Method Summary

java.lang.String	asPath() Returns an XPath that maps to this Pointer.

java.lang.Object	getBaseValue() Returns the value represented by the pointer before indexing.
QName	getExpandedName() Returns a name that consists of the namespaceURI and the local name of the node.
java.lang.Object	getImmediateNode() Returns the object the pointer points to; does not convert it to a "canonical" type.
int	getLength() If the pointer represents a collection (or collection element), returns the length of the collection.
QName	getName() Returns the name of this node.
java.lang.String	getNamespaceURI() Returns the namespace URI associated with this Pointer.
int	hashCode()
boolean	isActual() An actual pointer points to an existing part of an object graph, even if it is null.
boolean	isCollection() Returns true if the value of the pointer is an array or a Collection.
boolean	isLeaf() If true, this node does not have children
void	remove() Remove the node of the object graph this pointer points to.
void	setValue(java.lang.Object value) Sets the value of this attribute.
boolean	testNode(NodeTest nodeTest) Checks if this Pointer matches the supplied NodeTest.

Method Detail

getName

public QName getName()

Description copied from class: NodePointer

Returns the name of this node. Can be null.

Overrides:

getName in class NodePointer

getExpandedName

public QName getExpandedName()

Description copied from class: NodePointer

Returns a name that consists of the namespaceURI and the local name of the node. For non-XML pointers, returns the Pointer's qualified name.

Overrides:

getExpandedName in class NodePointer

getNamespaceURI

public java.lang.String getNamespaceURI()

Description copied from class: NodePointer

Returns the namespace URI associated with this Pointer.

Overrides:

getNamespaceURI in class NodePointer

getBaseValue

public java.lang.Object getBaseValue()

Description copied from class: NodePointer

Returns the value represented by the pointer before indexing. So, if the node represents an element of a collection, this method returns the collection itself.

Overrides:

getBaseValue in class NodePointer

isCollection

public boolean isCollection()

Description copied from class: NodePointer

Returns true if the value of the pointer is an array or a Collection.

Overrides:

isCollection in class NodePointer

getLength

public int getLength()

Description copied from class: NodePointer

If the pointer represents a collection (or collection element), returns the length of the collection. Otherwise returns 1 (even if the value is null).

Overrides:

getLength in class NodePointer

getImmediateNode

public java.lang.Object getImmediateNode()

Description copied from class: NodePointer

Returns the object the pointer points to; does not convert it to a "canonical" type.

Overrides:

getImmediateNode in class NodePointer

isActual

public boolean isActual()

Description copied from class: NodePointer

An actual pointer points to an existing part of an object graph, even if it is null. A non-actual pointer represents a part that does not exist at all. For instance consider the pointer "/address/street". If both address and street are not null, the pointer is actual. If address is not null, but street is null, the pointer is still actual. If address is null, the pointer is not actual. (In JavaBeans) if address is not a property of the root bean, a Pointer for this path cannot be obtained at all - actual or otherwise.

Overrides:

isActual in class NodePointer

isLeaf

public boolean isLeaf()

Description copied from class: NodePointer

If true, this node does not have children

Overrides:

isLeaf in class NodePointer

testNode

public boolean testNode(NodeTest nodeTest)

Description copied from class: NodePointer

Checks if this Pointer matches the supplied NodeTest.

Overrides:

testNode in class NodePointer

setValue

public void setValue(java.lang.Object value)

Sets the value of this attribute.

Overrides:

setValue in class NodePointer

remove

public void remove()

Description copied from class: NodePointer

Remove the node of the object graph this pointer points to.

Overrides:

remove in class NodePointer

asPath

public java.lang.String asPath()

Description copied from class: NodePointer

Returns an XPath that maps to this Pointer.

Overrides:

asPath in class NodePointer

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object object)

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

compareChildNodePointers

public int compareChildNodePointers(NodePointer pointer1,
                                    NodePointer pointer2)

Description copied from class: NodePointer

Compares two child NodePointers and returns a positive number, zero or a positive number according to the order of the pointers.

Overrides:

compareChildNodePointers in class NodePointer
