    All Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `void` | `endOfNode()` Primarily used for making final content model validation checks and/or informing the `FOEventHandler` that the end of this FO has been reached.
    `String` | `getInternalDestination()` Returns the internal destination (an reference of the id property of any FO).
    `String` | `getLocalName()` Returns the local name (i.e.
    `String` | `getNamespaceURI()` Returns the namespace URI for this node

    `void` | `processNode(String elementName, Locator locator, Attributes attlist, PropertyList pList)` Initialize the node with its name, location information, and attributes The attributes must be used immediately as the sax attributes will be altered for the next element.
    `protected void` | `validateChildNode(Locator loc, String nsURI, String localName)` Checks to make sure, during SAX processing of input document, that the incoming node is valid for this (parent) node (e.g., checking to see that `fo:table` is not an immediate child of `fo:root`) called from `FOTreeBuilder.startElement(String, String, String, Attributes)` before constructing the child `FObj`.

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### Destination

          public Destination(FONode parent)

      Constructs a Destination object (called by Maker).
      Parameters:
        `parent` - the parent formatting object

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### processNode

          public void processNode(String elementName,
                                  Locator locator,
                                  Attributes attlist,
                                  PropertyList pList)
                           throws FOPException

      Initialize the node with its name, location information, and attributes The attributes must be used immediately as the sax attributes will be altered for the next element.
      Overrides:
        `processNode` in class `FONode`
      Parameters:
        `elementName` - element name (e.g., "fo:block")
        `locator` - Locator object (ignored by default)
        `attlist` - Collection of attributes passed to us from the parser.
        `pList` - the property list of the parent node
      Throws:
        `FOPException` - for errors or inconsistencies in the attributes

    - #### endOfNode

          public void endOfNode()
                         throws FOPException

      Primarily used for making final content model validation checks and/or informing the `FOEventHandler` that the end of this FO has been reached. The default implementation simply calls `FONode.finalizeNode()`, without sending any event to the `FOEventHandler`.

      Note: the recommended way to override this method in subclasses is

      `super.endOfNode(); // invoke finalizeNode()`

      `getFOEventHandler().endXXX(); // send endOfNode() notification`

      Overrides:
        `endOfNode` in class `FONode`
      Throws:
        `FOPException` - if there's a problem during processing

    - #### validateChildNode

          protected void validateChildNode(Locator loc,
                                           String nsURI,
                                           String localName)
                                    throws ValidationException

      Checks to make sure, during SAX processing of input document, that the incoming node is valid for this (parent) node (e.g., checking to see that `fo:table` is not an immediate child of `fo:root`) called from `FOTreeBuilder.startElement(String, String, String, Attributes)` before constructing the child `FObj`. XSL/FOP: empty
      Overrides:
        `validateChildNode` in class `FONode`
      Parameters:
        `loc` - location in the FO source file
        `nsURI` - namespace of incoming node
        `localName` - name of the incoming node (without namespace prefix)
      Throws:
        `ValidationException` - if incoming node not valid for parent

    - #### getInternalDestination

          public String getInternalDestination()

      Returns the internal destination (an reference of the id property of any FO).
      Returns:
        the internal destination

    - #### getNamespaceURI

          public String getNamespaceURI()

      Returns the namespace URI for this node
      Overrides:
        `getNamespaceURI` in class `FONode`
      Returns:
        the namespace URI for this node

    - #### getNormalNamespacePrefix

          public String getNormalNamespacePrefix()

      Returns the normally used namespace prefix for this node
      Specified by:
        `getNormalNamespacePrefix` in class `FONode`
      Returns:
        the normally used namespace prefix for this kind of node (ex. "fo" for XSL-FO)

    - #### getLocalName

          public String getLocalName()

      Returns the local name (i.e. without namespace prefix) of the node
      Specified by:
        `getLocalName` in class `FONode`
      Returns:
        the local name of this node
