Method Detail

execute

public void execute(TransformerImpl transformer)
Copy the text literal to the result tree.

Parameters: transformer non-null reference to the the current transform-time state.

Throws: TransformerException

getChars

public char[] getChars()
Get the characters that will be output to the result tree..

Returns: Array of characters that will be output to the result tree

getDisableOutputEscaping

public boolean getDisableOutputEscaping()
Get the "disable-output-escaping" attribute. Normally, the xml output method escapes & and < (and possibly other characters) when outputting text nodes. This ensures that the output is well-formed XML. However, it is sometimes convenient to be able to produce output that is almost, but not quite well-formed XML; for example, the output may include ill-formed sections which are intended to be transformed into well-formed XML by a subsequent non-XML aware process. For this reason, XSLT provides a mechanism for disabling output escaping. An xsl:value-of or xsl:text element may have a disable-output-escaping attribute; the allowed values are yes or no; the default is no; if the value is yes, then a text node generated by instantiating the xsl:value-of or xsl:text element should be output without any escaping.

Returns: Boolean value of "disable-output-escaping" attribute.

getNodeName

public String getNodeName()
Return the node name.

Returns: The element's name

getNodeValue

public String getNodeValue()
Get the value of the node as a string.

Returns: null

getPreserveSpace

public boolean getPreserveSpace()
Get whether or not space should be preserved.

Returns: Boolean flag indicating whether or not space should be preserved

getXSLToken

public int getXSLToken()
Get an integer representation of the element type.

Returns: An integer representation of the element, defined in the Constants class.

setChars

public void setChars(char[] v)
Set the characters that will be output to the result tree..

Parameters: v Array of characters that will be output to the result tree

setDisableOutputEscaping

public void setDisableOutputEscaping(boolean v)
Set the "disable-output-escaping" attribute. Normally, the xml output method escapes & and < (and possibly other characters) when outputting text nodes. This ensures that the output is well-formed XML. However, it is sometimes convenient to be able to produce output that is almost, but not quite well-formed XML; for example, the output may include ill-formed sections which are intended to be transformed into well-formed XML by a subsequent non-XML aware process.

An xsl:value-of or xsl:text element may have a disable-output-escaping attribute; the allowed values are yes or no; the default is no; if the value is yes, then a text node generated by instantiating the xsl:value-of or xsl:text element should be output without any escaping.

Parameters: v Boolean value for "disable-output-escaping" attribute.

setPreserveSpace

public void setPreserveSpace(boolean v)
Set whether or not space should be preserved.

Parameters: v Boolean flag indicating whether or not space should be preserved
