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.

makeTextNode

TextImpl makeTextNode(NodeInfo parent,
                    CharSequence content)

Make a text node

Parameters:

content - the content of the text node

Returns:

the constructed text node
