Method Detail

addPrefixNamespaceMapping

public void addPrefixNamespaceMapping(java.lang.String prefix,
                                      java.lang.String namespace)

A convenience method to add a namespace mapping

Parameters:

prefix - The prefix which maps to a namespace

namespace - The namespace

setDefaultNamespace

public void setDefaultNamespace(java.lang.String namespace)

Sets the default namespace. This is equivalent to adding mapping from the empty string prefix to a namespace.

Parameters:

namespace - The namespace to be set.

containsPrefixMapping

public boolean containsPrefixMapping(java.lang.String prefix)

Description copied from interface: NamespaceManager

Determines if this manager knows about a given namespace prefix and it contains a (non-null) mapping for the prefix.

Specified by:

containsPrefixMapping in interface NamespaceManager

Parameters:

prefix - The prefix to be tested for.

Returns:

true if the manager knows about this prefix and there is a non-null mapping for this prefix.

getNamespacesByPrefixMap

public java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> getNamespacesByPrefixMap()

Gets a map that maps namespace prefixes to namespaces

Returns:

Gets a map that maps namespace prefixes to namespaces.

getDefaultNamespace

public java.lang.String getDefaultNamespace()

Description copied from interface: NamespaceManager

Gets the default namespace.

Specified by:

getDefaultNamespace in interface NamespaceManager

Returns:

The default namespace, or null if there is no default namespace.

getNamespaceMap

public java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> getNamespaceMap()

Description copied from interface: NamespaceManager

Gets a map that maps prefixes to namespaces.

Specified by:

getNamespaceMap in interface NamespaceManager

Returns:

The map of prefixes to namespaces. Note that modifying the contents of this map will not change the prefix - namespace mappings

getNamespace

public java.lang.String getNamespace(java.lang.String prefix)

Description copied from interface: NamespaceManager

Gets the namespace that is bound to a particular prefix. Note that specifying the empty string corresponds to requesting the default namespace and will return the same result as a call to the getDefaultNamespace() method.

Specified by:

getNamespace in interface NamespaceManager

Parameters:

prefix - The namespace prefix. A string that represents a namespace prefix of the namespace to be retrieved. Note that specifying the empty string is the same as asking for the default namespace (see the getDefaultNamespace() method).

Returns:

The namespace, or null if there is no namespace bound to this prefix, or the prefix doesn't exist.

getURI

public java.net.URI getURI(java.lang.String curi)

Description copied from interface: NamespaceManager

Gets the URI for a given CURI. The CURI must have a namespace prefix that is registered with this namespace manager, or a runtime exception will be thrown.

Specified by:

getURI in interface NamespaceManager

Parameters:

curi - The CURI

Returns:

The full URI.
