Method Detail

getLabel

public String getLabel()

Get format label.

Returns:

format label (null if none)

setLabel

public void setLabel(String label)

Set format label. This method changes the qualified name to match the label.

Parameters:

label - format label (null if none)

getQName

public QName getQName()

Get format qualified name.

Parameters:

qname - format qualified name (null if none)

isDefaultFormat

public boolean isDefaultFormat()

Check if default format for type.

Returns:

true if default for type, false if not

setDefaultFormat

public void setDefaultFormat(boolean dflt)

Set default format for type.

Parameters:

dflt - true if default for type, false if not

getType

public IClass getType()

Get value type. This method is only usable after a call to validate(org.jibx.binding.model.ValidationContext).

Returns:

default value object

getTypeName

public String getTypeName()

Get value type name.

Returns:

value type name

setTypeName

public void setTypeName(String value)

Set value type name.

Parameters:

value - type name

getDefaultText

public String getDefaultText()

Get default value text.

Returns:

default value text

getDefault

public Object getDefault()

Get default value. This call is only meaningful after validation.

Returns:

default value object

setDefaultText

public void setDefaultText(String value)

Set default value text.

Parameters:

value - default value text

getEnumValue

public IClassItem getEnumValue()

Get enum value method information. This method is only usable after a call to validate(ValidationContext).

Returns:

enum value method information (or null if none)

getEnumValueName

public String getEnumValueName()

Get enum value method name.

Returns:

enum value method name (or null if none)

setEnumValueName

public void setEnumValueName(String name)

Set enum value method name.

Parameters:

name - enum value method name (null if none)

getSerializerName

public String getSerializerName()

Get serializer name.

Returns:

fully qualified class and method name for serializer (or null if none)

getSerializer

public IClassItem getSerializer()

Get serializer method information. This call is only meaningful after validation.

Returns:

serializer information (or null if none)

setSerializerName

public void setSerializerName(String name)

Set serializer method name.

Parameters:

name - fully qualified class and method name for serializer

getDeserializerName

public String getDeserializerName()

Get deserializer name.

Returns:

fully qualified class and method name for deserializer (or null if none)

getDeserializer

public IClassItem getDeserializer()

Get deserializer method information. This call is only meaningful after validation.

Returns:

deserializer information (or null if none)

setDeserializerName

public void setDeserializerName(String name)

Set deserializer method name.

Parameters:

name - fully qualified class and method name for deserializer

getBaseFormat

public FormatElement getBaseFormat()

Get base format information. This method is only usable after a call to validate(org.jibx.binding.model.ValidationContext).

Returns:

base format element (or null if none)

prevalidate

public void prevalidate(ValidationContext vctx)

Prevalidate attributes of element in isolation. Note that this adds the format information to the context, which is necessary because the string attributes for values need to have access to the format information for their own prevalidation. This is the only type of registration which is done during the prevalidation pass.

Overrides:

prevalidate in class ElementBase

Parameters:

vctx - validation context

validate

public void validate(ValidationContext vctx)

Description copied from class: ElementBase

Validate element information. The validation step is used for checking the interactions between elements, such as name references to other elements. The ElementBase.prevalidate(org.jibx.binding.model.ValidationContext) method will always be called for every element in the binding definition before this method is called for any element. This empty base class implementation should be overridden by each subclass that requires validation handling.

Overrides:

validate in class ElementBase

Parameters:

vctx - validation context
