## Class EntityImpl

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.xerces.dom.NodeImpl
  - - org.apache.xerces.dom.ChildNode
    - - org.apache.xerces.dom.ParentNode
      - - org.apache.xerces.dom.EntityImpl

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, org.w3c.dom.Entity, org.w3c.dom.events.EventTarget, org.w3c.dom.Node, org.w3c.dom.NodeList
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    DeferredEntityImpl

      public class EntityImpl
      extends ParentNode
      implements org.w3c.dom.Entity

  Entity nodes hold the reference data for an XML Entity -- either parsed or unparsed. The nodeName (inherited from Node) will contain the name (if any) of the Entity. Its data will be contained in the Entity's children, in exactly the structure which an EntityReference to this name will present within the document's body.

  Note that this object models the actual entity, _not_ the entity declaration or the entity reference.

  An XML processor may choose to completely expand entities before the structure model is passed to the DOM; in this case, there will be no EntityReferences in the DOM tree.

  Quoting the 10/01 DOM Proposal,

  > "The DOM Level 1 does not support editing Entity nodes; if a user wants to make changes to the contents of an Entity, every related EntityReference node has to be replaced in the structure model by a clone of the Entity's contents, and then the desired changes must be made to each of those clones instead. All the descendants of an Entity node are readonly."

  I'm interpreting this as: It is the parser's responsibilty to call the non-DOM operation setReadOnly(true,true) after it constructs the Entity. Since the DOM explicitly decided not to deal with this, _any_ answer will involve a non-DOM operation, and this is the simplest solution.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getNodeType

          public short getNodeType()

      A short integer indicating what type of node this is. The named constants for this value are defined in the org.w3c.dom.Node interface.
      Specified by:
        `getNodeType` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
      Specified by:
        `getNodeType` in class `NodeImpl`

    - #### getNodeName

          public java.lang.String getNodeName()

      Returns the entity name
      Specified by:
        `getNodeName` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
      Specified by:
        `getNodeName` in class `NodeImpl`

    - #### cloneNode

          public org.w3c.dom.Node cloneNode(boolean deep)

      Clone node.
      Specified by:
        `cloneNode` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
      Overrides:
        `cloneNode` in class `ParentNode`
      Parameters:
        `deep` - If `true`, recursively clone the subtree under the specified node; if `false`, clone only the node itself (and its attributes, if it is an `Element`).
      Returns:
        The duplicate node.
      See Also:
        `

        Example: Cloning a Text node will copy both the node and the text it contains.

        Example: Cloning something that has children -- Element or Attr, for example -- will _not_ clone those children unless a "deep clone" has been requested. A shallow clone of an Attr node will yield an empty Attr of the same name.

        NOTE: Clones will always be read/write, even if the node being cloned is read-only, to permit applications using only the DOM API to obtain editable copies of locked portions of the tree.
