deleteData()

Remove a range of characters from a CharacterData node's data. The offset is zero-based, so offset zero refers to the start of the data. Both offset and count are in characters, not bytes. If the sum of offset and count exceeds the data length then all characters from offset to the end of the data are deleted.

Syntax

void deleteData( 
   ub4 offset, 
   ub4 count) 
throw (DOMException);

insertData()

Insert a string into a CharacterData node's data at the specified position. The inserted data must be in the data encoding. It will not be verified, converted, or checked. The offset is specified as characters, not bytes. The offset is zero-based, so inserting at offset zero prepends the data.

Syntax

void insertData( 
   ub4 offset,
   oratext* data) 
throw (DOMException);

offset

data

replaceData()

Replaces a range of characters in a CharacterData node's data with a new string. The offset is zero-based, so offset zero refers to the start of the data.

   ub4 offset, 
   ub4 count, 
   oratext* data)
throw (DOMException);

offset

count

data

setData()

Sets data for a CharacterData node (type text, comment or CDATA), replacing the old data. The new data is not verified, converted, or checked -- it should be in the data encoding.

Syntax

void setData( 
   oratext* data) 
throw (DOMException);

data

substringData()

Returns a range of character data from a CharacterData node (type Text, Comment or CDATA). Since the data is in the data encoding, offset and count are in characters, not bytes. The beginning of the string is offset 0. If the sum of offset and count exceeds the length, then all characters to the end of the data are returned. The substring is permanently allocated in the context managed memory and should be explicitly deallocated by freeString

Syntax

createCDATASection()

Creates a CDATA section node with the given initial data (which should be in the data encoding). A CDATA section is considered verbatim and is never parsed; it will not be joined with adjacent text nodes by the normalize operation. The initial data may be NULL, if provided; it is not verified, converted, or checked. The name of a CDATA node is always "#cdata-section". The new node is an orphan with no parent. The CDATA is not copied, its pointer is just stored. The user is responsible for persistence and freeing of that data.

Syntax

Node* createCDATASection(
   oratext* data)
throw (DOMException);

data

Returns

(Node*) New CDATA node

createComment()

Creates a comment node with the given initial data (which must be in the data encoding). The data may be NULL, if provided; it is not verified, converted, or checked.

The user is responsible for persistence and freeing of that data.

Syntax

Node* createComment( 
   oratext* data)
throw (DOMException);

data

Returns

(Node*) New comment node

createDocumentFragment()

Creates an empty Document Fragment node. A document fragment is treated specially when it is inserted into a DOM tree: the children of the fragment are inserted in order instead of the fragment node itself. After insertion, the fragment node will still exist, but have no children. The name of a fragment node is always "#document-fragment".

Syntax

Node* createDocumentFragment()
throw (DOMException);

Returns

(Node*) new document fragment node

createElement()

Creates an element node with the given tag name (which should be in the data encoding). The new node is an orphan with no parent. The tagname is not copied, its pointer is just stored. The user is responsible for persistence and freeing of that data.

Note that the tag name of an element is case sensitive. This is the non-namespace aware function: the new node will have NULL namespace URI and prefix, and its local name will be the same as its tag name, even if the tag name specified is a qualified name.

Syntax

Node* createElement(
   oratext* tagname)
throw (DOMException);

tagname

Returns

(Node*) New element node

createElementNS()

Creates an element with the given namespace URI and qualified name. The new node is an orphan with no parent. The URI and qualified name are not copied, their pointers are just stored. The user is responsible for persistence and freeing of that data.

Note that element names are case sensitive, and the qualified name is required though the URI may be NULL. The qualified name will be split into prefix and local parts. The tagName will be the full qualified name.

Syntax

Node* createElementNS(
   oratext* namespaceURI,
   oratext* qualifiedName)
throw (DOMException);

namespaceURI

qualifiedName

Returns

(Node*) New element node

createEntityReference()

Creates an entity reference node; the name (which should be in the data encoding) is the name of the entity to be referenced. The named entity does not have to exist. The name is not verified, converted, or checked. The new node is an orphan with no parent. The entity reference name is not copied; its pointer is just stored. The user is responsible for persistence and freeing of that data.

Note that entity reference nodes are never generated by the parser; instead, entity references are expanded as encountered. On output, an entity reference node will turn into a "&name;" style reference.

Syntax

Node* createEntityReference(
   oratext* name)
throw (DOMException);

name

Returns

(Node*) New entity reference node

createProcessingInstruction()

Creates a processing instruction node with the given target and data (which should be in the data encoding). The data may be NULL, but the target is required and cannot be changed. The target and data are not verified, converted, or checked. The name of the node is the same as the target. The new node is an orphan with no parent. The target and data are not copied; their pointers are just stored. The user is responsible for persistence and freeing of that data.

Syntax

Node* createProcessingInstruction(
   oratext* target,
   oratext* data)
throw (DOMException);

target

data

Returns

(Node*) New PI node

createTextNode()

Creates a text node with the given initial data (which must be non-NULL and in the data encoding). The data may be NULL; if provided, it is not verified, converted, checked, or parsed (entities will not be expanded). The name of the node is always "#text". The new node is an orphan with no parent. The text data is not copied, its pointer is just stored. The user is responsible for persistence and freeing of that data.

