Methods Summary
public com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.xs.identity.XPathMatcheractivateField(com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.xs.identity.Field field, int initialDepth)
Request to activate the specified field. This method returns the matcher for the field. It's also important for the implementor to ensure that it marks whether a Field is permitted to match a value--that is, to call the setMayMatch(Field, Boolean) method.

param
field The field to activate.
param
initialDepth the 0-indexed depth in the instance document at which the Selector began to match.

public voidendValueScopeFor(com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.xs.identity.IdentityConstraint identityConstraint, int initialDepth)
Ends the value scope for the specified identity constraint.

param
identityConstraint The identity constraint.
param
initialDepth the 0-indexed depth where the Selector began to match.

public java.lang.BooleanmayMatch(com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.xs.identity.Field field)
Returns whether the given field is permitted to match a value.

param
field The field that may be permitted to be matched.
return
Boolean indicating whether the field may be matched.

public voidsetMayMatch(com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.xs.identity.Field field, java.lang.Boolean state)
Sets whether the given field is permitted to match a value. This should be used to catch instance documents that try and match a field several times in the same scope.

param
field The field that may be permitted to be matched.
param
state Boolean indiciating whether the field may be matched.

public voidstartValueScopeFor(com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.xs.identity.IdentityConstraint identityConstraint, int initialDepth)
Start the value scope for the specified identity constraint. This method is called when the selector matches in order to initialize the value store.

param
identityConstraint The identity constraint.
param
initialDepth the depth at which the selector began matching
