Constructor Detail

DOM4JDocumentWrapper

public DOM4JDocumentWrapper(org.dom4j.Document doc,
                    String baseURI,
                    Configuration config)

Create a Saxon wrapper for a dom4j document

Parameters:

doc - The dom4j document

baseURI - The base URI for all the nodes in the document

config - The Saxon configuration

Method Detail

wrap

public NodeInfo wrap(org.dom4j.Node node)

Wrap a node in the dom4j document.

Parameters:

node - The node to be wrapped. This must be a node in the same document (the system does not check for this).

Returns:

the wrapping NodeInfo object

selectID

public NodeInfo selectID(String id,
                boolean getParent)

Get the element with a given ID, if any

Specified by:

selectID in interface TreeInfo

Overrides:

selectID in class GenericTreeInfo

Parameters:

id - the required ID value

getParent -

Returns:

null: dom4j does not provide any information about attribute types.

searchForParent

public static org.dom4j.Branch searchForParent(org.dom4j.Branch subtree,
                               org.dom4j.Node node)

DOM4J does not guarantee to provide the parent of a node, but XDM requires this. In extremis, if we need the parent of a node and it is not known, we search the document looking for it. This is (fortunately!) very rarely necessary. One situation where we know it is needed is to find the parent of a processing instruction whose parent is in fact the document node.

Parameters:

subtree - the root of a subtree to be searched

node - a node to be sought within this subtree

Returns:

the parent of the sought node if it is found; otherwise null
