Method Detail

• equals

  boolean equals(String uri,
               String prefix)

  Method equals.

  Parameters:

  uri -

  prefix -

  Returns:

  Returns boolean.

• getPrefix

  String getPrefix()

  Get the namespace prefix. This method may return null for instances returned by OMFactory.createOMNamespace(String, String). This indicates that Axiom should generate a namespace prefix when this instance is passed to one of the factory methods in OMFactory. In all other cases the return value is not null. In particular, an empty string indicates that no prefix is used, i.e. that the namespace is used as default namespace.

  Returns:

  the namespace prefix

• getName

  String getName()

  Deprecated. This method is deprecated. Please use getNamespaceURI() method instead.
  Method getName.

  Returns:

  Returns String.

• getNamespaceURI

  String getNamespaceURI()

  Get the namespace URI. This method never returns null. It may return an empty string if this instance represents a namespace declaration of type xmlns="". This may be the case for instances returned by OMElement.getAllDeclaredNamespaces(). On the other hand, methods such as OMNamedInformationItem.getNamespace() will return null for information items that have no namespace. In that case the returned string is never empty.

  Returns:

  the namespace URI
