Class ContentSpec

java.lang.Object

com.ctc.wstx.dtd.ContentSpec

Direct Known Subclasses:

ChoiceContentSpec, SeqContentSpec, TokenContentSpec

public abstract class ContentSpec
extends Object

Abstract base class for classes that contain parts of a content specification of an element defined in DTD. They are created by FullDTDReader when parsing an DTD subset, and they will be used for constructing actual validators for the element content.

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
char	getArity()
abstract StructValidator	getSimpleValidator() Method called by input element stack to get validator for this content specification, if this specification is simple enough not to need full DFA-based validator.
boolean	isLeaf()
abstract ModelNode	rewrite() Method called as the first part of DFA construction, if necessary; will usually create simpler ModelNode instances that will match definition this instance contains.
void	setArity(char c)

Method Detail

getArity

public final char getArity()

setArity

public final void setArity(char c)

isLeaf

public boolean isLeaf()

getSimpleValidator

public abstract StructValidator getSimpleValidator()

Method called by input element stack to get validator for this content specification, if this specification is simple enough not to need full DFA-based validator.

Returns:

Simple content model validator, if one can be directly constructed, or null to indicate that a DFA needs to be created.

rewrite

public abstract ModelNode rewrite()

Method called as the first part of DFA construction, if necessary; will usually create simpler ModelNode instances that will match definition this instance contains.
