    All Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `protected void` | `characters(char[] data, int start, int length, PropertyList pList, org.xml.sax.Locator locator)` Adds characters.
    `void` | `endOfNode()` Primarily used for making final content model validation checks and/or informing the `FOEventHandler` that the end of this FO has been reached.
    `ExtensionAttachment` | `getExtensionAttachment()` This method is overridden by extension elements and allows the extension element to return a pass-through attachment which the parent formatting objects should simply carry with them but otherwise ignore.
    `java.lang.String` | `getNamespaceURI()` Returns the namespace URI for this node
    `java.lang.String` | `getNormalNamespacePrefix()` Returns the normally used namespace prefix for this node
    `void` | `processNode(java.lang.String elementName, org.xml.sax.Locator locator, org.xml.sax.Attributes attlist, PropertyList propertyList)` Initialize the node with its name, location information, and attributes The attributes must be used immediately as the sax attributes will be altered for the next element.
    `protected void` | `validateChildNode(org.xml.sax.Locator loc, java.lang.String nsURI, java.lang.String localName)` Checks to make sure, during SAX processing of input document, that the incoming node is valid for this (parent) node (e.g., checking to see that `fo:table` is not an immediate child of `fo:root`) called from `FOTreeBuilder.startElement(String, String, String, Attributes)` before constructing the child `FObj`.

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### AbstractPSExtensionObject

          public AbstractPSExtensionObject(FONode parent)

      Main constructor.
      Parameters:
        `parent` - the parent node
      See Also:
        `FONode.FONode(FONode)`

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### validateChildNode

          protected void validateChildNode(org.xml.sax.Locator loc,
                                           java.lang.String nsURI,
                                           java.lang.String localName)
                                    throws ValidationException

      Checks to make sure, during SAX processing of input document, that the incoming node is valid for this (parent) node (e.g., checking to see that `fo:table` is not an immediate child of `fo:root`) called from `FOTreeBuilder.startElement(String, String, String, Attributes)` before constructing the child `FObj`.
      Overrides:
        `validateChildNode` in class `FONode`
      Parameters:
        `loc` - location in the FO source file
        `nsURI` - namespace of incoming node
        `localName` - name of the incoming node (without namespace prefix)
      Throws:
        `ValidationException` - if incoming node not valid for parent

    - #### characters

          protected void characters(char[] data,
                                    int start,
                                    int length,
                                    PropertyList pList,
                                    org.xml.sax.Locator locator)

      Adds characters. Does nothing by default. To be overridden in subclasses that allow `#PCDATA` content.
      Overrides:
        `characters` in class `FONode`
      Parameters:
        `data` - array of characters containing text to be added
        `start` - starting array element to add
        `length` - number of elements to add
        `pList` - currently applicable PropertyList
        `locator` - location in the XSL-FO source file.

    - #### getNamespaceURI

          public java.lang.String getNamespaceURI()

      Returns the namespace URI for this node
      Overrides:
        `getNamespaceURI` in class `FONode`
      Returns:
        the namespace URI for this node

    - #### getNormalNamespacePrefix

          public java.lang.String getNormalNamespacePrefix()

      Returns the normally used namespace prefix for this node
      Specified by:
        `getNormalNamespacePrefix` in class `FONode`
      Returns:
        the normally used namespace prefix for this kind of node (ex. "fo" for XSL-FO)

    - #### processNode

          public void processNode(java.lang.String elementName,
                                  org.xml.sax.Locator locator,
                                  org.xml.sax.Attributes attlist,
                                  PropertyList propertyList)
                           throws FOPException

      Initialize the node with its name, location information, and attributes The attributes must be used immediately as the sax attributes will be altered for the next element.
      Overrides:
        `processNode` in class `FONode`
      Parameters:
        `elementName` - element name (e.g., "fo:block")
        `locator` - Locator object (ignored by default)
        `attlist` - Collection of attributes passed to us from the parser.
        `propertyList` - the property list of the parent node
      Throws:
        `FOPException` - for errors or inconsistencies in the attributes

    - #### endOfNode

          public void endOfNode()
                         throws FOPException

      Primarily used for making final content model validation checks and/or informing the `FOEventHandler` that the end of this FO has been reached. The default implementation simply calls `FONode.finalizeNode()`, without sending any event to the `FOEventHandler`.

      Note: the recommended way to override this method in subclasses is

      `super.endOfNode(); // invoke finalizeNode()`

      `getFOEventHandler().endXXX(); // send endOfNode() notification`

      Overrides:
        `endOfNode` in class `FONode`
      Throws:
        `FOPException` - if there's a problem during processing

    - #### getExtensionAttachment

          public ExtensionAttachment getExtensionAttachment()

      This method is overridden by extension elements and allows the extension element to return a pass-through attachment which the parent formatting objects should simply carry with them but otherwise ignore. This mechanism is used to pass non-standard information from the FO tree through to the layout engine and the renderers.
      Overrides:
        `getExtensionAttachment` in class `FONode`
      Returns:
        the extension attachment if one is created by the extension element, null otherwise.
