Interface ItsNatDocument

All Superinterfaces:

ItsNatUserData

All Known Subinterfaces:

ItsNatHTMLDocument

public interface ItsNatDocument
extends ItsNatUserData

Is the ItsNat wrapper of a org.w3c.dom.Document object. Usually represents a web page loaded by a client.

Provides many useful utilities to simulate "The Browser Is The Server" approach of ItsNat like event listener registries. Is the factory of DOM utility objects and ItsNat components.

ItsNat document objects are created using a ItsNatDocumentTemplate as pattern and usually obtained calling ItsNatServletRequest.getItsNatDocument() or ItsNatServletResponse.getItsNatDocument() when a new document (page) is loading or calling ItsNatEvent.getItsNatDocument() when an event is received.

Is not thread save and any object depending on this document (DOM utility objects, components etc) is not thread save too. This is not a problem because any ItsNat request/response thread synchronizes this object before calling user defined code, user defined code executed by an ItsNat request/response thread may be unaware of synchronization isues.

toDOM

org.w3c.dom.DocumentFragment toDOM(java.lang.String code)

Parses and converts to DOM the specified string containing markup usually to be inserted into the document.

The specified markup must not be a complete document and must be a well-formatted markup fragment.

This method does not perform caching, markup code is ever parsed from the scratch. Use with small markup fragments. For very small fragments use normal DOM methods and for big fragments use the fragment templating system.

Be careful with the security using this method when the string is constructed containing user data. For instance, a malicious user can add unexpected elements like <script>, <link> or <object>. This is not the recommended approach, insert user provided data using DOM APIs after this call.

Parameters:

code - the markup to parse and convert to DOM

Returns:

a document fragment with the result of parsing.

Returns:

the document proxy of the owner of this document.

getScriptUtil

ScriptUtil getScriptUtil()

Returns the scripting utility.

Returns:

the scripting utility.

getItsNatComponentManager

The document is marked as invalid when is unloaded (no more attached to a browser document/page). XML documents are automatically invalidated after loading.

If invalid the document is not found anymore on session registry (ItsNatSession.getItsNatDocumentById(String)).

Returns:

true if this document is invalid.

See Also:

setInvalid()

setInvalid

void setInvalid()

addMutationEventListener

void addMutationEventListener(org.w3c.dom.events.EventTarget target,
                              org.w3c.dom.events.EventListener listener,
                              boolean useCapture)

Registers a new DOM org.w3c.dom.events.EventListener to receive any node mutation as a mutation event fired by the client, using the default communication mode and timeout of the document and no custom JavaScript code.

Parameters:

target - target element. Can not be null.

listener - the listener to receive events.

useCapture - if event capture is enabled. False is the most portable value (MSIE v6 does not support event capture).

addMutationEventListener

void addMutationEventListener(org.w3c.dom.events.EventTarget target,
                              org.w3c.dom.events.EventListener listener,
                              boolean useCapture,
                              int commMode,
                              java.lang.String preSendCode,
                              long eventTimeout)

Registers a new DOM org.w3c.dom.events.EventListener to receive any node mutation as a mutation event fired by the client.

When a mutation event is received, this event carries the necessary data to synchronize the server target element with the client. After this automatic synchronization, the listener is called.

Current implementation does the following:

  ParamTransport[] params = new ParamTransport[]{ new ClientMutation() };
        addEventListener(target,"DOMAttrModified",listener,useCapture,commMode,params,preSendCode,eventTimeout);
        addEventListener(target,"DOMNodeInserted",listener,useCapture,commMode,params,preSendCode,eventTimeout);
        addEventListener(target,"DOMNodeRemoved",listener,useCapture,commMode,params,preSendCode,eventTimeout);
        addEventListener(target,"DOMCharacterDataModified",listener,useCapture,commMode,params,preSendCode,eventTimeout);
 

If the target is the org.w3c.dom.Document object, every document change in the client is automatically synchronized in the server.

Mutation events only works with some W3C browses like Mozilla/FireFox, Safari and Opera (MSIE 6 does not support W3C DOM mutation events).

Parameters:

target - target element. Can not be null.

listener - the listener to receive events.

useCapture - if event capture is enabled. False is the most portable value (MSIE v6 does not support event capture).

commMode - communication mode.

preSendCode - custom JavaScript code to execute before an event of this listener type is fired. May be null.

eventTimeout - the timeout of asynchronous events. If negative no timeout is defined.

                          java.lang.String name,
                          org.w3c.dom.events.EventListener listener,
                          int commMode,
                          ParamTransport[] extraParams,
                          java.lang.String preSendCode,
                          long eventTimeout)

Registers a "user" EventListener.

When this listener is registered the server sends custom JavaScript code to register a handler in the client side with the specified node target and name.

