The DOMLocator Interface

• Similar to SAX2's Locator interface. An application can implement this interface and then register it with the setLocator() method to find out in which line and column and file a given node appears.

• IDL:

    interface DOMLocator {
      int        getColumnNumber();
      int        getLineNumber();
      DOMString  getPublicID();
      DOMString  getSystemID();
      Node       getNode();
    };
  
  

• Java binding:

  package org.w3c.dom.contentModel;
  
  public interface DOMLocator {
  
      public int    getColumnNumber();
      public int    getLineNumber();
      public String getPublicID();
      public Node   getNode();
  
  }
