Class DomNotation

Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable, Comparable, DocumentEvent, EventTarget, Node, NodeList, Notation

public class DomNotation
extends DomExtern
implements Notation

"Notation" implementation. This is a non-core DOM class, supporting the "XML" feature.

Although unparsed entities using this notation can be detected using DOM, neither NOTATIONS nor ENTITY/ENTITIES attributes can be so detected. More, there is no portable way to construct a Notation node, so there's no way that vendor-neutral DOM construction APIs could even report a NOTATION used to identify the intended meaning of a ProcessingInstruction.

In short, avoid using this DOM functionality.

Constructor Details

DomNotation

protected DomNotation(DomDocument owner,
                      String name,
                      String publicId,
                      String systemId)
Constructs a Notation node associated with the specified document, with the specified descriptive data. Note that at least one of the PUBLIC and SYSTEM identifiers must be provided; unlike other external objects in XML, notations may have only a PUBLIC identifier.

This constructor should only be invoked by a DomDoctype object as part of its declareNotation functionality, or through a subclass which is similarly used in a "Sub-DOM" style layer.

Parameters:
owner - The document with which this notation is associated
name - Name of this notation
publicId - If non-null, provides the notation's PUBLIC identifier
systemId - If non-null, rovides the notation's SYSTEM identifier

Method Details

getBaseURI

public String getBaseURI()
The base URI of an external entity is its system ID. The base URI of an internal entity is the parent document's base URI.
Specified by:
getBaseURI in interface Node
Overrides:
getBaseURI in interface DomNode
