
getAttributes
This returns the complete set of attributes for this element, as a
NodeList
ofAttribute
objects in no particular order, or an empty list if there are none. The returned list is "live" and changes to it affect the element's actual attributes.- Overrides:
getAttributes
in classorg.jdom.Element
- Returns:
- attributes for the element
