Interface XMLDTDContentModelHandler

All Known Subinterfaces:
  XMLDTDContentModelFilter

    public interface XMLDTDContentModelHandler

The DTD content model handler interface defines callback methods to report information items in DTD content models of an element declaration. Parser components interested in DTD content model information implement this interface and are registered as the DTD content model handler on the DTD content model source.

Field Detail

### SEPARATOR_CHOICE

    static final short SEPARATOR_CHOICE

  A choice separator for children and mixed content models. This separator is used to specify that the allowed child is one of a collection.

  For example:

       <!ELEMENT elem (foo|bar)>
       <!ELEMENT elem (foo|bar+)>
       <!ELEMENT elem (foo|bar|baz)>
       <!ELEMENT elem (#PCDATA|foo|bar)*>

  See Also:
    `SEPARATOR_SEQUENCE`, Constant Field Values

### SEPARATOR_SEQUENCE

    static final short SEPARATOR_SEQUENCE

  A sequence separator for children content models. This separator is used to specify that the allowed children must follow in the specified sequence.

       <!ELEMENT elem (foo,bar)>
       <!ELEMENT elem (foo,bar*)>
       <!ELEMENT elem (foo,bar,baz)>

  See Also:
    `SEPARATOR_CHOICE`, Constant Field Values

### OCCURS_ZERO_OR_ONE

    static final short OCCURS_ZERO_OR_ONE

  This occurrence count limits the element, choice, or sequence in a children content model to zero or one. In other words, the child is optional.

  For example:

       <!ELEMENT elem (foo?)>

  See Also:
    `OCCURS_ZERO_OR_MORE`, `OCCURS_ONE_OR_MORE`, Constant Field Values

### OCCURS_ZERO_OR_MORE

    static final short OCCURS_ZERO_OR_MORE

  This occurrence count limits the element, choice, or sequence in a children content model to zero or more. In other words, the child may appear an arbitrary number of times, or not at all. This occurrence count is also used for mixed content models.

  For example:

       <!ELEMENT elem (foo*)>
       <!ELEMENT elem (#PCDATA|foo|bar)*>

  See Also:
    `OCCURS_ZERO_OR_ONE`, `OCCURS_ONE_OR_MORE`, Constant Field Values

### OCCURS_ONE_OR_MORE

    static final short OCCURS_ONE_OR_MORE

  This occurrence count limits the element, choice, or sequence in a children content model to one or more. In other words, the child may appear an arbitrary number of times, but must appear at least once.

  For example:

       <!ELEMENT elem (foo+)>

  See Also:
    `OCCURS_ZERO_OR_ONE`, `OCCURS_ZERO_OR_MORE`, Constant Field Values

                           throws XNIException

  The start of a content model. Depending on the type of the content model, specific methods may be called between the call to the startContentModel method and the call to the endContentModel method.

  Parameters:
    `elementName` - The name of the element.
    `augmentations` - Additional information that may include infoset augmentations.
  Throws:
    `XNIException` - Thrown by handler to signal an error.

    void any(Augmentations augmentations)
             throws XNIException

  A content model of ANY.

  Parameters:
    `augmentations` - Additional information that may include infoset augmentations.
  Throws:
    `XNIException` - Thrown by handler to signal an error.