User events are fired in the client calling the ItsNat JavaScript method fireUserEvent(targetNode,name) or dispatchUserEvent(targetNode,evt) (where evt is a special user event see Manual for more info). For instance:

document.getItsNatDoc().fireUserEvent(document.body,"myUserAction");

Target node and name must be the same parameters used to register the listener.

If two or more listeners are registered sharing the same node target and name, they all will receive the same event fired by fireUserEvent with this target/name pair. If a listener instance was already registered and is registered again with the same target and name, this second call does nothing.

Parameters:

target - target element. Can not be null.

name - the user defined event type name.

listener - the listener to receive events.

commMode - communication mode.

extraParams - optional client to server data transport and synchronization rules. May be null.

preSendCode - custom JavaScript code to execute before an event of this listener type is fired. May be null.

eventTimeout - the timeout of asynchronous events. If negative no timeout is defined.

Create a remote event to be dispatched locally or to the client.

This method works the same as org.w3c.dom.events.Document.createEvent(String), in this case the event object created is ready to be dispatched to the remote event listeners registered calling:

• EventTarget.dispatchEvent(Event): this method detects whether the submitted event was created by this factory method then redirects to dispatchEvent(EventTarget,Event).
• dispatchEvent(EventTarget,Event)
• dispatchEventLocally(EventTarget,Event)
• ClientDocument.dispatchEvent(EventTarget,Event)

Parameters:

eventType - The eventType parameter specifies the type of Event interface to be created.

Throws:

org.w3c.dom.DOMException

dispatchEvent

boolean dispatchEvent(org.w3c.dom.events.EventTarget target,
                      org.w3c.dom.events.Event evt)
                      throws org.w3c.dom.events.EventException

Dispatches the specified event to the specified node target.

If the current thread was not started calling ClientDocument.startEventDispatcherThread(Runnable) current implementation calls dispatchEventLocally(EventTarget,Event), otherwise calls ClientDocument.dispatchEvent(EventTarget,Event).

This method is called by org.w3c.dom.events.EventTarget#dispatchEvent(Event) when the event object was created calling createEvent(String).

Parameters:

target - the event target DOM object.

evt - the DOM event to send to target.

Throws:

org.w3c.dom.events.EventException

dispatchEventLocally

boolean dispatchEventLocally(org.w3c.dom.events.EventTarget target,

                             throws org.w3c.dom.events.EventException

Dispatches the specified event to the specified node target directly on the server.

The event is routed across the server DOM tree and dispatched to listeners as specified by the W3C DOM Events standard including bubbling and capturing.

Parameters:

target - the event target DOM object.

evt - the DOM event to send to target.

Throws:

org.w3c.dom.events.EventException

the creation time.

addReferrerItsNatServletRequestListener

void addReferrerItsNatServletRequestListener(ItsNatServletRequestListener listener)

Registers a new ItsNat referrer request listener. This listener is called when the framework loads a new target document and this document is being unloaded before the target request listeners are executed (referrer push).

Parameters:

listener - the listener to register.

See Also:

removeReferrerItsNatServletRequestListener(ItsNatServletRequestListener), ItsNatDocumentTemplate.isReferrerPushEnabled()

isDisconnectedChildNodesFromClient

boolean isDisconnectedChildNodesFromClient(org.w3c.dom.Node node)

Informs whether the specified node is marked as "child nodes disconnected"

Parameters:

node - the node to ask.

Returns:

true if the specified node is marked as "child nodes disconnected"

See Also:

disconnectChildNodesFromClient(Node), reconnectChildNodesToClient(Node)

disconnectChildNodesFromClient

org.w3c.dom.Node disconnectChildNodesFromClient(org.w3c.dom.Node node)

Removes the child nodes of the specified node to save server memory but not in client.

After this call the child nodes in client are not longer in sync with server and can be freely manipulated (including insertion and removing).

The specified node is marked as "child nodes disconnected", the inmmediate call to isDisconnectedChildNodesFromClient(Node) will return true.

Returns the removed child nodes following the same criteria as ItsNatDOMUtil.extractChildren(Node).

If the content of the parent node is already disconnected or is a node not into the document an ItsNatException is thrown.

Parameters:

node - the parent node which content is going to be disconnected and removed.

Returns:

null if empty, the child node when only a child node or a DocumentFragment containing the child nodes.

See Also:

reconnectChildNodesToClient(Node)

reconnectChildNodesToClient

void reconnectChildNodesToClient(org.w3c.dom.Node node)

Reconnects further new child nodes of the specified node with the client, the child nodes in client are removed and again the client will be in sync with server.

Further insertion of child nodes will be also effective in client.

This method is automatically/implicitly called by ItsNat when a node is inserted into a "child nodes disconnected" node, the node inserted then in also inserted into the client now in sync.

If the speficied node is not a "child nodes disconnected" node this call does nothing.

Parameters:

node - the parent node which content will be in sync again with client.
