CDATA represents character-based content within an
XML document represented by JDOM. It is intended to provide a modular,
printable method of representing CDATA. Additionally,
CDATA makes no guarantees about the underlying textual
representation of character data, but does expose that data as a Java
String.
CDATA node's parent.
This is the protected, no-args constructor standard in all JDOM classes.
This constructor creates a new CDATA node, with the
supplied string value as it's character content.
This will append the content of another CDATA node
to this node.
This will append character content to whatever content already
exists within this CDATA node.
This will return a clone of this CDATA node, with the
same character content, but no parent.
Detaches the CDATA from its parent, or does nothing
if the CDATA has no parent.
This tests for equality of this CDATA to the supplied
Object, explicitly using the == operator.

protected String value
protected Object parent
CDATA node's parent.
protected CDATA()
This is the protected, no-args constructor standard in all JDOM classes. It allows subclassers to get a raw instance with no initialization.
public CDATA(String str)
This constructor creates a new CDATA node, with the
supplied string value as it's character content.
public String getText()
This returns the value of this CDATA node as a Java
String.
String - character content of this node.
public String getTextTrim()
This returns the textual content with all surrounding whitespace removed. If only whitespace exists, the empty string is returned.
public String getTextNormalize()
This returns the textual content with all surrounding whitespace removed and internal whitespace normalized to a single space. If only whitespace exists, the empty string is returned.
public CDATA setText(String str)
This will set the value of this CDATA node.
public void append(String str)
This will append character content to whatever content already
exists within this CDATA node.
public void append(CDATA cdata)
This will append the content of another CDATA node
to this node.
public Element getParent()
This will return the parent of this CDATA node, which
is always a JDOM {@link Element}.
Element - this node's parent.
public Document getDocument()
This retrieves the owning {@link Document} for
this CDATA, or null if not a currently a member
of a {@link Document}.
Document owning this CDATA, or null.
protected CDATA setParent(Element parent)
This will set the parent of the CDATA node to the
supplied {@link Element}. This method is intentionally
left as protected so that only JDOM internals use it.
If you need an instance of this CDATA node with a new
parent, you should get a copy of this node with
{@link #clone} and set it on the desired (new) parent
Element.
public CDATA detach()
Detaches the CDATA from its parent, or does nothing
if the CDATA has no parent.
CDATA - this CDATA modified.
public String toString()
This returns a String representation of the
CDATA node, suitable for debugging. If the XML
representation of the CDATA node is desired,
either {@link #getText} or
{@link org.jdom.output.XMLOutputter#output(CDATA, Writer)}
should be used.
String - information about this node.
public final int hashCode()
This will generate a hash code for this node.
int - hash code for this node.
public Object clone()
This will return a clone of this CDATA node, with the
same character content, but no parent.
CDATA - cloned node.
public final boolean equals(Object ob)
This tests for equality of this CDATA to the supplied
Object, explicitly using the == operator.
Object to compare to
CDATA nodes are equal
