public abstract class AbstractEntity extends AbstractNode implements Entity
AbstractEntity
is an abstract base class for tree implementors
to use for implementation inheritence.

Modifier and Type | Method and Description |
---|---|
void |
accept(Visitor visitor)
accept is the method used in the Visitor Pattern. |
String |
asXML()
asXML returns the textual XML representation of this node. |
short |
getNodeType()
Returns the code according to the type of node.
|
String |
getPath(Element context)
Returns the relative XPath expression which will return a node set
containing the given node such as a/b/@c.
|
String |
getStringValue()
Returns the XPath string-value of this node.
|
String |
getUniquePath(Element context)
Returns the relative unique XPath expression from the given context which
will return a nodeset of one node which is the current node.
|
String |
toString() |
void |
write(Writer writer)
write writes this node as the default XML notation for
this node. |

context
- is the parent context from which the relative path should
start. If the context is null or the context is not an
ancestor of this node then the path will be absolute and start
from the document and so begin with the '/' character.public String getUniquePath(Element context)
Node
Returns the relative unique XPath expression from the given context which will return a nodeset of one node which is the current node. This method will use the XPath index operator to restrict the path if multiple elements with the same name occur on the path.

public void write(Writer writer) throws IOException
Node
write
writes this node as the default XML notation for
this node. If you wish to control the XML output (such as for pretty
printing, changing the indentation policy etc.) then please use XMLWriter
or its derivations.
