namespace <-> prefix bindings.
This interface extends NamespaceContext and provides
an additional functionality, which is necessary to declare
namespaced attributes on elements. The added method is for
self-consumption by the marshaller.
This object is composed into a Serializer.
| Modifier and Type | Method and Description |
|---|---|
| public String | Returns: returns the assigned prefix. If the namespace is bound to the default namespace, null is returned.If the caller has any particular preference to the
prefix, pass that as a parameter. The callee will try
to honor it. Set null if there's no particular preference. preferedPrefix, boolean If this parameter is true, this method must assign a prefix
to this namespace, even if it's already bound to the default
namespace. IOW, this method will never return null if this
flag is true. This functionality is necessary to declare
namespace URI used for attribute names. requirePrefix)Declares a new namespace binding within the current context. |

| declareNamespace | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public String declareNamespace(String namespaceUri, String preferedPrefix, boolean requirePrefix) Declares a new namespace binding within the current context. The prefix is automatically assigned by MarshallingContext. If a given namespace URI is already declared, nothing happens. It is NOT an error to declare the same namespace URI more than once. For marshalling to work correctly, all namespace bindings for an element must be declared between its startElement method and its endAttributes event. Calling the same method with the same parameter between the endAttributes and the endElement returns the same prefix.

| force | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public int force(String uri, String prefix) Forcibly make a namespace declaration in effect. If the (prefix,uri) binding is already in-scope, this method simply returns the assigned prefix index. Otherwise a new declaration will be put. | |
