Method Detail

startContentModel

int[] startContentModel()
This methods to be called on entering a first element whose type has this content model. It will return the initial state of the content model

Returns:
Start state of the content model

oneTransition

java.lang.Object oneTransition(QName elementName,
                               int[] state,
                               SubstitutionGroupHandler subGroupHandler)
The method corresponds to one transaction in the content model.

Parameters:
elementName -
state - Current state
Returns:
element decl or wildcard decl that corresponds to the element from the Schema grammar

endContentModel

boolean endContentModel(int[] state)
The method indicates the end of list of children

Parameters:
state - Current state of the content model
Returns:
true if the last state was a valid final state

checkUniqueParticleAttribution

boolean checkUniqueParticleAttribution(SubstitutionGroupHandler subGroupHandler)
                                       throws XMLSchemaException
check whether this content violates UPA constraint.

Parameters:
subGroupHandler - the substitution group handler
Returns:
true if this content model contains other or list wildcard
Throws:
XMLSchemaException

whatCanGoHere

java.util.Vector whatCanGoHere(int[] state)
Check which elements are valid to appear at this point. This method also works if the state is in error, in which case it returns what should have been seen.

Parameters:
state - the current state
Returns:
a Vector whose entries are instances of either XSWildcardDecl or XSElementDecl.

isCompactedForUPA

boolean isCompactedForUPA()
Checks if this content model has had its min/maxOccurs values reduced for purposes of speeding up UPA. If so, this content model should not be used for any purpose other than checking unique particle attribution

Returns:
a boolean that says whether this content has been compacted for UPA
