container - not used
Returns:
true if the particle is pointless (which effectively means it can't match anything)

markVulnerableSubParticles

public void markVulnerableSubParticles(boolean isRepeatable)
Mark contained particles as vulnerable. A particle is marked as vulnerable if everything both before and after it in the content model is optional.

Overrides:
markVulnerableSubParticles in class ModelGroup
Parameters:
isRepeatable -

validate

public boolean validate(SchemaCompiler compiler)
                 throws SchemaException
Checks the validity of this Compositor definition.

Specified by:
validate in interface UserSchemaComponent
Overrides:

true when this Schema definition is valid, otherwise false.
Throws:
SchemaException - when the error listener decides an error is fatal
