Class XMLElement

java.lang.Object

com.google.gwt.uibinder.rebind.XMLElement

public class XMLElement
extends Object

A wrapper for Element that limits the way parsers can interact with the XML document, and provides some convenience methods.

The main function of this wrapper is to ensure that parsers can only read elements and attributes by 'consuming' them, which removes the given value. This allows for a natural hierarchy among parsers -- more specific parsers will run first, and if they consume a value, less-specific parsers will not see it.

Consumes and returns all child elements selected by the interpreter. Note that text nodes are not elements, and so are not presented for interpretation, and are not consumed.

Parameters:

interpreter - Should return true for any child that should be consumed and returned by the consumeChildElements call

Throws:

com.google.gwt.core.ext.UnableToCompleteException

consumeImageResourceAttribute

public String consumeImageResourceAttribute(String name)

Each element encountered will be passed to the given Interpreter for possible replacement. Escaping is performed to allow the returned text to serve as a Java string literal used as input to a setInnerHTML call.

This call requires an interpreter to make sense of any special children. The odds are you want to use HtmlInterpreter for an HTML value, or TextInterpreter for text.

Parameters:

interpreter - Called for each element, expected to return a string replacement for it, or null if it should be left as is

com.google.gwt.core.ext.UnableToCompleteException - If any elements present are not consumed by the interpreter

consumeInnerTextEscapedAsStringLiteral

public String consumeInnerTextEscapedAsStringLiteral(XMLElement.Interpreter<String> interpreter)
