public abstract class ChildAndParentNode
extends ChildNode

If we had multiple inheritance ChildAndParentNode would simply inherit both from ChildNode and ParentNode. In this case it only inherits from ChildNode and all the code of ParentNode is duplicated here (bummer :-(

Constructor Detail

### ChildAndParentNode

    protected ChildAndParentNode(DocumentImpl ownerDocument)

  No public constructor; only subclasses of ParentNode should be instantiated, and those normally via a Document's factory methods

### ChildAndParentNode

    public ChildAndParentNode()

  Constructor for serialization.

Method Detail

### cloneNode

    public Node cloneNode(boolean deep)

  Returns a duplicate of a given node. You can consider this a generic "copy constructor" for nodes. The newly returned object should be completely independent of the source object's subtree, so changes in one after the clone has been made will not affect the other.

  Example: Cloning a Text node will copy both the node and the text it contains.

  Example: Cloning something that has children -- Element or Attr, for example -- will _not_ clone those children unless a "deep clone" has been requested. A shallow clone of an Attr node will yield an empty Attr of the same name.

  NOTE: Clones will always be read/write, even if the node being cloned is read-only, to permit applications using only the DOM API to obtain editable copies of locked portions of the tree.

  Overrides:
    cloneNode in class ChildNode
  Tags copied from class: ChildNode

### getOwnerDocument

    public Document getOwnerDocument()

  Find the Document that this Node belongs to (the document in whose context the Node was created). The Node may or may not currently be part of that Document's actual contents.
  Overrides:
    getOwnerDocument in class NodeImpl

### hasChildNodes

    public boolean hasChildNodes()

  Test whether this node has any children. Convenience shorthand for (Node.getFirstChild()!=null)
  Overrides:
    hasChildNodes in class NodeImpl
  Tags copied from class: NodeImpl
  See Also:
    `ParentNode`

### getChildNodes

    public NodeList getChildNodes()

  Obtain a NodeList enumerating all children of this node. If there are none, an (initially) empty NodeList is returned.

  NodeLists are "live"; as children are added/removed the NodeList will immediately reflect those changes. Also, the NodeList refers to the actual nodes, so changes to those nodes made via the DOM tree will be reflected in the NodeList and vice versa.

  In this implementation, Nodes implement the NodeList interface and provide their own getChildNodes() support. Other DOMs may solve this differently.

  Overrides:
    getChildNodes in class NodeImpl

### getFirstChild

    public Node getFirstChild()

  The first child of this Node, or null if none.
  Overrides:
    getFirstChild in class NodeImpl
  Tags copied from class: NodeImpl
  See Also:
    `ParentNode`

### getLastChild

    public Node getLastChild()

  The last child of this Node, or null if none.
  Overrides:
    getLastChild in class NodeImpl
  Tags copied from class: NodeImpl
  See Also:
    `ParentNode`

### insertBefore

    public Node insertBefore(Node newChild,
                             Node refChild)
                      throws DOMException

  Move one or more node(s) to our list of children. Note that this implicitly removes them from their previous parent.
  Overrides:
    insertBefore in class NodeImpl
  Parameters:
    `newChild` - The Node to be moved to our subtree. As a convenience feature, inserting a DocumentNode will instead insert all its children.
    `refChild` - Current child which newChild should be placed immediately before. If refChild is null, the insertion occurs after all existing Nodes, like appendChild().
  Throws:
    DOMException(HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR) - if newChild is of a type that shouldn't be a child of this node, or if newChild is an ancestor of this node.
    DOMException(WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR) - if newChild has a different owner document than we do.
    DOMException(NOT_FOUND_ERR) - if refChild is not a child of this node.
    DOMException(NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR) - if this node is read-only.

### removeChild

    public Node removeChild(Node oldChild)
                     throws DOMException

  Remove a child from this Node. The removed child's subtree remains intact so it may be re-inserted elsewhere.
  Overrides:
    removeChild in class NodeImpl
  Returns:
    oldChild, in its new state (removed).
  Throws:
    DOMException(NOT_FOUND_ERR) - if oldChild is not a child of this node.
    DOMException(NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR) - if this node is read-only.

### replaceChild

    public Node replaceChild(Node newChild,
                             Node oldChild)
                      throws DOMException

  Make newChild occupy the location that oldChild used to have. Note that newChild will first be removed from its previous parent, if any. Equivalent to inserting newChild before oldChild, then removing oldChild.
  Overrides:
    replaceChild in class NodeImpl
  Throws:
    DOMException(HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR) - if newChild is of a type that shouldn't be a child of this node, or if newChild is one of our ancestors.
    DOMException(WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR) - if newChild has a different owner document than we do.
    DOMException(NOT_FOUND_ERR) - if oldChild is not a child of this node.
    DOMException(NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR) - if this node is read-only.

### getLength

    public int getLength()

  NodeList method: Count the immediate children of this node
  Overrides:
    getLength in class NodeImpl
  Returns:
    int

### item

    public Node item(int index)

  NodeList method: Return the Nth immediate child of this node, or null if the index is out of bounds.
  Overrides:
    item in class NodeImpl
  Parameters:
    `Index` - int
  Returns:
    org.w3c.dom.Node

### normalize

    public void normalize()

  Override default behavior to call normalize() on this Node's children. It is up to implementors or Node to override normalize() to take action.
  Overrides:
    normalize in class NodeImpl

### setReadOnly

    public void setReadOnly(boolean readOnly,
                            boolean deep)

  Override default behavior so that if deep is true, children are also toggled.
  Overrides:
    setReadOnly in class NodeImpl
  See Also:
    `

    Note: this will not change the state of an EntityReference or its children, which are always read-only.

    `

### synchronizeChildren

    protected void synchronizeChildren()

  Override this method in subclass to hook in efficient internal data structure.

### synchronizeChildren

    protected final void synchronizeChildren(int nodeIndex)

  Synchronizes the node's children with the internal structure. Fluffing the children at once solves a lot of work to keep the two structures in sync. The problem gets worse when editing the tree -- this makes it a lot easier. Even though this is only used in deferred classes this method is put here so that it can be shared by all deferred classes.
