## weblogic.apache.xerces.dom
Class ChildNode

Direct Known Subclasses:

public abstract class ChildNode
extends NodeImpl

ChildNode inherits from NodeImpl and adds the capability of being a child by having references to its previous and next siblings.

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.

Field Detail

### previousSibling

    protected ChildNode previousSibling

  Previous sibling.

### nextSibling

    protected ChildNode nextSibling

  Next sibling.

Constructor Detail

### ChildNode

    protected ChildNode(CoreDocumentImpl ownerDocument)

  No public constructor; only subclasses of Node should be instantiated, and those normally via a Document's factory methods

  Every Node knows what Document it belongs to.

### ChildNode

    public ChildNode()

  Constructor for serialization.

Method Detail

### cloneNode

    public org.w3c.dom.Node cloneNode(boolean deep)

  Returns a duplicate of a given node. You can consider this a generic "copy constructor" for nodes. The newly returned object should be completely independent of the source object's subtree, so changes in one after the clone has been made will not affect the other.

  Note: since we never have any children deep is meaningless here, ParentNode overrides this behavior.

  Overrides:
    cloneNode in class NodeImpl
  See Also:

    Example: Cloning a Text node will copy both the node and the text it contains.

    Example: Cloning something that has children -- Element or Attr, for example -- will _not_ clone those children unless a "deep clone" has been requested. A shallow clone of an Attr node will yield an empty Attr of the same name.

    NOTE: Clones will always be read/write, even if the node being cloned is read-only, to permit applications using only the DOM API to obtain editable copies of locked portions of the tree.

### getParentNode

    public org.w3c.dom.Node getParentNode()

  Returns the parent node of this node

  Overrides:
    getParentNode in class NodeImpl

### getNextSibling

    public org.w3c.dom.Node getNextSibling()

  The next child of this node's parent, or null if none

  Overrides:
    getNextSibling in class NodeImpl

### getPreviousSibling

    public org.w3c.dom.Node getPreviousSibling()

  The previous child of this node's parent, or null if none

  Overrides:
    getPreviousSibling in class NodeImpl
