Class DOMNode

java.lang.Object
  org.aspectj.org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.jdom.DOMNode

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable, IDOMNode

Deprecated. The JDOM was made obsolete by the addition in 2.0 of the more powerful, fine-grained DOM/AST API found in the org.aspectj.org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom package.

public abstract class DOMNode
extends java.lang.Object
implements IDOMNode

DOMNode provides an implementation for IDOMNode.

A node represents a document fragment. When a node is created, its contents are located in a contiguous range of a shared document. A shared document is a char array, and is shared in the sense that the contents of other document fragments may also be contained in the array.

A node maintains indicies of relevant portions of its contents in the shared document. Thus the original document and indicies create a form from which to generate the contents of the document fragment. As attributes of a node are changed, the node attempts to maintain the original formatting by only replacing relevant portions of the shared document with the value of new attributes (that is, filling in the form with replacement values).

When a node is first created, it is considered unfragmented. When any attribute of the node is altered, the node is then considered fragmented from that point on. A node is also considered fragmented if any of its descendants are fragmented. When a node is unfragmented, the contents of the node can be efficiently generated from the original shared document. When a node is fragmented, the contents of the node must be created using the original document and indicies as a form, filling in replacement values as required.

Generally, a node's contents consists of complete lines in a shared document. The contents of the node are normalized on creation to include any whitespace preceding the node on the line where the node begins, and to include and trailing whitespace up to the line where the next node begins. Any trailing // comments that begin on the line where the current node ends, are considered part of that node.
