public interface Constants

Interface that is the base class for constants and serves as a tagging interface for these constants. The actual constants are singletons in the scope of this interface.

Since:

5.1

Nested Class Summary

static interface	Constants.Clone Base interface to flag a constant that relates to state-cloning
static class	Constants.DeepCopyConstant Implementation of the constant DEEP_COPY
static class	Constants.EmptyCopyConstant Implementation of the constant EMPTY_COPY
static interface	Constants.Merge Base interface to flag a constant that relates to state-merging
static class	Constants.OverwriteConstant Implementation of the constant OVERWRITE.
static class	Constants.SmartCopyConstant Implementation of the constant SMART_COPY

Field Summary

static Constants.Clone	DEEP_COPY The clone operation will copy each node and the complete hierarchy explicitly
static Constants.Clone	EMPTY_COPY The clone operation will return empty state
static Constants.Merge	OVERWRITE The merge operation will overwrite existing nodes in the target document.
static Constants.Clone	SMART_COPY The clone operation will return a facade that only records state modification

Field Detail

DEEP_COPY

static final Constants.Clone DEEP_COPY

The clone operation will copy each node and the complete hierarchy explicitly

EMPTY_COPY

static final Constants.Clone EMPTY_COPY

The clone operation will return empty state

SMART_COPY

static final Constants.Clone SMART_COPY

The clone operation will return a facade that only records state modification

OVERWRITE

static final Constants.Merge OVERWRITE

The merge operation will overwrite existing nodes in the target document.
