Method Detail

• matches

  boolean matches(CoreAttribute attr,
                String namespaceURI,
                String name)

  Check if the given attribute matches. The values of the namespaceURI and name parameters are those passed to CoreElement.coreGetAttribute(AttributeMatcher, String, String) or CoreElement.coreSetAttribute(AttributeMatcher, String, String, String, String), or they are determined by the return values of getNamespaceURI(CoreAttribute) and getName(CoreAttribute) if CoreElement.coreSetAttribute(AttributeMatcher, CoreAttribute, Semantics) is used. It is not required that these parameters strictly represent the namespace URI and local name of the attribute. Their exact meaning is defined by the particular AttributeMatcher implementation.

  Parameters:

  attr - the attribute to check

  namespaceURI - see above

  name - see above

  Returns:

  true if the attribute matches, false otherwise

• getNamespaceURI

  String getNamespaceURI(CoreAttribute attr)

  Get the namespaceURI parameter for an existing attribute. This method is used by CoreElement.coreSetAttribute(AttributeMatcher, CoreAttribute, Semantics) which passes its return value as parameter to matches(CoreAttribute, String, String).

  Parameters:

  attr - the attribute

  Returns:

  the namespaceURI parameter to be passed to matches(CoreAttribute, String, String)

• getName

  String getName(CoreAttribute attr)

  Get the name parameter for an existing attribute. This method is used by CoreElement.coreSetAttribute(AttributeMatcher, CoreAttribute, Semantics) which passes its return value as parameter to matches(CoreAttribute, String, String).

  Parameters:

  attr - the attribute

  Returns:

  the name parameter to be passed to matches(CoreAttribute, String, String)

• createAttribute

  CoreAttribute createAttribute(CoreElement element,
                              String namespaceURI,
                              String name,
                              String prefix,
                              String value)

  Create a new attribute node. The values of the namespaceURI, name, prefix and value parameters are those passed to CoreElement.coreSetAttribute(AttributeMatcher, String, String, String, String).

  Parameters:

  element - the instance to be used to invoke CoreNode.coreCreateNode(Class)

  namespaceURI - see above

  name - see above

  prefix - see above

  value - see above

  Returns:

• update

  void update(CoreAttribute attr,
            String prefix,
            String value)

  Update an existing attribute. The values of the prefix and value parameters are those passed to CoreElement.coreSetAttribute(AttributeMatcher, String, String, String, String).

  Parameters:

  attr - the attribute to update

  prefix - see above

  value - see above
