Constructor Detail

PrefixResolverDefault

public PrefixResolverDefault(Node xpathExpressionContext)

Construct a PrefixResolverDefault object.

Parameters:

xpathExpressionContext - The context from which XPath expression prefixes will be resolved. Warning: This will not work correctly if xpathExpressionContext is an attribute node.

xpathExpressionContext - Node from which to start searching for a xmlns attribute that binds a prefix to a namespace (when the namespace context is not specified in the getNamespaceForPrefix call).

Method Detail

getNamespaceForPrefix

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

Given a namespace, get the corrisponding prefix. This assumes that the PrevixResolver hold's it's own namespace context, or is a namespace context itself.

Specified by:

getNamespaceForPrefix in interface PrefixResolver

Parameters:

prefix - Prefix to resolve.

Returns:

Namespace that prefix resolves to, or null if prefix is not bound.

getNamespaceForPrefix

public java.lang.String getNamespaceForPrefix(java.lang.String prefix,
                                              Node namespaceContext)

Given a namespace, get the corrisponding prefix. Warning: This will not work correctly if namespaceContext is an attribute node.

Specified by:

getNamespaceForPrefix in interface PrefixResolver

Parameters:

prefix - Prefix to resolve.

namespaceContext - Node from which to start searching for a xmlns attribute that binds a prefix to a namespace.

Returns:

Namespace that prefix resolves to, or null if prefix is not bound.

getBaseIdentifier

public java.lang.String getBaseIdentifier()

Return the base identifier.

Specified by:

getBaseIdentifier in interface PrefixResolver

Returns:

null

handlesNullPrefixes

public boolean handlesNullPrefixes()

Specified by:

handlesNullPrefixes in interface PrefixResolver
