org.jaxen.dom.NamespaceNode

All Implemented Interfaces:

Node

public class NamespaceNode
extends Object
implements Node

Extension DOM2/DOM3 node type for a namespace node.

This class implements the DOM2 and DOM3 Node interface to allow namespace nodes to be included in the result set of an XPath selectNodes operation, even though DOM does not model namespaces in scope as separate nodes.

While all of the DOM2 methods are implemented with reasonable defaults, there will be some unexpected surprises, so users are advised to test for NamespaceNodes and filter them out from the result sets as early as possible.

1. The getNodeType() method returns NAMESPACE_NODE, which is not one of the usual DOM2 node types. Generic code may fall unexpectedly out of switch statements, for example.
2. The getOwnerDocument() method returns the owner document of the parent node, but that owner document will know nothing about the namespace node.
3. The isSupported(java.lang.String, java.lang.String) method always returns false.
4. The DOM3 methods sometimes throw UnsupportedOperationException. They're here only to allow this class to be compiled with Java 1.5. Do not call or rely on them.

All attempts to modify a NamespaceNode will fail with a DOMException (DOMException.NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR).