Syntax

Node* createTextNode(
   oratext* data)
throw (DOMException);

data

Returns

(Node*) new text node

getDoctype()

Syntax

Node* getDoctype() const;

Returns

(Node*) DTD node

getDocumentElement()

Returns the root element (node) of the DOM tree. Each document has only one uppermost Element node, called the root element. If there is no root element, NULL is returned. This can happen when the document tree is being constructed.

Syntax

Node* getDocumentElement() const;

Returns

(Node*) Root element

getElementById()

Returns the element node which has the given ID. Throws NOT_FOUND_ERR if no element is found. The given ID should be in the data encoding or it might not match.

Note that attributes named "ID" are not automatically of type ID; ID attributes (which can have any name) must be declared as type ID in the DTD or XML schema associated with the document.

Syntax

Node* getElementById(
   oratext* elementId);

elementId

Returns

(Node*)Element node

getElementsByTagName()

Returns a list of all elements in the document with a given tag name, in document order (the order in which they would be encountered in a preorder traversal of the tree). The list should be freed by the user when it is no longer needed. The list is not live, it is a snapshot. That is, if a new node which matched the tag name were added to the DOM after the list was returned, the list would not automatically be updated to include the node.

The special name "*" matches all tag names; a NULL name matches nothing. Note that tag names are case sensitive, and should be in the data encoding or a mismatch might occur.

This function is not namespace aware; the full tag names are compared. If two qualified names with two different prefixes both of which map to the same URI are compared, the comparison will fail.

Syntax

NodeList< Node>* getElementsByTagName( 
   oratext* tagname) const;

tagname

Returns

(NodeList< Node>*) List of nodes

getElementsByTagNameNS()

Returns a list of all elements in the document with a given namespace URI and local name, in document order (the order in which they would be encountered in a preorder traversal of the tree). The list should be freed by the user when it is no longer needed. The list is not live, it is a snapshot. That is, if a new node which matches the URI and local name were added to the DOM after the list was returned, the list would not automatically be updated to include the node.

The URI and local name should be in the data encoding. The special name "*" matches all local names; a NULL local name matches nothing. Namespace URIs must always match, however, no wildcard is allowed. Note that comparisons are case sensitive.

Syntax

NodeList< Node>* getElementsByTagNameNS(
   oratext* namespaceURI,
   oratext* localName);

namespaceURI

localName

Returns

(NodeList< Node>*) List of nodes

getImplementation()

Returns DOMImplementation object that was used to create this document. When the DOMImplementation object is destructed, all document trees associated with it are also destructed.

Syntax

DOMImplementation< Node>* getImplementation() const;

Returns

(DOMImplementation) DOMImplementation reference object

importNode()

Imports a node from one Document to another. The new node is an orphan and has no parent. The original node is not modified in any way or removed from its document; instead, a new node is created with copies of all the original node's qualified name, prefix, namespace URI, and local name.

The deep parameter controls whether the children of the node are recursively imported. If FALSE, only the node itself is imported, and it will have no children. If TRUE, all descendents of the node will be imported as well, and an entire new subtree created. Elements will have only their specified attributes imported; non-specified (default) attributes are omitted. New default attributes (for the destination document) are then added. Document and DocumentType nodes cannot be imported.

   NodeRef< Node>& importedNode,
   boolean deep) const
throw (DOMException);

deep

Returns

(Node*) New imported node

cloneNode()

Creates and returns a duplicate of this node. The duplicate node has no parent. Cloning an Element copies all attributes and their values, including those generated by the XML processor to represent defaulted attributes, but it does not copy any text it contains unless it is a deep clone, since the text is contained in a child Text node.

Returns

(oratext *) value of node

getOwnerDocument()

Returns the document node associated with this node. It is assumed that the document node type is derived from the node type.

insertBefore()

Inserts the node newChild before the existing child node refChild in this node. refChild must be a child of this node. If newChild is a DocumentFragment, all of its children are inserted (in the same order) before refChild; the DocumentFragment node itself is not. If newChild is already in the DOM tree, it is first removed from its current position.

Syntax

   NodeRef& newChild, 
   NodeRef& refChild)
throw (DOMException);

If newChild is already in the DOM tree, it is first removed from its current position.

Syntax

Node* replaceChild( 
   NodeRef& newChild, 
   NodeRef& oldChild)
throw (DOMException);

newChild

setNodeValue()

Sets a node's value (character data) as a NULL-terminated string. Does not allow setting the value to NULL. Only Attr, CDATA, Comment, ProcessingInstruction, and Text nodes have values. Trying to set the value of another kind of node is a no-op. The new value must be in the data encoding! It is not verified, converted, or checked. The value is not copied, its pointer is just stored. The user is responsible for persistence and freeing of that data.

It throws the NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR exception, if no modifications are allowed, or UNDEFINED_ERR, with an appropriate Oracle XML error code (see xml.h), in the case of an implementation defined error.

Syntax

void setNodeValue( 
   oratext* data) 
throw (DOMException);

data

setPrefix()

It throws the NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR exception, if no modifications are allowed. Or it throws NAMESPACE_ERR if the namespaceURI of this node is NULL, or if the specified prefix is "xml" and the namespaceURI of this node is different from "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace", or if this node is an attribute and the specified prefix is "xmlns" and the namespaceURI of this node is different from "http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/". Note that the INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR exception is never thrown since it is not checked how the prefix is formed

Syntax

void setPrefix( 
   oratext* prefix) 
throw (DOMException);

prefix
