      org.cdmckay.coffeedom.ProcessingInstruction

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable

public class ProcessingInstruction
extends Content

An XML processing instruction. Methods allow the user to obtain the target of the PI as well as its data. The data can always be accessed as a String or, if the data appears akin to an attribute list, can be retrieved as name/value pairs.

Field Detail

target

protected String target

The target of the PI

rawData

protected String rawData

The data for the PI as a String

mapData

protected Map<String,String> mapData

The data for the PI in name/value pairs

Constructor Detail

ProcessingInstruction

protected ProcessingInstruction()

Default, no-args constructor for implementations to use if needed.

ProcessingInstruction

public ProcessingInstruction(String target,
                             Map<String,String> data)

This will create a new ProcessingInstruction with the specified target and data.

Parameters:

target - String target of PI.

data - Map data for PI, in name/value pairs

Throws:

IllegalTargetException - if the given target is illegal as a processing instruction name.

ProcessingInstruction

public ProcessingInstruction(String target,
                             String data)

This will create a new ProcessingInstruction with the specified target and data.

Parameters:

target - String target of PI.

data - String data for PI.

Throws:

IllegalTargetException - if the given target is illegal as a processing instruction name.

Method Detail

setTarget

public ProcessingInstruction setTarget(String newTarget)

This will set the target for the PI.

Parameters:

newTarget - String new target of PI.

Returns:

ProcessingInstruction - this PI modified.

getValue

public String getValue()

Returns the XPath 1.0 string value of this element, which is the data of this PI.

Specified by:

getValue in class Content

Returns:

the data of this PI

getTarget

public String getTarget()

This will retrieve the target of the PI.

Returns:

String - target of PI.

getData

public String getData()

This will return the raw data from all instructions.

Returns:

String - data of PI.

getPseudoAttributeNames

public List<String> getPseudoAttributeNames()

This will return a List containing the names of the "attribute" style pieces of name/value pairs in this PI's data.

Returns:

List - the List containing the "attribute" names.

setData

public ProcessingInstruction setData(String data)

This will set the raw data for the PI.

Parameters:

data - String data of PI.

Returns:

ProcessingInstruction - this PI modified.

setData

public ProcessingInstruction setData(Map<String,String> data)

This will set the name/value pairs within the passed Map as the pairs for the data of this PI. The keys should be the pair name and the values should be the pair values.

Parameters:

data - new map data to use

Returns:

ProcessingInstruction - modified PI.

getPseudoAttributeValue

public String getPseudoAttributeValue(String name)

This will return the value for a specific name/value pair on the PI. If no such pair is found for this PI, null is returned.

Parameters:

name - String name of name/value pair to lookup value for.

Returns:

String - value of name/value pair.

setPseudoAttribute

public ProcessingInstruction setPseudoAttribute(String name,
                                                String value)

This will set a pseudo attribute with the given name and value. If the PI data is not already in a pseudo-attribute format, this will replace the existing data.

Parameters:

name - String name of pair.

value - String value for pair.

Returns:

ProcessingInstruction this PI modified.

removePseudoAttribute

public boolean removePseudoAttribute(String name)

This will remove the pseudo attribute with the specified name.

Parameters:

name - name of pseudo attribute to remove

Returns:

boolean - whether the requested instruction was removed.

setParent

protected ProcessingInstruction setParent(Parent parent)

Description copied from class: Content

Sets the parent of this Content. The caller is responsible for removing any pre-existing parentage.

Overrides:

setParent in class Content

Parameters:

parent - new parent element

Returns:

the target element

clone

public ProcessingInstruction clone()

This will return a clone of this ProcessingInstruction.

Overrides:

clone in class Content

Returns:

Object - clone of this ProcessingInstruction.

detach

public ProcessingInstruction detach()

Description copied from class: Content

Detaches this child from its parent or does nothing if the child has no parent.

Overrides:

detach in class Content

Returns:

this child detached

toString

public String toString()

This returns a String representation of the ProcessingInstruction, suitable for debugging. If the XML representation of the ProcessingInstruction is desired, XMLOutputter.outputString(ProcessingInstruction) should be used.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

String - information about the ProcessingInstruction
