public class SOMSequence

extends SOMGroupType

<sequence> The grouping construct for schema components. The XML representation for a model group schema component is either an <all>, a <choice> or a <sequence> element information item. The all component specifies that all children must be present to be valid, and the order of those elements is significant.

Constructor Detail

SOMSequence

public SOMSequence()

SOMSequence

protected SOMSequence(org.xml.sax.Attributes attrs,
                      SOMObject parent)

constructor for use with SAX parser, loading SOM from a file.

Parameters:

attrs -

Method Detail

getID

public java.lang.String getID()

Overrides:

getID in class SOMObject

add

public SOMAll add(SOMAll p_all)

An <any> is an illegal child element for <sequence>. This method ALWAYS throws an IllegalArgumentException.

Parameters:

p_any - not applicable

Returns:

not applicable

Overrides:

add in class SOMGroupType

addComplexType

public SOMComplexType addComplexType(java.lang.String name)

add a new complexType. This utility method adds a new complexType to this sequence by adding a new element to this sequence and creating a new complexType as the element's type. The newly created complexType is returned. To get access to the element, use the getParent() method of the returned complexType.

Parameters:

name - the name of the new <element>

Returns:

the new <complexType>

createDefault

public void createDefault(DefaultDocumentOptions options,
                          org.w3c.dom.Element current)

Overrides:

createDefault in class SOMGroupType

validate

protected org.w3c.dom.Node validate(org.w3c.dom.Node childNode,
                                    java.util.List errorList)
                             throws SOMValidationException

validate the sequence. This method expects to start at the org.w3c.dom.Node that starts the sequence of elements in the SOMSequence.

Parameters:

childNode - The first Node of the sequence

errorList - a list in which to insert errors found by this method

Returns:

the Node to start next group type, or null if this sequence is not the child of another group type

Throws:

SOMValidationException - if the sequence was not found at the org.w3c.dom.Node

Overrides:

validate in class SOMGroupType

startsWith

protected boolean startsWith(org.w3c.dom.Node element)

Overrides:

startsWith in class SOMGroupType
