java.lang.Object | +----org.jdom.Attribute
Attribute defines behavior for an XML
attribute, modeled in Java. Methods allow the user
to obtain the value of the attribute as well as
namespace information.

protected Attribute()
Default, no-args constructor for implementations to use if needed.
public Attribute(String name,
String value,
Namespace namespace)
This will create a new Attribute with the
specified (local) name and value, and in the provided
{@link Namespace}.
String name of Attribute.
String value for new attribute.
public Attribute(String name,
String value)
This will create a new Attribute with the
specified (local) name and value, and does not place
the attribute in a {@link Namespace}.
Note: This actually explicitly puts the
Attribute in the "empty" Namespace
({@link Namespace#NO_NAMESPACE}).
String name of Attribute.
String value for new attribute.
public Attribute(String name,
String prefix,
String uri,
String value)
This will create a new Attribute with the
specified (local) name and value, and place it in
the specified namespace (with prefix).
String name of Attribute.
String prefix for Attribute.
String URI for namespace this
Attribute is in.
String value for new attribute.
public Element getParent()
This will return the parent of this Attribute.
If there is no parent, then this returns null.
Attribute
public Document getDocument()
This retrieves the owning {@link Document} for
this Attribute, or null if not a currently a member of a
{@link Document}.
Document owning this Attribute, or null.
protected Attribute setParent(Element parent)
This will set the parent of this Comment.
Element to be new parent.
Comment modified.
public Attribute detach()
This detaches the Attribute from its parent, or does
nothing if the Attribute has no parent.
Attribute - this Attribute modified.
public String getName()
This will retrieve the local name of the
Attribute. For any XML attribute
which appears as
[namespacePrefix]:[attributeName],
the local name of the attribute would be
[attributeName]. When the attribute
has no namespace, the local name is simply the attribute
name.
To obtain the namespace prefix for this
attribute, the
{@link #getNamespacePrefix()}
method should be used.
String - name of this attribute,
without any namespace prefix.
public Attribute setName(String name)
This sets the local name of the Attribute.
Attribute - the attribute modified.
public String getQualifiedName()
This will retrieve the qualified name of the Attribute.
For any XML attribute whose name is
[namespacePrefix]:[elementName],
the qualified name of the attribute would be
everything (both namespace prefix and
element name). When the attribute has no
namespace, the qualified name is simply the attribute's
local name.
To obtain the local name of the attribute, the
{@link #getName()} method should be used.
To obtain the namespace prefix for this attribute,
the {@link #getNamespacePrefix()}
method should be used.
String - full name for this element.
public String getNamespacePrefix()
This will retrieve the namespace prefix of the
Attribute. For any XML attribute
which appears as
[namespacePrefix]:[attributeName],
the namespace prefix of the attribute would be
[namespacePrefix]. When the attribute
has no namespace, an empty String is returned.
String - namespace prefix of this
attribute.
public String getNamespaceURI()
This returns the URI mapped to this Attribute's
prefix. If no
mapping is found, an empty String is returned.
String - namespace URI for this Attribute.
public Namespace getNamespace()
This will return this Attribute's
{@link Namespace}.
Namespace - Namespace object for this Attribute
public Attribute setNamespace(Namespace namespace)
This sets this Attribute's {@link Namespace}.
If the provided namespace is null, the attribute will have no namespace.
The namespace must have a prefix.
Element - the element modified.
public String getValue()
This will return the actual textual value of this
Attribute. This will include all text
within the quotation marks.
String - value for this attribute.
public Attribute setValue(String value)
This will set the value of the Attribute.
String value for the attribute.
Attribute - this Attribute modified.
public String toString()
This returns a String representation of the
Attribute, suitable for debugging.
String - information about the
Attribute
public final boolean equals(Object ob)
This tests for equality of this Attribute to the supplied
Object.
Object to compare to.
boolean - whether the Attribute is
equal to the supplied Object.
public final int hashCode()
This returns the hash code for this Attribute.
int - hash code.
public Object clone()
This will return a clone of this Attribute.
Object - clone of this Attribute.
public int getIntValue() throws DataConversionException
This gets the value of the attribute, in
int form, and if no conversion
can occur, throws a
{@link DataConversionException}
int value of attribute.
public long getLongValue() throws DataConversionException
This gets the value of the attribute, in
long form, and if no conversion
can occur, throws a
{@link DataConversionException}
long value of attribute.
public float getFloatValue() throws DataConversionException
This gets the value of the attribute, in
float form, and if no conversion
can occur, throws a
{@link DataConversionException}
float value of attribute.
public double getDoubleValue() throws DataConversionException
This gets the value of the attribute, in
double form, and if no conversion
can occur, throws a
{@link DataConversionException}
double value of attribute.
public boolean getBooleanValue() throws DataConversionException
This gets the value of the attribute, in
boolean form, and if no conversion
can occur, throws a
{@link DataConversionException}
boolean value of attribute.
public final String getSerializedForm()
This will return the Attribute in XML format,
usable in an XML document.
String - the serialized form of the
Attribute.
