XML_NAMESPACE_PREFIX

public static final String XML_NAMESPACE_PREFIX
The reserved XML Namespace Prefix

Constructor Details

Namespaces

public Namespaces()
Creates a new Namespaces instance

Namespaces

public Namespaces(Namespaces parent)
Creates a new Namespaces instance

Method Details

addNamespace

public void addNamespace(String prefix,
                         String uri)
Adds the given namespace declaration to this Namespaces
Parameters:
prefix - the namespace prefix
uri - the namespace URI to be associated with the given prefix

createNamespaces

public Namespaces createNamespaces()
Creates a new Namespaces instance with this Namespaces as the parent

declareAsAttributes

public void declareAsAttributes(AttributeListImpl atts,
                                boolean localOnly)
Declare the namespaces of this stack in as attributes.
Parameters:
atts - the Attribute List to fill in.

getLocalNamespacePrefixes

public Enumeration getLocalNamespacePrefixes()
Returns all namespace prefixes declared locally
Returns:
an Enumeration of locally declared namespace prefixes

getLocalNamespaces

public Enumeration getLocalNamespaces()
Returns an Enumeration of local namespace URIs for this Namespaces.
Returns:
an Enumeration of local namespace URIs.

getNamespacePrefix

public String getNamespacePrefix(String nsURI)
Returns the Namespace prefix associated with the given URI. If multiple namespace prefixes have been declared, then the first one found is returned. To obtain all prefixes see #getNamespacePrefixes.
Parameters:
nsURI - the namespace URI to lookup
Returns:
the namespace prefix associated with the given URI

getNamespacePrefixes

public String[] getNamespacePrefixes(String nsURI)
Returns all namespace prefixes associated with the given URI, including those from parent scopes.
Parameters:
nsURI - the namespace URI to lookup
Returns:
the namespace prefixes associated with the given URI

getNamespacePrefixes

public String[] getNamespacePrefixes(String nsURI,
                                     boolean local)
Returns the Namespace prefixes associated with the given URI.
Parameters:
nsURI - the namespace URI to lookup
local - a boolean that when true indicates only the local scope is searched.
Returns:
the namespace prefixes associated with the given URI

getNamespaceURI

public String getNamespaceURI(String prefix)
Returns the Namespace URI associated with the given prefix
Parameters:
prefix - the namespace prefix to lookup
Returns:
the namespace URI associated with the given prefix

getNonDefaultNamespacePrefix

public String getNonDefaultNamespacePrefix(String nsURI)
Returns the Namespace prefix associated with the given URI. Or null if no prefix has been declared. This method will ignore the default namespace. This is useful when dealing with attributes that do not use the default namespace.
Parameters:
nsURI - the namespace URI to lookup
Returns:
the namespace prefix associated with the given URI

getParent

public Namespaces getParent()
Returns the parent Namespaces for this Namespaces instance.
Returns:
the parent Namespaces for this Namespaces instance.

removeNamespace

public boolean removeNamespace(String prefix)
Removes the namespace declaration for the given prefix. This is a local action only, the namespace declaration will not be removed from any parent Namespaces object.
Parameters:
prefix - the namespace prefix to remove the binding of
Returns:
true if the namespace declaration was removed, otherwise false.

setParent

public void setParent(Namespaces namespaces)
Sets the parent Namespaces for this Namespaces instance.
Parameters:
namespaces - the parent Namespaces
