Enum DefaultXMLFactoriesConfig.NamespacePhilosophy

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<DefaultXMLFactoriesConfig.NamespacePhilosophy>

org.xmlbeam.config.DefaultXMLFactoriesConfig.NamespacePhilosophy

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<DefaultXMLFactoriesConfig.NamespacePhilosophy>

Enclosing class:

DefaultXMLFactoriesConfig

public static enum DefaultXMLFactoriesConfig.NamespacePhilosophy
extends Enum<DefaultXMLFactoriesConfig.NamespacePhilosophy>

This configuration can use one of three different ways to configure namespace handling. Namespaces may be ignored (NIHILISTIC), handled user defined prefix mappings (AGNOSTIC) or mapped automatically to the document prefixes (HEDONISTIC).

Enum Constant Detail

NIHILISTIC

public static final DefaultXMLFactoriesConfig.NamespacePhilosophy NIHILISTIC

There is no such thing as a namespace. Only elements and attributes without a namespace will be visible to projections. Using this option prevents getting exceptions when an XPath expression tries to select a non defined namespace. (You can't get errors if you deny the existence of errors.) DocumentBuilders are created with namespace awareness set to false.

AGNOSTIC

public static final DefaultXMLFactoriesConfig.NamespacePhilosophy AGNOSTIC

Maybe there are namespaces. Maybe not. You have to decide for yourself. Neither the xml parser, nor the XPath instances bill be modified by this confiruration. Using this option will require you to subclass this configuration and specify namespace handling yourself. This way allowes you to control prefix to namespace mapping for the XPath expressions. The namespace awareness flag of created DocumentBuilders won't be touched.

HEDONISTIC

public static final DefaultXMLFactoriesConfig.NamespacePhilosophy HEDONISTIC

Fun without pain. This is the default option in this configuration. If namespaces are defined in the document, the definition will be applied to your XPath expressions. Thus you may just use existing namespaces without bothering about prefix mapping. DocumentBuilders are created with namespace awareness set to false.

Method Detail

values

public static DefaultXMLFactoriesConfig.NamespacePhilosophy[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (DefaultXMLFactoriesConfig.NamespacePhilosophy c : DefaultXMLFactoriesConfig.NamespacePhilosophy.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static DefaultXMLFactoriesConfig.NamespacePhilosophy valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
