Enclosing class:
MetaDef

public static class MetaDef.Element extends ElementDef implements MetaDef.FullDefinition
An Element Definition defines a basic entity of the meta model. Elements are containers for two types of data: attributes and content. Attributes are simple name/value pairs which may take on the full range of Java types. Content consists of other Elements and Strings, either appearing alone or as arrays.

    • doc

      public 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 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.

    • getName

      public 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(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, 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.
