Constructor Detail

Body

protected Body(WingContext context)
        throws WingException

Generate a new Body framework element. This method will NOT open or close a body element instead it expects that those events are being handled by the caller. It is important to note that other divisions (div elements) may precede or follow the divisions created through this object.

Parameters:

context - (Required) The context this element is contained in.

Throws:

WingException

Method Detail

addDivision

public Division addDivision(String name,
                            String rend)
                     throws WingException

Append a new division (div element) to the document's body. The division created is not interactive meaning that it may not contain any form elements, to create an interactive division use addInteractiveDivision().

Parameters:

name - (Required) a local identifier used to differentiate the element from its siblings.

rend - (May be null) a rendering hint used to override the default display of the element.

Returns:

a new division.

Throws:

WingException

addDivision

public Division addDivision(String name)
                     throws WingException

Append a new division (div element) to the document's body. This is a short cut method for divisions without special rendering instructions. The division created is not interactive meaning that it may not contain any form elements, to create an interactive division use addInteractiveDivision().

Parameters:

name - a local identifier used to differentiate the element from its siblings

Returns:

A new division.

Throws:

WingException

addInteractiveDivision

public Division addInteractiveDivision(String name,
                                       String action,
                                       String method,
                                       String rend)
                                throws WingException

Append a new interactive division (div element) to the document's body. An interactive division is able to contain form elements as. The extra parameters required such as action and method dictate where and how the form data should be processed.

Parameters:

name - (Required) a local identifier used to differentiate the element from its siblings.

action - (Required) determines where the form information should be sent for processing.

method - (Required) determines the method used to pass gathered field values to the handler specified by the action attribute. The multipart method should be used if there are any file fields used within the division.

rend - (May be null) a rendering hint used to override the default display of the element.

Returns:

A new division.

Throws:

WingException

mergeEqual

public boolean mergeEqual(String namespace,
                          String localName,

                   throws SAXException,
                          WingException

SAXException

WingException
