Method Detail
-
getPriority
float getPriority()
Return the priority of this Extension. Extensions are registered from lowest to highest priority. So if for some reason you need to come before/after another existing extension make sure your priority is lower/higher than theirs.
-
getImplementedExtensions
java.util.Iterator getImplementedExtensions()
This should return the list of extensions implemented by this BridgeExtension, these are added to the list of requiredExtensions that the User Agent supports for purposes of the 'switch' element in SVG.- Returns:
- An iterator containing strings one for each implemented extension.
-
getAuthor
java.lang.String getAuthor()
This should return the individual or company name responsible for the this implementation of the extension.
-
getContactAddress
java.lang.String getContactAddress()
This should return a contact address (usually an e-mail address).
-
getURL
java.lang.String getURL()
This should return a URL where information can be obtained on this extension.
-
getDescription
java.lang.String getDescription()
Human readable description of the extension. Perhaps that should be a resource for internationalization? (although I suppose it could be done internally)
-
registerTags
void registerTags(BridgeContext ctx)
This method should update the BridgeContext with support for the tags in this extension. In some rare cases it may be necessary to replace existing tag handlers, although this is discouraged.- Parameters:
ctx
- The BridgeContext instance to be updated
-
isDynamicElement
boolean isDynamicElement(org.w3c.dom.Element e)
Whether the presence of the specified element should cause the document to be dynamic. If this element isn't handled by this BridgeExtension, just return false.- Parameters:
e
- The element to check.
