Method Detail

makeElementNode

ElementImpl makeElementNode(NodeInfo parent,
                            NodeName nameCode,
                            SchemaType elementType,
                            boolean isNilled,

                            PipelineConfiguration pipe,
                            Location locationId,
                            int sequenceNumber)

Create an Element node

Parameters:

parent - The parent element

nameCode - The element name

elementType - The type annotation of the element

isNilled - true if the element is to be marked as nilled

attlist - The attribute collection, excluding any namespace attributes

namespaces - in-scope namespace declarations for this element

pipe - The pipeline configuration (provides access to the error listener and the location provider)

locationId - Indicates the source document and line number containing the node

sequenceNumber - Sequence number to be assigned to represent document order.

Returns:

the element node

makeTextNode

TextImpl makeTextNode(NodeInfo parent,
                      java.lang.CharSequence content)

Make a text node

Parameters:

parent - the parent element

content - the content of the text node

Returns:

the constructed text node
