Interface AttributeContainer


  • public interface AttributeContainer
    Interface that is used to allow validators to do attribute defaulting. That is, to allow specific post-processing for elements, such that after all attribute values that an xml element has have been processed, it is possible to add new attribute/value pairs in cases where attribute only has a default value in DTD or W3C Schema.
    • Method Detail

      • getAttributeCount

        int getAttributeCount()
        Returns:
        Number of atributes container contains currently. Can be used to determine the index number for the next attribute to be added.
      • addDefaultAttribute

        int addDefaultAttribute​(String localName,
                                String uri,
                                String prefix,
                                String value)
        Method that can be used to add a new attribute value for an attribute that was not yet contained by the container, as part of using attribute default value mechanism.

        Note: caller has to ensure that the addition would not introduce a duplicate; attribute container implementation is not required to do any validation on attribute name (local name, prefix, uri) or value.

        Returns:
        Index of the newly added attribute.
