All Implemented Interfaces:

public class XSElementBinding
extends AbstractComplexBinding

Binding object for the type http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema:element.

      <xs:annotation>
          <xs:documentation>    The element element can be used either
              at the top level to define an element-type binding globally,
              or within a content model to either reference a
              globally-defined    element or type or declare an
              element-type binding locally.    The ref form is not allowed
              at the top level.</xs:documentation>

Method Detail

getTarget

public QName getTarget()

Returns:

The qualified name of the target for the binding.

getExecutionMode

public int getExecutionMode()

Specified by:

getExecutionMode in interface Binding

Overrides:

getExecutionMode in class AbstractComplexBinding

Returns:

The execution mode of the binding, one of the constants AFTER, BEFORE, or OVERRIDE.

See Also:

Binding.AFTER, Binding.BEFORE, Binding.OVERRIDE

getType

public Class getType()

Returns:

The java type this binding maps to.

initialize

public void initialize(ElementInstance instance,
                       Node node,
                       MutablePicoContainer context)

Specified by:

initialize in interface ComplexBinding

Overrides:

initialize in class AbstractComplexBinding

Parameters:

instance - The element being parsed.

node - The node in the parse tree representing the element being parsed. It is important to note that at the time this method is called the node contains no child element nodes, only child attribute nodes.

context - The container to be used as context for child binding.

parse

public Object parse(ElementInstance instance,
                    Node node,
                    Object value)
             throws Exception

Specified by:

parse in interface ComplexBinding

Overrides:

parse in class AbstractComplexBinding

Parameters:

instance - The element being parsed.

node - The node in the parse tree representing the element being parsed.

value - The result of the parse from another strategy in the type hierarchy. Could be null if this is the first strategy being executed.

Returns:

The parsed object, or null if the component could not be parsed.

Throws:

Exception - Strategy objects should not attempt to handle any exceptions.
