public abstract class TypedChoice<E extends TypedExtension> extends TypedSubtree<E>
Base class for all model classes which represent a choice in a content model. A generated class is derived for each construct like ... , (a|b|c), ... in the underlying DTD.
These classes are only required because several different Java types must be comprehended to form a single sum type. This is not supported in Java, so the subclasses of this class must be inserted into the model instance hierarchy.

  • Constructor Details

    • TypedChoice

      protected TypedChoice(int altIndex)
      Create an instance of a subclass and set its "case identifying" index. ATTENTION, this index is ZERO-BASED, but on the level of the visible names of the generated methods, etc., the alternatives are ONE-BASED!
