Interface XBLImplementationList

public interface XBLImplementationList

The xblImplementations attribute on all elements must return an instance of an XBLImplementationList object (the same object for the lifetime of the element), which is a live list of the implementation objects provided by the bindings for that bound element at any particular point in time. The list must be ordered such that the most derived binding is last, and the base binding has index zero.

Method Summary

int	getLength() The length attribute must return the number of implementation objects associated with the bound element, or zero if the element is not a bound element or has none of its bindings have implementations.
XBLImplementation	item(int index) The item(n) method must return the nth implementation object associated with the bound element.

Method Detail

item

public XBLImplementation item(int index)

The item(n) method must return the nth implementation object associated with the bound element. If the index is not a number between zero and length-1 (inclusive), then the method must raise an INDEX_SIZE_ERR DOM exception.

Returns:

implementation object in the list defined by parameter index

getLength

public int getLength()

The length attribute must return the number of implementation objects associated with the bound element, or zero if the element is not a bound element or has none of its bindings have implementations.

Returns:

Number of implementation objects associated with the bound element.
