Class XmlPrimitiveAssertion

java.lang.Object

org.apache.neethi.builders.PrimitiveAssertion

org.apache.neethi.builders.xml.XmlPrimitiveAssertion

All Implemented Interfaces:

Assertion, PolicyComponent

public class XmlPrimitiveAssertion
extends PrimitiveAssertion
implements Assertion

XmlPrimitiveAssertion wraps an Element s.t. any unknown elements can be treated an assertions if there is no AssertionBuilder that can build an assertion from that Element.

XmlPrimitiveAssertion

public XmlPrimitiveAssertion(Element element)

Constructs a XmlPrimitiveAssertion from an Element.

Parameters:

element - the Element from which the XmlAssertion is constructed

Method Detail

setValue

public void setValue(Element el)

Sets the wrapped Element.

Parameters:

el - the Element to be set as wrapped

getValue

public Element getValue()

Returns the wrapped Element.

Returns:

the wrapped Element

normalize

public PolicyComponent normalize()

Returns the partial normalized version of the wrapped Element, that is assumed to be an assertion.

Specified by:

normalize in interface Assertion

Overrides:

normalize in class PrimitiveAssertion

Returns:

the normalized policy

serialize

public void serialize(XMLStreamWriter writer)
               throws XMLStreamException

Description copied from interface: Assertion

Serialize this Assertion into its XML infoset using XMLStreamWriter.

Specified by:

serialize in interface Assertion

Specified by:

serialize in interface PolicyComponent

Overrides:

serialize in class PrimitiveAssertion

Parameters:

writer - the writer that the component should write itself

Throws:

XMLStreamException - if an errors in the process of serialization of the PolicyComponent.

getType

public final short getType()

Specified by:

getType in interface PolicyComponent

Overrides:

getType in class PrimitiveAssertion

Returns:

Constants.TYPE_POLICY for Policy type PolicyComponent Constants.TYPE_EXACTLYONE for ExactlyOne type PolicyComponent Constants.TYPE_ALL for All type PolicyComponent Constants.TYPE_ASSERTION for Assertion type PolicyComponent

equal

public boolean equal(PolicyComponent policyComponent)

Description copied from interface: PolicyComponent

Returns true if the argument is equal to self.

Specified by:

equal in interface PolicyComponent

Overrides:

equal in class PrimitiveAssertion

Parameters:

policyComponent - the PolicyComponent to check whether self is logically equal or not

Returns:

true if the argument is equal to self.
