Field Detail

s_allowedAttributes

public static final StringArray s_allowedAttributes

Enumeration of allowed attribute names

m_topChildren

protected ArrayList m_topChildren

List of child elements.

Constructor Detail

TemplateElementBase

public TemplateElementBase(int type)

Constructor.

Parameters:

type - element type code

Method Detail

setClassName

public void setClassName(String name)

Set mapped class name.

Parameters:

name - mapped class name

getClassName

public String getClassName()

Get mapped class name.

Returns:

class name

getHandledClass

public IClass getHandledClass()

Get handled class information. This call is only meaningful after prevalidation.

Returns:

mapped class information

addExtensionType

protected void addExtensionType(TemplateElementBase ext)

Add template or mapping which derives from this one.

Parameters:

ext - derived template or mapping information

getExtensionTypes

public ArrayList getExtensionTypes()

Get templates or mappings which derive from this one.

Returns:

list of derived templates or mappings

isDefaultTemplate

public abstract boolean isDefaultTemplate()

Check if default template for type. Needs to be implemented by subclasses for common handling.

Returns:

true if default for type, false if not

addTopChild

public void addTopChild(Object child)

Add top-level child element.

Parameters:

child - element to be added as child of this element

topChildren

public ArrayList topChildren()

Get list of top-level child elements.

Returns:

list of child elements, or null if none

topChildIterator

public Iterator topChildIterator()

Get iterator for top-level child elements.

Returns:

iterator for child elements

isOptional

public boolean isOptional()

getType

public IClass getType()

isImplicit

public boolean isImplicit()

hasObject

public boolean hasObject()

Description copied from class: ContainerElementBase

Check if this container defines a context object.

Specified by:

hasObject in class ContainerElementBase

Returns:

true if defines context object, false if not

getObjectType

public IClass getObjectType()

Description copied from class: ContainerElementBase

Get class linked to binding element. This call is only meaningful after validation.

Specified by:

getObjectType in class ContainerElementBase

Returns:

information for class linked by binding

prevalidate

public void prevalidate(ValidationContext vctx)

Description copied from class: ElementBase

Prevalidate element information. The prevalidation step is used to check isolated aspects of an element, such as the settings for enumerated values on the element and attributes. This empty base class implementation should be overridden by each subclass that requires prevalidation handling.

Overrides:

prevalidate in class ContainerElementBase

Parameters:

vctx - validation context

validate

public void validate(ValidationContext vctx)

Description copied from class: ElementBase

Validate element information. The validation step is used for checking the interactions between elements, such as name references to other elements. The ElementBase.prevalidate(org.jibx.binding.model.ValidationContext) method will always be called for every element in the binding definition before this method is called for any element. This empty base class implementation should be overridden by each subclass that requires validation handling.

Overrides:

validate in class ContainerElementBase

Parameters:

vctx - validation context
