Field Detail

UNBOUNDED

public static int UNBOUNDED

A constant to represent an UNBOUNDED particle

AbstractParticle

protected AbstractParticle()

Default Constructor, uses a default minimum occurrence of 1, and a default unbounded maximum occurrence

AbstractParticle

protected AbstractParticle(int minOccurs,
                           int maxOccurs)

Constructor for Particle which allows setting the values for maximum and minimum occurrences

Parameters:

minOccurs - the minimum number of occurrences

maxOccurs - the maximum number of occurrences ( -1 for unbounded)

getMaxOccurs

public final int getMaxOccurs()

Returns the maximum number of occurrences that this Particle may appear in the containing content model

Specified by:

getMaxOccurs in interface Particle

Returns:

the maximum number of occurrences that this Particle may appear. A negative (n < 0) value indicates that the value is unspecified (ie. unbounded).

getMinOccurs

public final int getMinOccurs()

Returns the minimum number of occurrences that this Particle must appear in the containing content model

Specified by:

getMinOccurs in interface Particle

Returns:

the minimum number of occurrences that this Particle must appear A negative (n < 0) value indicates that the value is unspecified.

getTerm

public Term getTerm()

Get the term corresponding to this particle

Specified by:

getTerm in interface Particle

Returns:

the corresponding term

setMaxOccurs

public final void setMaxOccurs(int maxOccurs)

Sets the maximum number of occurrences for this Particle within the containing content model

Parameters:

maxOccurs - the maximum number of occurrences for this Particle, or -1 to indicate that the maximum is unbounded

setMinOccurs

public final void setMinOccurs(int minOccurs)

Sets the minimum number of occurrences for this Particle within the containing content model

Parameters:

minOccurs - the minimum number of occurrences for this Particle
