Method Detail

getSource

public NodeSource getSource()

getSource returns a source for this Node.

Returns:

The Document source

setSource

public void setSource(NodeSource source)
               throws org.w3c.dom.DOMException

setSource sets a source for this Node.

Parameters:

source - The Document source

Throws:

org.w3c.dom.DOMException - if an exception occurs

expandSource

public void expandSource()

expandSource expands the source into the Node as a namespace and a set of attributes. This method will only work on a Document or an Element, and should silently fail on all other Node types.
