Field Detail

m_extendsMapping

private MappingElement m_extendsMapping

Mapping extended by this mapping.

m_constructVerified

private boolean m_constructVerified

Constructability verified flag.

Constructor Detail

MappingElement

public MappingElement()

Default constructor.

Method Detail

getExtendsMapping

public MappingElement getExtendsMapping()

Get mapping extended by this one.

Returns:

mapping extended by this one

verifyConstruction

public void verifyConstruction(ValidationContext vctx)

Verify that instances of the mapped class can be constructed. This method may be called during the validate(ValidationContext) processing of other elements. If this mapping has any extensions, the check is ignored. TODO: check that at least one of the extensions can be created

Parameters:

vctx -

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 MappingElementBase

Parameters:

vctx - validation context

validateExtension

public void validateExtension(ValidationContext vctx)

Special validation method to link extension mappings to base mappings. This is called as a special step following registration, so that the normal validation pass can make use of the linkage information.

Parameters:

vctx - validation context
