Method Detail

makeElementNode

ElementImpl makeElementNode(NodeInfo parent,
                            NodeName nameCode,
                            SchemaType elementType,
                            boolean isNilled,
                            AttributeCollectionImpl attlist,
                            NamespaceBinding[] namespaces,
                            int namespacesUsed,
                            PipelineConfiguration pipe,
                            int locationId,
                            int sequenceNumber)

Create an Element node

Parameters:

parent - The parent element

nameCode - The element name

elementType - The type annotation of the element

isNilled - true if the element is to be marked as nilled

attlist - The attribute collection, excluding any namespace attributes

namespaces - List of new namespace declarations for this element, as a sequence of namespace codes representing pairs of strings: (prefix1, uri1), (prefix2, uri2)...

namespacesUsed - the number of elemnts of the namespaces array actually used

pipe - The pipeline configuration (provides access to the error listener and the location provider)

locationId - Indicates the source document and line number containing the node

sequenceNumber - Sequence number to be assigned to represent document order.
