  com.topologi.diffx.event.impl.OpenElementEventImpl

All Implemented Interfaces:

DiffXEvent, OpenElementEvent, XMLFormattable, XMLWritable

public final class OpenElementEventImpl
extends Object
implements OpenElementEvent

A basic implementation of the close element event.

It corresponds to the startElement SAX event.

This implementation is not namespace aware.

Constructor Detail

OpenElementEventImpl

public OpenElementEventImpl(String name)
                     throws NullPointerException

Creates a new open element event.

Parameters:

name - The local name of the element

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the name is null.

Method Detail

getName

public String getName()

Description copied from interface: OpenElementEvent

Returns the local name of the element.

Specified by:

getName in interface OpenElementEvent

Returns:

Returns the name.

getURI

public String getURI()

Description copied from interface: OpenElementEvent

Returns the namespace URI the element belongs to.

Specified by:

getURI in interface OpenElementEvent

Returns:

Returns the Namespace URI.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

equals

public boolean equals(DiffXEvent e)

Returns true if the event is an open element event.

Specified by:

equals in interface DiffXEvent

Parameters:

e - The event to compare with this event.

Returns:

true if this event is equal to the specified event; false otherwise.

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

toXML

public void toXML(XMLWriter xml)
           throws IOException

Description copied from interface: XMLWritable

Writes the XML representation of the implementing instance using the specified XMLWriter.

Specified by:

toXML in interface XMLWritable

Parameters:

xml - The XMLWriter to use.

Throws:

IOException - IF an I/O exception occurs whilst writing.

toXML

public StringBuffer toXML(StringBuffer xml)

Converts this event to an XML open tag.

Note that this method does not allow attributes to be put after this element. Appends the XML representation of the object of the implementing class.

Implementations must ensure that the returned string buffer is the same object as the specified string buffer.

Specified by:

toXML in interface XMLFormattable

Parameters:

xml - The string buffer to which the XML representation is appended to.

Returns:

The modified string buffer.

equals

public final boolean equals(Object o)

Invokes the DiffXEvent.equals(DiffXEvent) method if the specified object if not null and is an instance of DiffXEvent.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

o - The object to compare.

Returns:

true if the specified object is equal; false otherwise.

toXML

public String toXML()

Description copied from interface: XMLFormattable

Returns a xml representation of the object of the implementing class.

Most implementation should use the following code to ensure consistent data with the other toXML method:

return this.toXML(new StringBuffer()).toString();

Specified by:

toXML in interface XMLFormattable

Returns:

a XML representation of the object of the implementing class.

getWeight

public int getWeight()

Description copied from interface: DiffXEvent

Returns the weight of this event.

The default weight should be 1.

Specified by:

getWeight in interface DiffXEvent

Returns:

The weight of this event.

setWeight

public void setWeight(int weight)

Description copied from interface: DiffXEvent

Sets the weight of this event.

This method is intended for use by algorithms, optimisers and loaders in order to adjust the importance of an event.

Specified by:

setWeight in interface DiffXEvent

Parameters:

weight - The weight of this event.
