customXmlPrefixMappingsObj.getPrefixAsync(ns [, options], callback);
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description | Support notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| ns | string | Specifies the namespace to get the prefix for. Required. | |
| options | object | Specifies any of the following optional parameters | |
| asyncContext | array, boolean, null, number, object, string, or undefined | A user-defined item of any type that is returned in the AsyncResult object without being altered. | |
| callback | object | A function that is invoked when the callback returns, whose only parameter is of type AsyncResult. |
Callback Value
When the function you passed to the callback parameter executes, it receives an AsyncResult object that you can access from the callback function's only parameter.
In the callback function passed to the getPrefixAsync method, you can use the properties of the AsyncResult object to return the following information.
| Property | Use to... |
|---|---|
| AsyncResult.value | Access to a string that contains the prefix of the specified namespace. |
| AsyncResult.status | Determine the success or failure of the operation. |
| AsyncResult.error | Access an Error object that provides error information if the operation failed. |
| AsyncResult.asyncContext | Access your user-defined object or value, if you passed one as the asyncContext parameter. |
Remarks
If no prefix is assigned to the requested namespace, the method returns an empty string (""). If there are multiple prefixes specified in the namespace manager, the method returns the first prefix that matches the supplied namespace.
