http://xml.apache.org/commons/components/external/: xml-commons provides an Apache-hosted set of DOM, SAX, and JAXP interfaces for use in other xml-based projects. Our hope is that we can standardize on both a common version and packaging scheme for these critical XML standards interfaces to make the lives of both our developers and users easier. The External Components portion of xml-commons contains interfaces that are defined by external standards organizations. For DOM, that's the W3C; for SAX it's David Megginson and sax.sourceforge.net; for JAXP it's Sun.

The initUIEvent method is used to initialize the value of 
a UIEvent created through the DocumentEvent 
interface. This method may only be called before the 
UIEvent has been dispatched via the 
dispatchEvent method, though it may be called multiple 
times during that phase if necessary. If called multiple times, the 
final invocation takes precedence.

Params:
  • typeArg – Specifies the event type.
  • canBubbleArg – Specifies whether or not the event can bubble.
  • cancelableArg – Specifies whether or not the event's default 
  action can be prevented.
  • viewArg – Specifies the Event's 
  AbstractView.
  • detailArg – Specifies the Event's detail.
