Method Detail

configureConditions

protected void configureConditions(Element dataTypeElement,
                                   String id)

Configures the conditions of a datatype definition, using data from a DOM element

addCondition

protected boolean addCondition(Element childElement)

Uses one subelement of a datatype xml configuration element and interpret it. Possibly this method is a good candidate to override.

Returns:

whether successfully read the element.

addProcessor

protected void addProcessor(int action,
                            Element processorElement)

addCommitProcessor

protected void addCommitProcessor(Element processorElement)

setRestrictionData

protected void setRestrictionData(DataType.Restriction restriction,
                                  Element element)

addEnumeration

protected void addEnumeration(Element enumerationElement)

Used the enumeration element.

setProperty

protected boolean setProperty(Element element)

addLengthDataCondition

protected boolean addLengthDataCondition(Element conditionElement)

Considers length related condition elements ('minLength', 'maxLength' , 'length')

Returns:

true if element was used

addPasswordProperty

protected boolean addPasswordProperty(Element propertyElement)

addPatternCondition

protected boolean addPatternCondition(Element conditionElement)

Considers the 'pattern' condition element.

Returns:

true if element was used

addComparableCondition

protected boolean addComparableCondition(Element conditionElement)

Considers the condition elements associated with 'Comparables' (minInclusive, maxInclusive, minExclusive, maxExclusive).

Returns:

true if element was used

toString

public String toString()
