Constant Field Values

foObjs

protected java.util.HashMap foObjs

The HashMap table of formatting objects defined by the ElementMapping

namespaceURI

protected java.lang.String namespaceURI

The namespace for the ElementMapping

Constructor Detail

ElementMapping

public ElementMapping()

Method Detail

getTable

public java.util.HashMap getTable()

Returns a HashMap of maker objects for this element mapping

Returns:

Table of Maker objects for this ElementMapping

getNamespaceURI

public java.lang.String getNamespaceURI()

Returns the namespace URI for this element mapping

Returns:

Namespace URI for this element mapping

getDOMImplementation

public org.w3c.dom.DOMImplementation getDOMImplementation()

Returns the DOMImplementation used by this ElementMapping. The value returned may be null for cases where no DOM is used to represent the element tree (XSL-FO, for example). This method is used by the intermediate format to instantiate the right kind of DOM document for foreign objects. For example, SVG handled through Apache Batik has to use a special DOMImplementation.

Returns:

the DOMImplementation used by this ElementMapping, may be null

getDefaultDOMImplementation

public static org.w3c.dom.DOMImplementation getDefaultDOMImplementation()

Returns:

the default DOMImplementation when no specialized DOM is necessary.

getStandardPrefix

public java.lang.String getStandardPrefix()

Returns:

the standard namespace prefix for this namespace or null if it is not known.

isAttributeProperty

public boolean isAttributeProperty(QName attributeName)

Indicates whether a particular attribute of the namespace is a property, i.e. the attribute value should be converted to a property value.

Parameters:

attributeName - the attribute name

Returns:

true if the attribute should be converted to a property

initialize

protected abstract void initialize()

Initializes the set of maker objects associated with this ElementMapping
