Constructor Detail

Container

protected Container(org.w3c.dom.Element containerDOMElem,
                    org.w3c.dom.Document owningDoc)

Creates a new container from the specified container DOM element. If the specified container element stems from another DOM document than the specified owning document, the element will be deeply cloned using the DOM level 2 method Document.importNode(org.w3c.dom.Node, boolean), and the cloned element will be used as the container.

Parameters:

containerDOMElem - The container's DOM element representation.

owningDoc - The DOM document which should be used to create necessary DOM nodes.

Container

protected Container(org.w3c.dom.Document owningDoc,
                    java.lang.String elementTagName,
                    java.lang.String content)

Creates a new container with the specified string value as DOM text child.

Parameters:

owningDoc - The DOM document which should be used to create necessary DOM nodes.

elementTagName - The name for the DOM element representing the container.

content - The value for the DOM text child to be created.

Container

protected Container(org.w3c.dom.Document owningDoc,
                    java.lang.String elementTagName,
                    org.w3c.dom.Element content)

Creates a new container with the specified DOM element as its child. If the content element stems from another DOM document than the specified owning document, the element will be deeply cloned by using the DOM level 2 method Document.importNode(org.w3c.dom.Node, boolean), and the cloned element will be used as content for the container.

Parameters:

owningDoc - The DOM document which should be used to create necessary DOM nodes.

elementTagName - The name for the DOM element representing the container.

content - The DOM element to be set as the content of the Container.

Container

protected Container(org.w3c.dom.Document owningDoc,
                    java.lang.String elementTagName,
                    org.w3c.dom.DocumentFragment content)

Creates a new container with the specified DOM document fragment as its content. If the content document fragment stems from another DOM document than the specified owning document, the document fragment will be deeply cloned by using the DOM level 2 method Document.importNode(org.w3c.dom.Node, boolean), and the cloned document fragment will be used as content for the container.

Parameters:

owningDoc - The DOM document which should be used to create necessary DOM nodes.

elementTagName - The name for the DOM element representing the container.

content - The DOM document fragment to be set as the content of the Container.

Method Detail

toElement

public org.w3c.dom.Element toElement()

Gets a DOM element representation of this container object. Please note, that the generation of the resulting DOM element does not preserve DOM implementation internals such as mechanisms to keep track of ID attributes.

Returns:

a DOM element representation of this container object.
