public class AttrImpl
extends NodeImpl
implements org.w3c.dom.Attr, org.w3c.dom.TypeInfo

Attribute represents an XML-style attribute of an Element. Typically, the allowable values are controlled by its declaration in the Document Type Definition (DTD) governing this kind of document.

If the attribute has not been explicitly assigned a value, but has been declared in the DTD, it will exist and have that default. Only if neither the document nor the DTD specifies a value will the Attribute really be considered absent and have no value; in that case, querying the attribute will return null.

Attributes may have multiple children that contain their data. (XML allows attributes to contain entity references, and tokenized attribute types such as NMTOKENS may have a child for each token.) For convenience, the Attribute object's getValue() method returns the string version of the attribute's value.

Attributes are not children of the Elements they belong to, in the usual sense, and have no valid Parent reference. However, the spec says they _do_ belong to a specific Element, and an INUSE exception is to be thrown if the user attempts to explicitly share them between elements.

Note that Elements do not permit attributes to appear to be shared (see the INUSE exception), so this object's mutability is officially not an issue.

Note: The ownerNode attribute is used to store the Element the Attr node is associated with. Attr nodes do not have parent nodes. Besides, the getOwnerElement() method can be used to get the element node this attribute is associated with.

AttrImpl does not support Namespaces. AttrNSImpl, which inherits from it, does.

AttrImpl used to inherit from ParentNode. It now directly inherits from NodeImpl and provide its own implementation of the ParentNode's behavior. The reason is that we now try and avoid to always create a Text node to hold the value of an attribute. The DOM spec requires it, so we still have to do it in case getFirstChild() is called for instance. The reason attribute values are stored as a list of nodes is so that they can carry more than a simple string. They can also contain EntityReference nodes. However, most of the times people only have a single string that they only set and get through Element.set/getAttribute or Attr.set/getValue. In this new version, the Attr node has a value pointer which can either be the String directly or a pointer to the first ChildNode. A flag tells which one it currently is. Note that while we try to stick with the direct String as much as possible once we've switched to a node there is no going back. This is because we have no way to know whether the application keeps referring to the node we once returned.

The gain in memory varies on the density of attributes in the document. But in the tests I've run I've seen up to 12% of memory gain. And the good thing is that it also leads to a slight gain in speed because we allocate fewer objects! I mean, that's until we have to actually create the node...

To avoid too much duplicated code, I got rid of ParentNode and renamed ChildAndParentNode, which I never really liked, to ParentNode for simplicity, this doesn't make much of a difference in memory usage because there are only very few objects that are only a Parent. This is only true now because AttrImpl now inherits directly from NodeImpl and has its own implementation of the ParentNode's node behavior. So there is still some duplicated code there.

This class doesn't directly support mutation events, however, it notifies the document when mutations are performed so that the document class do so.

WARNING: Some of the code here is partially duplicated in ParentNode, be careful to keep these two classes in sync!

  This can either be a String or the first child node.

### name

    protected java.lang.String name

  Attribute name.

Constructor Detail

### AttrImpl

    protected AttrImpl(CoreDocumentImpl ownerDocument,
                       java.lang.String name)

  Attribute has no public constructor. Please use the factory method in the Document class.

### AttrImpl

    protected AttrImpl()

Method Detail

### makeChildNode

    protected void makeChildNode()

### setOwnerDocument

    protected void setOwnerDocument(CoreDocumentImpl doc)

  NON-DOM set the ownerDocument of this node and its children
  Overrides:
    `setOwnerDocument` in class `NodeImpl`

### setIdAttribute

    public void setIdAttribute(boolean id)

  NON-DOM: set the type of this attribute to be ID type.
  Parameters:
    `id` -

### isId

    public boolean isId()

  DOM Level 3: isId
  Specified by:
    `isId` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Attr`

### cloneNode

    public org.w3c.dom.Node cloneNode(boolean deep)

  Description copied from interface: `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Returns a duplicate of this node, i.e., serves as a generic copy constructor for nodes. The duplicate node has no parent ( `parentNode` is `null`) and no user data. User data associated to the imported node is not carried over. However, if any `UserDataHandlers` has been specified along with the associated data these handlers will be called with the appropriate parameters before this method returns.
  Cloning an `Element` copies all attributes and their values, including those generated by the XML processor to represent defaulted attributes, but this method does not copy any children it contains unless it is a deep clone. This includes text contained in an the `Element` since the text is contained in a child `Text` node. Cloning an `Attr` directly, as opposed to be cloned as part of an `Element` cloning operation, returns a specified attribute (`specified` is `true`). Cloning an `Attr` always clones its children, since they represent its value, no matter whether this is a deep clone or not. Cloning an `EntityReference` automatically constructs its subtree if a corresponding `Entity` is available, no matter whether this is a deep clone or not. Cloning any other type of node simply returns a copy of this node.
  Note that cloning an immutable subtree results in a mutable copy, but the children of an `EntityReference` clone are readonly . In addition, clones of unspecified `Attr` nodes are specified. And, cloning `Document`, `DocumentType`, `Entity`, and `Notation` nodes is implementation dependent.
  Specified by:
    `cloneNode` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Overrides:
    `cloneNode` in class `NodeImpl`
  Following copied from interface: `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Parameters:
    `deep` - If `true`, recursively clone the subtree under the specified node; if `false`, clone only the node itself (and its attributes, if it is an `Element`).
  Returns:
    The duplicate node.

