CreateOMElementVariant

public CreateOMElementVariant(String name,
                              boolean supportsDefaultNamespace,
                              boolean supportsContainer)

Method Detail

getName

public final String getName()

isSupportsDefaultNamespace

public final boolean isSupportsDefaultNamespace()

Determines whether this strategy can be used to create an OMElement in the default namespace, i.e. with an empty prefix.

Returns:

true if the strategy supports default namespaces, false otherwise

isSupportsContainer

public final boolean isSupportsContainer()

Determines whether this strategy can be used to create an OMElement as a child of another container.

Returns:

true if a OMContainer object can be passed to createOMElement(OMFactory, OMContainer, String, String, String)

createOMElement

public abstract OMElement createOMElement(OMFactory factory,
                                          OMContainer parent,
                                          String localName,
                                          String namespaceURI,
                                          String prefix)

Create an OMElement.

Parameters:

factory - the factory used to create the element

parent - the parent of the element to be created or null to create an orphaned element; this parameter can only be used if isSupportsContainer() returns true

localName - the local name of the element

namespaceURI - the namespace URI of the element

prefix - the prefix of the element, the empty string if the element is to be created in the default namespace (only supported if isSupportsDefaultNamespace() returns true), or null if a prefix should be generated or chosen based on the namespace context of the parent

Returns:

the created element
