Class xm.xm_AttToChildConverter

- public class xm_AttToChildConverter
- extends xm_NodeFormatter
To create a child node for each of an xg_Node's attributes (and for
those of all its descendants). The motivation for this is to make it easier
to apply an XSL stylesheet to an XML document: it enables attribute values
to be included in the results without resorting to the use of a scripting
language. (This class has, however, been included in the xg package since
it is not XSL-specific per se, and could conceivably be of use for other
purposes.)
It applies the following rules:
Apply these rules to each child element (ie. any node which is not an
xg_Element is left unchanged), which will apply them to its children
in turn. (Note that this is done before turning our attention to the
node's attributes, to save us the trouble of applying these rules to
the new child nodes which will result.)
For each of the node's attributes, create a new child element whose
type is the name of the attribute, and whose content is the value of
the attribute. The new children are placed at the beginning of the
element's content. The preceding whitespace of each of these new children
is set to be the same as that of its parent.
Note that while this class implements the xg_NodeFormatter interface
(because it is a convenient interface), this is not strictly just a
formatter, because it makes significant changes to the structure of the
node (typically a document) on which it is invoked.
-
xm_AttToChildConverter()
-
-
format(xg_Node, int)
- Convert the given node, and its children.
-
getPrependParentNameFlag()
- Get the value of the flag which determines whether elements generated
from attributes have their parent's type prepended.
-
setPrependParentNameFlag(boolean)
- Set the value of the flag which determines whether elements generated
from attributes have their parent's type prepended.
xm_AttToChildConverter
public xm_AttToChildConverter()
format
public void format(xg_Node InputNode,
int InputOpeningDepth)
- Convert the given node, and its children.
- Parameters:
- InputNode - The node to convert
- InputOpeningDepth - The depth of the node in the hierarchy. This
is ignored, and is present purely for
compatibility with xg_NodeFormatter.
- Overrides:
- format in class xm_NodeFormatter
setPrependParentNameFlag
public void setPrependParentNameFlag(boolean InputPrependParentNameFlag)
- Set the value of the flag which determines whether elements generated
from attributes have their parent's type prepended.
- Parameters:
- PrependParentNameFlag - true if the parent's type is to be prepended;
false if not
getPrependParentNameFlag
public boolean getPrependParentNameFlag()
- Get the value of the flag which determines whether elements generated
from attributes have their parent's type prepended.
- Returns:
- true if the parent's type is prepended; false if not