### getNodeType

    public short getNodeType()

  A short integer indicating what type of node this is. The named constants for this value are defined in the org.w3c.dom.Node interface.
  Specified by:
    `getNodeType` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Overrides:
    `getNodeType` in class `NodeImpl`

### getNodeName

    public java.lang.String getNodeName()

  Returns the attribute name
  Specified by:
    `getNodeName` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Overrides:
    `getNodeName` in class `NodeImpl`

### setNodeValue

    public void setNodeValue(java.lang.String value)
                      throws org.w3c.dom.DOMException

  Implicit in the rerouting of getNodeValue to getValue is the need to redefine setNodeValue, for symmetry's sake. Note that since we're explicitly providing a value, Specified should be set true.... even if that value equals the default.
  Specified by:
    `setNodeValue` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Overrides:
    `setNodeValue` in class `NodeImpl`
  Following copied from interface: `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Throws:
    `org.w3c.dom.DOMException` - NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised when the node is readonly and if it is not defined to be `null`.

### getTypeName

    public java.lang.String getTypeName()

  Description copied from interface: `org.w3c.dom.TypeInfo`
  The name of a type declared for the associated element or attribute, or `null` if unknown.
  Specified by:
    `getTypeName` in interface `org.w3c.dom.TypeInfo`
  See Also:
    `TypeInfo.getTypeName()`

### getTypeNamespace

    public java.lang.String getTypeNamespace()

  Description copied from interface: `org.w3c.dom.TypeInfo`
  The namespace of the type declared for the associated element or attribute or `null` if the element does not have declaration or if no namespace information is available.
  Specified by:
    `getTypeNamespace` in interface `org.w3c.dom.TypeInfo`
  See Also:
    `TypeInfo.getTypeNamespace()`

### getSchemaTypeInfo

    public org.w3c.dom.TypeInfo getSchemaTypeInfo()

  Method getSchemaTypeInfo.
  Specified by:
    `getSchemaTypeInfo` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Attr`
  Returns:
    TypeInfo

### getNodeValue

    public java.lang.String getNodeValue()

  In Attribute objects, NodeValue is considered a synonym for Value.
  Specified by:
    `getNodeValue` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Overrides:
    `getNodeValue` in class `NodeImpl`
  See Also:
    `getValue()`

### getName

    public java.lang.String getName()

  In Attributes, NodeName is considered a synonym for the attribute's Name
  Specified by:
    `getName` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Attr`

### setValue

    public void setValue(java.lang.String newvalue)

  The DOM doesn't clearly define what setValue(null) means. I've taken it as "remove all children", which from outside should appear similar to setting it to the empty string.
  Specified by:
    `setValue` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Attr`
  Following copied from interface: `org.w3c.dom.Attr`
  Throws:
    `org.w3c.dom.DOMException` - NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised when the node is readonly.

### getValue

    public java.lang.String getValue()

  The "string value" of an Attribute is its text representation, which in turn is a concatenation of the string values of its children.
  Specified by:
    `getValue` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Attr`

### getSpecified

    public boolean getSpecified()

  The "specified" flag is true if and only if this attribute's value was explicitly specified in the original document. Note that the implementation, not the user, is in charge of this property. If the user asserts an Attribute value (even if it ends up having the same value as the default), it is considered a specified attribute. If you really want to revert to the default, delete the attribute from the Element, and the Implementation will re-assert the default (if any) in its place, with the appropriate specified=false setting.
  Specified by:
    `getSpecified` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Attr`

### getElement

    public org.w3c.dom.Element getElement()

  Deprecated. Previous working draft of DOM Level 2. New method is `getOwnerElement()`.

  Returns the element node that this attribute is associated with, or null if the attribute has not been added to an element.
  See Also:
    `getOwnerElement()`

### getOwnerElement

    public org.w3c.dom.Element getOwnerElement()

  Returns the element node that this attribute is associated with, or null if the attribute has not been added to an element.
  Specified by:
    `getOwnerElement` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Attr`
  Since:
    WD-DOM-Level-2-19990719

### normalize

    public void normalize()

  Description copied from interface: `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Puts all `Text` nodes in the full depth of the sub-tree underneath this `Node`, including attribute nodes, into a "normal" form where only structure (e.g., elements, comments, processing instructions, CDATA sections, and entity references) separates `Text` nodes, i.e., there are neither adjacent `Text` nodes nor empty `Text` nodes. This can be used to ensure that the DOM view of a document is the same as if it were saved and re-loaded, and is useful when operations (such as XPointer [XPointer] lookups) that depend on a particular document tree structure are to be used. If the parameter "normalize-characters" of the `DOMConfiguration` object attached to the `Node.ownerDocument` is `true`, this method will also fully normalize the characters of the `Text` nodes.

