Field Detail

m_context

org.w3c.dom.Node m_context
The context to resolve the prefix from, if the context is not given.

Constructor Detail

PrefixResolverDefault

public PrefixResolverDefault(org.w3c.dom.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.
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,
                                              org.w3c.dom.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
