The NodeCM Interface

• Extends the DOM2 Node interface with methods for guided document editing.

• IDL:

    interface NodeCM : Node {
      boolean canInsertBefore(in Node newChild, 
                              in Node refChild)
                                 raises(dom::DOMException);
      boolean canRemoveChild(in Node oldChild)
                                raises(dom::DOMException);
      boolean canReplaceChild(in Node newChild, 
                              in Node oldChild)
                                 raises(dom::DOMException);
      boolean canAppendChild(in Node newChild)
                                raises(dom::DOMException);
      boolean isValid();
    };
  

• Java binding:

  package org.w3c.dom.contentModel;
  
  public interface NodeCM extends Node {
  
      public boolean canInsertBefore(Node newChild, Node refChild)
        throws DOMException;
      public boolean canRemoveChild(Node oldChild)
        throws DOMException;
      public boolean canReplaceChild(Node newChild, Node oldChild)
        throws DOMException;
      public boolean canAppendChild(Node newChild)
        throws DOMException;
      public boolean isValid();
  
  }
