Enclosing class:

MetaDef

public static class MetaDef.Class
extends ElementDef
implements MetaDef.FullDefinition

A Class Definition defines a class of entities. A class specifies a group of entities with similar properties. Full inheritence is supported, although there are limits on what can be overridden.

Field Detail

_contentModel_values

public static final java.lang.String[] _contentModel_values

Allowable values for contentModel.

contentModel

public java.lang.String contentModel

keepDef

public java.lang.Boolean keepDef

_class

public java.lang.String _class

superclass

public java.lang.String superclass

_def

public DOMWrapper _def

doc

public java.lang.String doc

Doc tags allow documentation to be added to any definition. The documentation will automatically appear in all physical forms of this model, including dtds, java classes, and the xsl transformation.

attributes

public MetaDef.Attribute[] attributes

This array defines all attributes to appear within this class or element.

content

public MetaDef.Content[] content

This array defines all content (objects and arrays) to appear within this class or element. The interpretation of this array depends on the element's defined content model.

any

public MetaDef.Any any

cdata

public MetaDef.CData cdata

code

public java.lang.String code

This element allows arbitrary Java Code to be attached to any class or element. Code sections are not verified until the final .java class is compiled and should be used sparingly.

Method Detail

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Description copied from interface: NodeDef

Returns the name of this node's tag.

Specified by:

getName in interface NodeDef

Overrides:

getName in class ElementDef

display

public void display(java.io.PrintWriter _out,
                    int _indent)

Description copied from interface: NodeDef

Outputs this node to any PrintWriter, in a formatted fashion with automatic indenting.

Specified by:

display in interface NodeDef

Parameters:

_out - the PrintWriter to which to write this NodeDef.

_indent - the indentation level for the printout.

displayXML

public void displayXML(XMLOutput _out,
                       int _indent)

Description copied from interface: NodeDef

Outputs this element definition in XML to any XMLOutput.

Specified by:

displayXML in interface NodeDef

Overrides:

displayXML in class ElementDef

Parameters:

_out - the XMLOutput class to display the XML

displayDiff

public boolean displayDiff(ElementDef _other,
                           java.io.PrintWriter _out,
                           int _indent)

Description copied from class: ElementDef

The displayDiff function compares this element definition against another, compiling a message containing all diffs. It is used internally by the equals(), diff(), and verifyEquals() functions.

Overrides:

displayDiff in class ElementDef

Parameters:

_other - the ElementDef to which to compare this element.

_out - a PrintWriter to which to display any discovered differences, or null if just doing an equality check (and no diff report is needed).

_indent - the current indentation level (used for nice display of diffs).

Returns:

true if this and other match exactly, false if not.
