public abstract class NodeImpl

Field Detail

### emptyArray

    protected static NodeInfo[] emptyArray

### parent

    protected com.icl.saxon.tree.ParentNodeImpl parent

### index

    protected int index

Constructor Detail

### NodeImpl

    public NodeImpl()

Method Detail

### setSystemId

    public void setSystemId(java.lang.String uri)

  Set the system ID of this node. This method is provided so that a NodeInfo implements the javax.xml.transform.Source interface, allowing a node to be used directly as the Source of a transformation

  Parameters:
    `uri` - The system identifier as a URL string.

### isSameNodeInfo

    public boolean isSameNodeInfo(NodeInfo other)

  Determine whether this is the same node as another node

  Specified by:
    `isSameNodeInfo` in interface `NodeInfo`
  Specified by:
    `isSameNodeInfo` in class `AbstractNode`
  Returns:
    true if this Node object and the supplied Node object represent the same node in the tree.

### getNameCode

    public int getNameCode()

  Get the nameCode of the node. This is used to locate the name in the NamePool

  Specified by:
    `getNameCode` in interface `NodeInfo`
  Specified by:
    `getNameCode` in class `AbstractNode`

### getFingerprint

    public int getFingerprint()

  Get the fingerprint of the node. This is used to compare whether two nodes have equivalent names. Return -1 for a node with no name.

  Specified by:
    `getFingerprint` in interface `NodeInfo`
  Specified by:
    `getFingerprint` in class `AbstractNode`

### generateId

    public java.lang.String generateId()

  Get a character string that uniquely identifies this node within this document (The calling code will prepend a document identifier)

  Specified by:
    `generateId` in interface `NodeInfo`
  Specified by:
    `generateId` in class `AbstractNode`
  Returns:
    a string.

### getOriginatingNode

    public org.w3c.dom.Node getOriginatingNode()

  Get the node corresponding to this javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMLocator

  Specified by:
    `getOriginatingNode` in interface `DOMLocator`
  Overrides:
    `getOriginatingNode` in class `AbstractNode`

### getSystemId

    public java.lang.String getSystemId()

  Get the system ID for the node. Default implementation for child nodes.

    `getSystemId` in interface `NodeInfo`
  Specified by:
    `getSystemId` in class `AbstractNode`

    `getBaseURI` in interface `NodeInfo`
  Specified by:
    `getBaseURI` in class `AbstractNode`

### getSequenceNumber

    protected long getSequenceNumber()

  Get the node sequence number (in document order). Sequence numbers are monotonic but not consecutive. In the current implementation, parent nodes (elements and roots) have a zero least-significant word, while namespaces, attributes, text nodes, comments, and PIs have the top word the same as their owner and the bottom half reflecting their relative position. This is the default implementation for child nodes.

### compareOrder

  Specified by:
    `compareOrder` in class `AbstractNode`
  Parameters:
    `other` - The other node, whose position is to be compared with this node
  Returns:
    -1 if this node precedes the other node, +1 if it follows the other node, or 0 if they are the same node. (In this case, isSameNode() will always return true, and the two nodes will produce the same result for generateId())

### getNamePool

    public NamePool getNamePool()

  Get the NamePool
