Class AbstractNode

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Node
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    AbstractJjtreeNode
    public abstract class AbstractNode
extends Object
implements Node
    Base class for all implementations of the Node interface.

    Please use the Node interface wherever possible and not this class, unless you're compelled to do so.

    Note that nearly all methods of the Node interface will have default implementations with PMD 7.0.0, so that it will not be necessary to extend this class directly.

public final boolean hasDecendantOfAnyType​(Class<?>... types)
        Deprecated.

      • hasDescendantOfAnyType

        @Deprecated
public final boolean hasDescendantOfAnyType​(Class<?>... types)
        Deprecated.
        This is implemented inefficiently, with PMD 7 Node streams will provide a better alternative. We cannot ensure binary compatibility because the methods on 7.0 expect at least one class type, by requiring one Class parameter before the varargs (Effective Java 2nd ed., Item 42).
        Returns true if this node has a descendant of any type among the provided types.
        Parameters:
        types - Types to test

      • getUserData

        @Deprecated

        Returns:
        The user data set on this node.

      • setUserData

        @Deprecated
public void setUserData​(Object userData)
        Deprecated.
        Description copied from interface: Node
        Set the user data associated with this node.

        PMD itself will never set user data onto a node. Nor should any Rule implementation, as the AST nodes are shared between concurrently executing Rules (i.e. it is not thread-safe).

        This API is most useful for external applications looking to leverage PMD's robust support for AST structures, in which case application specific annotations on the AST nodes can be quite useful.

        Specified by:
        setUserData in interface Node
        Parameters:
        userData - The data to set on this node.

      • children

        public Iterable<? extends Node> children()
        Description copied from interface: Node

      for (Node child : node.children()) {
          // process child
      }

        This method's return type will be changed to NodeStream in PMD 7, which is a more powerful kind of iterable. The change will be source compatible.

        Specified by:
        children in interface Node
        Returns:
        A new iterable for the children of this node

      • getXPathNodeName

        public String getXPathNodeName()
        Gets the name of the node that is used to match it with XPath queries.
