Class AutomatonState

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    State
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    DeterminizedState, NonDeterminizedState

    public abstract class AutomatonState
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements State
    Defines a state of a finite state machine used when validating an instance against a complex type. Each State knows about the possible transitions to other states, and knows whether it is a final state. The initial state is referenced from the FiniteStateMachine object, which is itself a property of the UserComplexType against which validation is being performed.

    This class is designed for internal use only.

        compiler - the schema compiler
        transition - the edge representing the transition
        Throws:
        SchemaException - if the transition cannot be added because it would generate an inconsistency
      • setLimits

        Ask whether this is a counting state
        Returns:
        true if this state requires a counter to be maintained

        type - the complex type we are validating against
        Returns:
        the Edge representing the selected transition of the finite state machine, or null if this token is not accepted when in this State (which implies a validation error).
