Method Detail

### dumpDTM

    public void dumpDTM(java.io.OutputStream os)

  Diagnostics function to dump the DTM.

### dumpNode

    public java.lang.String dumpNode(int nodeHandle)

  Diagnostics function to dump a single node. %REVIEW% KNOWN GLITCH: If you pass it a node index rather than a node handle, it works just fine... but the displayed identity number before the colon is different, which complicates comparing it with nodes printed the other way. We could always OR the DTM ID into the value, to suppress that distinction... %REVIEW% This might want to be moved up to DTMDefaultBase, or possibly DTM itself, since it's a useful diagnostic and uses only DTM's public APIs.

### setFeature

    public void setFeature(java.lang.String featureId,
                           boolean state)

  Set an implementation dependent feature.

  %REVIEW% Do we really expect to set features on DTMs?

  Specified by:
    setFeature in interface DTM
  Parameters:
    `featureId` - A feature URL.
    `state` - true if this feature should be on, false otherwise.

### hasChildNodes

    public boolean hasChildNodes(int nodeHandle)

  Given a node handle, test if it has child nodes.

  %REVIEW% This is obviously useful at the DOM layer, where it would permit testing this without having to create a proxy node. It's less useful in the DTM API, where (dtm.getFirstChild(nodeHandle)!=DTM.NULL) is just as fast and almost as self-evident. But it's a convenience, and eases porting of DOM code to DTM.

  Specified by:
    hasChildNodes in interface DTM
  Parameters:
    `nodeHandle` - int Handle of the node.
  Returns:
    int true if the given node has child nodes.

### makeNodeHandle

    public final int makeNodeHandle(int nodeIdentity)

  Given a node identity, return a node handle. If extended addressing has been used (multiple DTM IDs), we need to map the high bits of the identity into the proper DTM ID. This has been made FINAL to facilitate inlining, since we do not expect any subclass of DTMDefaultBase to ever change the algorithm. (I don't really like doing so, and would love to have an excuse not to...) %REVIEW% Is it worth trying to specialcase small documents? %REVIEW% Should this be exposed at the package/public layers?
  Parameters:
    `nodeIdentity` - Internal offset to this node's records.
  Returns:
    NodeHandle (external representation of node)

### makeNodeIdentity

    public final int makeNodeIdentity(int nodeHandle)

  Given a node handle, return a node identity. If extended addressing has been used (multiple DTM IDs), we need to map the high bits of the identity into the proper DTM ID and thence find the proper offset to add to the low bits of the identity This has been made FINAL to facilitate inlining, since we do not expect any subclass of DTMDefaultBase to ever change the algorithm. (I don't really like doing so, and would love to have an excuse not to...) %OPT% Performance is critical for this operation. %REVIEW% Should this be exposed at the package/public layers?
  Parameters:
    `nodeHandle` - (external representation of node)
  Returns:
    nodeIdentity Internal offset to this node's records.

    the document version String object.

### getDocumentAllDeclarationsProcessed

    public boolean getDocumentAllDeclarationsProcessed()

  Return an indication of whether the processor has read the complete DTD. Its value is a boolean. If it is false, then certain properties (indicated in their descriptions below) may be unknown. If it is true, those properties are never unknown.
  Specified by:
    getDocumentAllDeclarationsProcessed in interface DTM
  Returns:
    `true` if all declarations were processed; `false` otherwise.

### getDocumentTypeDeclarationSystemIdentifier

    public abstract java.lang.String getDocumentTypeDeclarationSystemIdentifier()

  A document type declaration information item has the following properties: 1. [system identifier] The system identifier of the external subset, if it exists. Otherwise this property has no value.
  Specified by:
    getDocumentTypeDeclarationSystemIdentifier in interface DTM
  Returns:
    the system identifier String object, or null if there is none.

### getDocumentTypeDeclarationPublicIdentifier

    public abstract java.lang.String getDocumentTypeDeclarationPublicIdentifier()

### getElementById

    public abstract int getElementById(java.lang.String elementId)

  Returns the `Element` whose `ID` is given by `elementId`. If no such element exists, returns `DTM.NULL`. Behavior is not defined if more than one element has this `ID`. Attributes (including those with the name "ID") are not of type ID unless so defined by DTD/Schema information available to the DTM implementation. Implementations that do not know whether attributes are of type ID or not are expected to return `DTM.NULL`.

