Class DOMImplementationImpl

public class DOMImplementationImpl extends CoreDOMImplementationImpl implements DOMImplementation

The DOMImplementation class is description of a particular implementation of the Document Object Model. As such its data is static, shared by all instances of this implementation.

The DOM API requires that it be a real object rather than static methods. However, there's nothing that says it can't be a singleton, so that's how I've implemented it.

Method Detail

createDocument

public Document createDocument(String namespaceURI, String qualifiedName, DocumentType doctype)
Introduced in DOM Level 2.

getDOMImplementation

public static DOMImplementation getDOMImplementation()
NON-DOM: Obtain and return the single shared object

hasFeature

public boolean hasFeature(String feature, String version)
Test if the DOM implementation supports a specific "feature" -- currently meaning language and level thereof.

Parameters: feature The package name of the feature to test. In Level 1, supported values are "HTML" and "XML" (case-insensitive). At this writing, org.apache.xerces.dom supports only XML. version The version number of the feature being tested. This is interpreted as "Version of the DOM API supported for the specified Feature", and in Level 1 should be "1.0"

Returns: true iff this implementation is compatable with the specified feature and version.
