Method Details

getNamespaceForPrefix

public String getNamespaceForPrefix(String prefix)

Description copied from interface: PrefixResolver

Given a namespace, get the corrisponding prefix. This assumes that the PrefixResolver holds its own namespace context, or is a namespace context itself.

Specified by:

getNamespaceForPrefix in interface PrefixResolver

Parameters:

prefix - The prefix to look up, which may be an empty string ("") for the default Namespace.

Returns:

The associated Namespace URI, or null if the prefix is undeclared in this context.

getBaseIdentifier

public String getBaseIdentifier()

Return the base identifier.

Specified by:

getBaseIdentifier in interface PrefixResolver

Returns:

null

handlesNullPrefixes

public boolean handlesNullPrefixes()

Specified by:

handlesNullPrefixes in interface PrefixResolver

See Also:

PrefixResolver.handlesNullPrefixes()

getNamespaceForPrefix

public String getNamespaceForPrefix(String prefix, Node namespaceContext)

Given a prefix and a Context Node, get the corresponding namespace. 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.
