Class ContentFilter

java.lang.Object
  org.jdom.filter.AbstractFilter
      org.jdom.filter.ContentFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, Filter

public class ContentFilter
extends AbstractFilter

A general purpose Filter able to represent all legal JDOM objects or a specific subset. Filtering is accomplished by way of a filtering mask in which each bit represents whether a JDOM object is visible or not. For example to view all Text and CDATA nodes in the content of element x.

      Filter filter = new ContentFilter(ContentFilter.TEXT |
                                        ContentFilter.CDATA);
      List content = x.getContent(filter);
 

For those who don't like bit-masking, set methods are provided as an alternative. For example to allow everything except Comment nodes.

      Filter filter =  new ContentFilter();
      filter.setCommentVisible(false);
      List content = x.getContent(filter);
 

The default is to allow all valid JDOM objects.
