Method Detail

setParent

public void setParent(StackableComponentI parent)

Sets the parent component for this component

Parameters:

parent - the component you want to serve as the parent

getParent

public StackableComponentI getParent()

Returns the parent of this component

Returns:

the parent component of this component

addChild

public void addChild(StackableComponentI child)

Adds a child component to this component. Not sure if I'll coerce attributes into being atts.

Parameters:

child - the component to add as a child

addAtt

public void addAtt(StackableComponentI att)

Adds an attribute to this component. The type of the component will be coerced to attribute.

Parameters:

att - the attribute

getNumChildren

public int getNumChildren()

Returns the number of children (not attributes) contained by this component.

Returns:

the number of non-attribute children.

getNumAtts

public int getNumAtts()

Returns the number of attributes contained by this component.

Returns:

the number of attributes

getChild

public StackableComponentI getChild(int which)

Returns the child - identified by number - of the current element.

Parameters:

which - the position of the component in question

Returns:

the child component or null if which is out of range.

getAtt

public StackableComponentI getAtt(java.lang.String NSUri,
                                  java.lang.String localName)

Returns an attribute, identified by namespace URI and localName

Parameters:

NSUri - the namespace URI of the attribute

localName - the local name of the attribute

Returns:

the attribute matching the URI and local name

getAtt

public StackableComponentI getAtt(NamingI name)

Returns an attribute, identified by anything conforming to NamingI

Parameters:

name - A NamingI with the same namespace URI and local name as the attribute desired.

Returns:

the attribute matching the NamingI

getAttsAsList

public java.util.ArrayList getAttsAsList()

Will permit easy sequential access to attribute values.

Returns:

an ArrayList containing the atts as StackableComponentI