  %REVIEW% Presumably IDs are still scoped to a single document, and this operation searches only within a single document, right? Wouldn't want collisions between DTMs in the same process.

  Specified by:
    getElementById in interface DTM
  Parameters:
    `elementId` - The unique `id` value for an element.
  Returns:
    The handle of the matching element.

### getUnparsedEntityURI

    public abstract java.lang.String getUnparsedEntityURI(java.lang.String name)

  The getUnparsedEntityURI function returns the URI of the unparsed entity with the specified name in the same document as the context node (see [3.3 Unparsed Entities]). It returns the empty string if there is no such entity.

  XML processors may choose to use the System Identifier (if one is provided) to resolve the entity, rather than the URI in the Public Identifier. The details are dependent on the processor, and we would have to support some form of plug-in resolver to handle this properly. Currently, we simply return the System Identifier if present, and hope that it a usable URI or that our caller can map it to one. TODO: Resolve Public Identifiers... or consider changing function name.

  If we find a relative URI reference, XML expects it to be resolved in terms of the base URI of the document. The DOM doesn't do that for us, and it isn't entirely clear whether that should be done here; currently that's pushed up to a higher level of our application. (Note that DOM Level 1 didn't store the document's base URI.) TODO: Consider resolving Relative URIs.

  (The DOM's statement that "An XML processor may choose to completely expand entities before the structure model is passed to the DOM" refers only to parsed entities, not unparsed, and hence doesn't affect this function.)

  Specified by:
    getUnparsedEntityURI in interface DTM
  Parameters:
    `name` - A string containing the Entity Name of the unparsed entity.
  Returns:
    String containing the URI of the Unparsed Entity, or an empty string if no such entity exists.

### supportsPreStripping

    public boolean supportsPreStripping()

  Return true if the xsl:strip-space or xsl:preserve-space was processed during construction of the DTM document.
  Specified by:
    supportsPreStripping in interface DTM
  Returns:
    true if this DTM supports prestripping.

### isNodeAfter

    public boolean isNodeAfter(int nodeHandle1,
                               int nodeHandle2)

  Figure out whether nodeHandle2 should be considered as being later in the document than nodeHandle1, in Document Order as defined by the XPath model. This may not agree with the ordering defined by other XML applications.

  There are some cases where ordering isn't defined, and neither are the results of this function -- though we'll generally return false.

  Specified by:
    isNodeAfter in interface DTM
  Parameters:
    `nodeHandle1` - Node handle to perform position comparison on.
    `nodeHandle2` - Second Node handle to perform position comparison on .
  Returns:
    true if node1 comes before node2, otherwise return false. You can think of this as `(node1.documentOrderPosition <= node2.documentOrderPosition)`.

### isCharacterElementContentWhitespace

    public boolean isCharacterElementContentWhitespace(int nodeHandle)

  2. [element content whitespace] A boolean indicating whether the character is white space appearing within element content (see [XML], 2.10 "White Space Handling"). Note that validating XML processors are required by XML 1.0 to provide this information. If there is no declaration for the containing element, this property has no value for white space characters. If no declaration has been read, but the [all declarations processed] property of the document information item is false (so there may be an unread declaration), then the value of this property is unknown for white space characters. It is always false for characters that are not white space.
  Specified by:
    isCharacterElementContentWhitespace in interface DTM
  Parameters:
    `nodeHandle` - the node ID.
  Returns:
    `true` if the character data is whitespace; `false` otherwise.

### isDocumentAllDeclarationsProcessed

    public boolean isDocumentAllDeclarationsProcessed(int documentHandle)

  10. [all declarations processed] This property is not strictly speaking part of the infoset of the document. Rather it is an indication of whether the processor has read the complete DTD. Its value is a boolean. If it is false, then certain properties (indicated in their descriptions below) may be unknown. If it is true, those properties are never unknown.
  Specified by:
    isDocumentAllDeclarationsProcessed in interface DTM
  Parameters:
    `documentHandle` - A node handle that must identify a document.
  Returns:
    `true` if all declarations were processed; `false` otherwise.

### isAttributeSpecified

    public abstract boolean isAttributeSpecified(int attributeHandle)

  5. [specified] A flag indicating whether this attribute was actually specified in the start-tag of its element, or was defaulted from the DTD.
  Specified by:
    isAttributeSpecified in interface DTM
  Parameters:
    `attributeHandle` - The attribute handle in question.
  Returns:
    `true` if the attribute was specified; `false` if it was defaulted.

### dispatchCharactersEvents
