Class DomEntity
java.lang.Object
gnu.xml.dom.DomNode
gnu.xml.dom.DomExtern
gnu.xml.dom.DomEntity
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- Cloneable, DocumentEvent, Entity, EventTarget, Node, NodeList
- public class DomEntity
- extends DomExtern
- implements Entity
"Entity" implementation. This is a non-core DOM class, supporting the
"XML" feature. There are two types of entities, neither of which works
particularly well in this API:
- Unparsed Entities
- Since ENTITY/ENTITIES attributes, the only legal use of unparsed
entities in XML, can't be detected with DOM, there isn't much point in
trying to use unparsed entities in DOM applications. (XML Linking is
working to provide a better version of this functionality.)
- Parsed Entities
- While the DOM specification permits nodes for parsed entities
to have a readonly set of children, this is not required and there
is no portable way to provide such children. This implementation
currently does not permit children to be added to Entities.
There are related issues with the use of EntityReference nodes.
In short, avoid using this DOM functionality.

DomEntity
protected DomEntity(Document owner,
String name,
String publicId,
String systemId,
String notation)
- Constructs an Entity node associated with the specified document,
with the specified descriptive data.
This constructor should only be invoked by a DomDoctype as part
of its declareEntity functionality, or through a subclass which is
similarly used in a "Sub-DOM" style layer.
- Parameters:
owner
- The document with which this entity is associatedname
- Name of this entitypublicId
- If non-null, provides the entity's PUBLIC identifiersystemId
- Provides the entity's SYSTEM identifier (URI)notation
- If non-null, provides the unparsed entity's notation.
getNotationName
public final String getNotationName()
- DOM L1
Returns the NOTATION identifier associated with this entity, if any.
- Specified by:
getNotationName
in interface Entity
getNodeType
public final short getNodeType()
- DOM L1
Returns the constant ENTITY_NODE.
- Specified by:
getNodeType
in interface Node
