getNamespaces

public HashMap getNamespaces()

Description copied from interface: CustomAttributeValue

Returns the namespaces used within this attribute value. These namespaces should be declared appropriately on an enclosing element. Each namespace is stored as String key within the hash map. The corresponding value is a recommended prefix (as String) for this namespace. It will be declared for use with that namespace, if it is available within the scope of this attribute (i.e. not associated with a different namespace).

Specified by:

getNamespaces in interface CustomAttributeValue

Returns:

the namespaces used within this attribute

getValue

public java.lang.Object getValue()

Description copied from interface: CustomAttributeValue

Returns the value of the attribute.

Specified by:

getValue in interface CustomAttributeValue

Returns:

this attribute's value

setValue

public void setValue(QName value)

Sets the value for this attribute. If the attribute had a previous value, its namespace will be removed from the namespaces to be declared for this attribute instance. Consequently, if the new value is not null, its namespace will be added to the namespaces to declare in the surrounding scope of this attribute.

Parameters:

value - the new value for the attribute

serialize

public void serialize(XmlSerializer serializer,
                      QName attributeName)
               throws java.io.IOException

Serializes this attribute value using the provided XmlSerializer. The value is assigned to an attribute with the specified qualified name attributeName.

Specified by:

serialize in interface CustomAttributeValue

Parameters:

serializer - the serializer to write the attribute value to

attributeName - the name of the attribute to assign this attribute value to

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an error occurs during writing to the serializer
