Class AbstractGroup

java.lang.Object

      org.zkoss.idom.impl.AbstractGroup

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable, Node, Group, Item

Direct Known Subclasses:

Document, Element, EntityReference

public abstract class AbstractGroup
extends AbstractItem
implements Group

A semi-implemented item for group. A group is a item that has child items.

The default implementation of newChildren is for the sematic of Element. A deriving class has to re-implement it, if it is not applicable. Example, Document.

Constructor.

Method Detail

newChildren

protected List<Item> newChildren()

Creates a list to hold child vertices. Note: the list must be able to protect itself from adding unexpected child -- read-only, wrong type, undetached...

The default implementation obeys the sematic of Element, i.e., it doen't allow any child that cannot be a child of Element.

For performance issue, we introduced a map to improve the search speed for Element node associated with a tag name.

getChildren

public final List<Item> getChildren()

Description copied from interface: Group

Gets all children.

The returned list is "live". Any modification to it affects the node. On the other hand, Group.getElements(String) returns a copy.

Unlike JDOM, it won't coalesce adjacent children automatically since it might violate the caller's expection about List. Rather, we provide coalesce to let caller do the merging explicity. Note: when building a iDOM tree from a source (SAXBuilder.build), coalesce() will be inovked automatically.

Note: not all items supports children. If this item doesn't, it returns an empty list. And, if any invocation tries to add vertices to the returned list will cause UnsupportOperationException.

Specified by:

getChildren in interface Group

detachChildren

public final List<Item> detachChildren()

Description copied from interface: Group

Detaches all children and returns them in a list.

Note: you cannot add children to anther Group by doing group.addAll(e.getChildren()), because you have to detach them first. Then, you could use this method:
group.addAll(e.detachChildren());

Specified by:

detachChildren in interface Group

anyElement

public final boolean anyElement()

getElementNames

public final Set<String> getElementNames()

Description copied from interface: Group

Returns a readonly set of names of element children. Then, you could use Group.getElements(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, int) to get elements.

The returned list is a 'live-facade' of the real ones, so the performance is good, and any modification to Group.getChildren() will affect it.

Specified by:

getElementNames in interface Group

See Also:

Group.getElements()

getElements

public final List<Element> getElements()

Description copied from interface: Group

Returns a cloned copy of all element childrens

Unlike Group.getChildren() and Group.getElementNames(), the returned list is NOT a 'live-facade' of the real ones.

Specified by:

getElements in interface Group

See Also:

Group.getElementNames()

getElementIndex

public final int getElementIndex(int indexFrom,
                                 String namespace,
                                 String name,
                                 int mode)

Description copied from interface: Group

Gets the index of the Element-type first child that match the specified criteria.

Note: only Element-type children are returned, since others have no name.

Specified by:

getElementIndex in interface Group

Parameters:

indexFrom - the index to start searching from; 0 for beginning

namespace - the namspace URI if FIND_BY_PREFIX is not specified; the namespace prefix if FIND_BY_PREFIX specified; null to ingore

name - the local name if FIND_BY_TAGNAME is not sepcified; the tag name if FIND_BY_TAGNAME specified; null to ignore

mode - the serach mode; zero or any combination of Item.FIND_xxx, except FIND_RECURSIVE

Returns:

the index if found; -1 if not found

getElementIndex

public final int getElementIndex(int indexFrom,
                                 String tname)

Description copied from interface: Group

Gets the index of the first Element-type child with the specified name.

Note: only Element-type children are returned, since others have no name.

getChildren().add(getElementIndex(0, "pre:name"),
    new Element("pre:another"));

Specified by:

getElementIndex in interface Group

Parameters:

indexFrom - the index to start searching from; 0 for beginning

tname - the tag name (i.e., Namespaceable.getName)

Returns:

the index if found; -1 if not found

getElement

public final Element getElement(String namespace,
                                String name,
                                int mode)

Description copied from interface: Group

Gets the first Element-type child that matches the giving criteria.

Note: only Element-type children are returned. Depending on the mode, the searching is usually linear -- take O(n) to complete.

Specified by:

getElement in interface Group

Parameters:

namespace - the namspace URI if FIND_BY_PREFIX is not specified; the namespace prefix if FIND_BY_PREFIX specified; null to ingore

name - the local name if FIND_BY_TAGNAME is not sepcified; the tag name if FIND_BY_TAGNAME specified; null to ignore

mode - the search mode; zero or any combination of FIND_xxx.

Returns:

the found element; null if not found or not supported

getElement

public final Element getElement(String tname)

Description copied from interface: Group

Gets the first Element-type child with the tag name. It is the same as childOf(nsURI, lname, null, 0).

Note: only Element-type children are returned. Also, we did some optimization for this method so its access time is nearly constant.

Specified by:

getElement in interface Group

Parameters:

tname - the tag name (i.e., Namespaceable.getName)

Returns:

the found element; null if not found or not supported

getElements

public final List<Element> getElements(String namespace,
                                       String name,
                                       int mode)

Description copied from interface: Group

Gets a readonly list of Element-type children that match the giving criteria.

Unlike Element.getElementsByTagName(java.lang.String), this method only returns child elements, excluding grand children and other descedants.

The returned list is a 'live-facade' of the real ones, so the performance is good, and any modification to Group.getChildren() will affect it.

Note: only Element-type children are returned. Depending on the mode, the searching is usually linear -- take O(n) to complete.

Specified by:

getElements in interface Group

Parameters:

namespace - the namspace URI if FIND_BY_PREFIX is not specified; the namespace prefix if FIND_BY_PREFIX specified; null to ingore

name - the local name if FIND_BY_TAGNAME is not sepcified; the tag name if FIND_BY_TAGNAME specified; null to ignore

mode - the search mode; zero or any combination of FIND_xxx.

Returns:

a read-only list containing all matched children; an empty list if not found or not supported

getElements

public final List<Element> getElements(String tname)

Description copied from interface: Group

Gets a readonly list of children with the tag name.

Unlike Element.getElementsByTagName(java.lang.String), this method only returns child elements, excluding grand children and other descedants.

The returned list is a 'live-facade' of the real ones, so the performance is good, and any modification to Group.getChildren() will affect it.

Note: only Element-type children are returned. Also, we did some optimization for this method so its access time is nearly constant.

                                    boolean trim)

Description copied from interface: Group

Gets the value of the first Element-type child that matches the giving criteria, with a trimming option.
