Constructor Summary
	NodeTypeTest(short nodeType)

Method Summary
double	getDefaultPriority() Determine the default priority of this node test when used on its own as a Pattern
short	getNodeType() Determine the types of nodes to which this pattern applies.
boolean	matches(NodeInfo node) Test whether this node test is satisfied by a given node
boolean	matches(short nodeType, int fingerprint) Test whether this node test is satisfied by a given node

Constructor Detail

public NodeTypeTest(short nodeType)

public final double getDefaultPriority()

Determine the default priority of this node test when used on its own as a Pattern

public short getNodeType()

Determine the types of nodes to which this pattern applies. Used for optimisation.

Returns: the type of node matched by this pattern. e.g. NodeInfo.ELEMENT or NodeInfo.TEXT

public final boolean matches(NodeInfo node)

Test whether this node test is satisfied by a given node

public boolean matches(short nodeType, int fingerprint)

Test whether this node test is satisfied by a given node

Parameters: nodeType The type of node to be matched fingerprint identifies the expanded name of the node to be matched