  Note: In cases where the document contains `CDATASections`, the normalize operation alone may not be sufficient, since XPointers do not differentiate between `Text` nodes and `CDATASection` nodes.

  Specified by:
    `normalize` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Overrides:
    `normalize` in class `NodeImpl`

### setSpecified

    public void setSpecified(boolean arg)

  NON-DOM, for use by parser

### setType

    public void setType(java.lang.Object type)

  NON-DOM: used by the parser
  Parameters:
    `type` -

### toString

    public java.lang.String toString()

  NON-DOM method for debugging convenience
  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `NodeImpl`

### hasChildNodes

    public boolean hasChildNodes()

  Test whether this node has any children. Convenience shorthand for (Node.getFirstChild()!=null)
  Specified by:
    `hasChildNodes` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Overrides:
    `hasChildNodes` in class `NodeImpl`
  Following copied from interface: `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Returns:
    Returns `true` if this node has any children, `false` otherwise.

### getChildNodes

    public org.w3c.dom.NodeList getChildNodes()

  Obtain a NodeList enumerating all children of this node. If there are none, an (initially) empty NodeList is returned.

  NodeLists are "live"; as children are added/removed the NodeList will immediately reflect those changes. Also, the NodeList refers to the actual nodes, so changes to those nodes made via the DOM tree will be reflected in the NodeList and vice versa.

  In this implementation, Nodes implement the NodeList interface and provide their own getChildNodes() support. Other DOMs may solve this differently.

  Specified by:
    `getChildNodes` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Overrides:
    `getChildNodes` in class `NodeImpl`

### getFirstChild

    public org.w3c.dom.Node getFirstChild()

  Specified by:
    `getFirstChild` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Overrides:
    `getFirstChild` in class `NodeImpl`
  Following copied from class: `org.apache.xerces.dom.NodeImpl`
  See Also:
    `ParentNode`

### getLastChild

    public org.w3c.dom.Node getLastChild()

  The last child of this Node, or null if none.
  Specified by:
    `getLastChild` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Overrides:
    `getLastChild` in class `NodeImpl`

                                         org.w3c.dom.Node refChild)
                                  throws org.w3c.dom.DOMException

  Move one or more node(s) to our list of children. Note that this implicitly removes them from their previous parent.
  Specified by:
    `insertBefore` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Overrides:
    `insertBefore` in class `NodeImpl`
  Parameters:
    `newChild` - The Node to be moved to our subtree. As a convenience feature, inserting a DocumentNode will instead insert all its children.
    `refChild` - Current child which newChild should be placed immediately before. If refChild is null, the insertion occurs after all existing Nodes, like appendChild().
  Returns:
    newChild, in its new state (relocated, or emptied in the case of DocumentNode.)
  Throws:
    `DOMException(HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR)` - if newChild is of a type that shouldn't be a child of this node, or if newChild is an ancestor of this node.
    `DOMException(WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR)` - if newChild has a different owner document than we do.
    `DOMException(NOT_FOUND_ERR)` - if refChild is not a child of this node.
    `DOMException(NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR)` - if this node is read-only.

### removeChild

    public org.w3c.dom.Node removeChild(org.w3c.dom.Node oldChild)
                                 throws org.w3c.dom.DOMException

  Remove a child from this Node. The removed child's subtree remains intact so it may be re-inserted elsewhere.
  Specified by:
    `removeChild` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Overrides:
    `removeChild` in class `NodeImpl`
  Returns:
    oldChild, in its new state (removed).
  Throws:
    `DOMException(NOT_FOUND_ERR)` - if oldChild is not a child of this node.
    `DOMException(NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR)` - if this node is read-only.

### replaceChild

    public org.w3c.dom.Node replaceChild(org.w3c.dom.Node newChild,
                                         org.w3c.dom.Node oldChild)
                                  throws org.w3c.dom.DOMException

  Specified by:
    `replaceChild` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Overrides:
    `replaceChild` in class `NodeImpl`
  Returns:
    oldChild, in its new state (removed).
  Throws:
    `DOMException(HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR)` - if newChild is of a type that shouldn't be a child of this node, or if newChild is one of our ancestors.
    `DOMException(WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR)` - if newChild has a different owner document than we do.
    `DOMException(NOT_FOUND_ERR)` - if oldChild is not a child of this node.
    `DOMException(NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR)` - if this node is read-only.
