## Class ElementDefinitionImpl

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.xerces.dom.NodeImpl
  - - org.apache.xerces.dom.ChildNode
    - - org.apache.xerces.dom.ParentNode
      - - org.apache.xerces.dom.ElementDefinitionImpl

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, org.w3c.dom.events.EventTarget, org.w3c.dom.Node, org.w3c.dom.NodeList
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    DeferredElementDefinitionImpl

      public class ElementDefinitionImpl
      extends ParentNode

  NON-DOM CLASS: Describe one of the Elements (and its associated Attributes) defined in this Document Type.

  I've included this in Level 1 purely as an anchor point for default attributes. In Level 2 it should enable the ChildRule support.

    - #### ElementDefinitionImpl

          public ElementDefinitionImpl(CoreDocumentImpl ownerDocument,
                               java.lang.String name)

      Factory constructor.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getNodeType

          public short getNodeType()

      A short integer indicating what type of node this is. The named constants for this value are defined in the org.w3c.dom.Node interface.
      Specified by:
        `getNodeType` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
      Specified by:
        `getNodeType` in class `NodeImpl`

    - #### getNodeName

          public java.lang.String getNodeName()

      Returns the element definition name
      Specified by:
        `getNodeName` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
      Specified by:
        `getNodeName` in class `NodeImpl`

    - #### cloneNode

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

      Replicate this object.
      Specified by:
        `cloneNode` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
      Overrides:
        `cloneNode` in class `ParentNode`
      Parameters:
        `deep` - If `true`, recursively clone the subtree under the specified node; if `false`, clone only the node itself (and its attributes, if it is an `Element`).
      Returns:
        The duplicate node.
      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.

        `

    - #### getAttributes

          public org.w3c.dom.NamedNodeMap getAttributes()

      Query the attributes defined on this Element.

      In the base implementation this Map simply contains Attribute objects representing the defaults. In a more serious implementation, it would contain AttributeDefinitionImpl objects for all declared Attributes, indicating which are Default, DefaultFixed, Implicit and/or Required.

      Specified by:
        `getAttributes` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
      Overrides:
        `getAttributes` in class `NodeImpl`
      Returns:
        org.w3c.dom.NamedNodeMap containing org.w3c.dom.Attribute
      See Also:
        `ElementImpl`
