Class XMLAttrList

    java.lang.Object
      |
      +--weblogic.apache.xerces.framework.XMLAttrList

public final class XMLAttrList
extends java.lang.Object
implements org.xml.sax.AttributeList

An instance of this class is used to represent the set of attributes for an element that are either directly specified or provided through a default value in the grammar for the document. XMLAttrList carries the attributes associated with an element from the scanner up to the application level (via the SAX AtributeList). Because all the attributes are bundled up together before being presented to the application, we don't have a way to build up an attribute value from pieces, most notably entity references.

There is typically one instance of this class for each instance of a parser. The parser may either use this object to hold the attributes of a single element, calling releaseAttrList() before each new element, or it may use this object to hold the attributes of all of the elements in the document.

To start saving a new set of attributes, the startAttrList() method is called, returning a handle for the attribute list. All addAttr() calls will be added to the set until a call is made to endAttrList(). A handle of -1 is used to indicate that there are no attributes in the set.

When an attribute is added to the set, the type of the attribute and an indicator of whether it was specified explicitly or through a default is provided.

The attributes in the set may be accessed either through the getFirstAttr() and getNextAttr() iteration interface, or the getAttributeList() method may be used to access the attribute list through the SAX `AttributeList` interface.

This class is based on an implementation from the Apache XML Project. In future releases the XML parser, XSLT processor, and associated classes will likely be updated to be based on a later version of the Apache implementations. Since Apache does not guarantee backwards compatibility between versions of their software, we cannot guarantee backwards compatibility of any of the classes contained in the weblogic.apache package or sub-packages.

### getLength

    public int getLength()

  Return the number of attributes in this list.

  The SAX parser may provide attributes in any arbitrary order, regardless of the order in which they were declared or specified. The number of attributes may be zero.

  Specified by:
    getLength in interface org.xml.sax.AttributeList

  Returns:
    The number of attributes in the list.

### getPrefix

    public java.lang.String getPrefix(int i)

  Return the prefix of an attribute in this list (by position).

### getLocalpart

    public java.lang.String getLocalpart(int i)

  Return the local part of an attribute in this list (by position).

### getName

    public java.lang.String getName(int i)

  Return the name of an attribute in this list (by position).

  The names must be unique: the SAX parser shall not include the same attribute twice. Attributes without values (those declared #IMPLIED without a value specified in the start tag) will be omitted from the list.

  If the attribute name has a namespace prefix, the prefix will still be attached.

  Specified by:
    getName in interface org.xml.sax.AttributeList

  Parameters:
    `i` - The index of the attribute in the list (starting at 0).
  Returns:
    The name of the indexed attribute, or null if the index is out of range.
  See Also:
    `getLength()`

### getURI

    public java.lang.String getURI(int i)

  Returns the URI of an attribute in this list (by position).

### getType

    public java.lang.String getType(int i)

  Return the type of an attribute in the list (by position).

  The attribute type is one of the strings "CDATA", "ID", "IDREF", "IDREFS", "NMTOKEN", "NMTOKENS", "ENTITY", "ENTITIES", or "NOTATION" (always in upper case).

  If the parser has not read a declaration for the attribute, or if the parser does not report attribute types, then it must return the value "CDATA" as stated in the XML 1.0 Recommentation (clause 3.3.3, "Attribute-Value Normalization").

  For an enumerated attribute that is not a notation, the parser will report the type as "NMTOKEN".

  Specified by:
    getType in interface org.xml.sax.AttributeList

  Parameters:
    `i` - The index of the attribute in the list (starting at 0).
  Returns:
    The attribute type as a string, or null if the index is out of range.
  See Also:
    `getLength()`, `getType(java.lang.String)`

### getValue

    public java.lang.String getValue(int i)

  Return the value of an attribute in the list (by position).

  If the attribute value is a list of tokens (IDREFS, ENTITIES, or NMTOKENS), the tokens will be concatenated into a single string separated by whitespace.

  Specified by:
    getValue in interface org.xml.sax.AttributeList

  Parameters:
    `i` - The index of the attribute in the list (starting at 0).
  Returns:
    The attribute value as a string, or null if the index is out of range.
  See Also:
    `getLength()`, `getValue(java.lang.String)`

### getType

    public java.lang.String getType(java.lang.String name)

  Return the type of an attribute in the list (by name).

  The return value is the same as the return value for getType(int).

  If the attribute name has a namespace prefix in the document, the application must include the prefix here.

  Specified by:
    getType in interface org.xml.sax.AttributeList

  Parameters:
    `name` - The name of the attribute.
  Returns:
    The attribute type as a string, or null if no such attribute exists.
  See Also:
    `getType(int)`

### getValue

    public java.lang.String getValue(java.lang.String name)

  Return the value of an attribute in the list (by name).

  The return value is the same as the return value for getValue(int).

  If the attribute name has a namespace prefix in the document, the application must include the prefix here.

  Specified by:
    getValue in interface org.xml.sax.AttributeList

  Parameters:
    `i` - The index of the attribute in the list.
  Returns:
    The attribute value as a string, or null if no such attribute exists.
  See Also:
    `getValue(int)`
