Class DomText

protected DomText(DomDocument owner,
                  char[] buf,
                  int off,
                  int len)

protected DomText(DomDocument owner,
                  String value)

Constructs a text node associated with the specified document and holding the specified data.

This constructor should only be invoked by a Document object as part of its createTextNode functionality, or through a subclass which is similarly used in a "Sub-DOM" style layer.

public String getNodeName()

DOM L1 Returns the string "#text".

Specified by:

getNodeName in interface Node

Overrides:

getNodeName in interface DomNode

public String getWholeText()

Returns all text of Text nodes logically-adjacent text nodes to this node, concatenated in document order.
For instance, in the example below wholeText on the Text node that contains "bar" returns "barfoo", while on the Text node that contains "foo" it returns "barfoo".

Specified by:

getWholeText in interface Text

Since:

DOM Level 3

public boolean isElementContentWhitespace()

Returns whether this text node contains element content whitespace, often abusively called "ignorable whitespace". The text node is determined to contain whitespace in element content during the load of the document or if validation occurs while using Document.normalizeDocument().

public Text replaceWholeText(String content)
            throws DOMException

Replaces the text of the current node and all logically-adjacent text nodes with the specified text. All logically-adjacent text nodes are removed including the current node unless it was the recipient of the replacement text.
This method returns the node which received the replacement text. The returned node is:

• null, when the replacement text is the empty string;
• the current node, except when the current node is read-only;
• a new Text node of the same type ( Text or CDATASection) as the current node inserted at the location of the replacement.

For instance, in the above example calling replaceWholeText on the Text node that contains "bar" with "yo" in argument results in the following:
Where the nodes to be removed are read-only descendants of an EntityReference, the EntityReference must be removed instead of the read-only nodes. If any EntityReference to be removed has descendants that are not EntityReference, Text, or CDATASection nodes, the replaceWholeText method must fail before performing any modification of the document, raising a DOMException with the code NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR.
For instance, in the example below calling replaceWholeText on the Text node that contains "bar" fails, because the EntityReference node "ent" contains an Element node which cannot be removed.

Specified by:

replaceWholeText in interface Text

Parameters:

content - The content of the replacing Text node.

Returns:

The Text node created with the specified content.

Throws:

DOMException - NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if one of the Text nodes being replaced is readonly.

Since:

DOM Level 3

public Text splitText(int offset)

DOM L1 Splits this text node in two parts at the offset, returning the new text node (the sibling with the second part).
