Note that this object models the actual entity, _not_ the entity declaration or the entity reference.
An XML processor may choose to completely expand entities before the structure model is passed to the DOM; in this case, there will be no EntityReferences in the DOM tree.
Quoting the 10/01 DOM Proposal,
"The DOM Level 1 does not support editing Entity nodes; if a user wants to make changes to the contents of an Entity, every related EntityReference node has to be replaced in the structure model by a clone of the Entity's contents, and then the desired changes must be made to each of those clones instead. All the descendants of an Entity node are readonly."I'm interpreting this as: It is the parser's responsibilty to call the non-DOM operation setReadOnly(true,true) after it constructs the Entity. Since the DOM explicitly decided not to deal with this, _any_ answer will involve a non-DOM operation, and this is the simplest solution.

fNodeIndex | back to summary |
---|---|
protected transient int fNodeIndex Node index. |
serialVersionUID | back to summary |
---|---|
pack-priv static final long serialVersionUID Hides com. Serialization version. |
DeferredEntityImpl | back to summary |
---|---|
pack-priv DeferredEntityImpl(DeferredDocumentImpl ownerDocument, int nodeIndex) This is the deferred constructor. Only the fNodeIndex is given here. All other data, can be requested from the ownerDocument via the index. |
getNodeIndex | back to summary |
---|---|
public int getNodeIndex() Implements com. Returns the node index. |
synchronizeChildren | back to summary |
---|---|
protected void synchronizeChildren() Overrides com. Synchronize the children. |
synchronizeData | back to summary |
---|---|
protected void synchronizeData() Overrides com. Synchronize the entity data. This is special because of the way that the "fast" version stores the information. |
