MixedContentModel is a derivative of the abstract content model base class that handles the special case of mixed model elements. If an element is mixed model, it has PCDATA as its first possible content, followed by an alternation of the possible children. The children cannot have any numeration or order, so it must look like this:
  <!ELEMENT Foo ((#PCDATA|a|b|c|)*)>
So, all we have to do is to keep an array of the possible children and validate by just looking up each child being validated by looking it up in the list.

The start offset position in the children.

length:int

ordered:boolean

True if content must be ordered.

Method Detail

public int validate(QName[] children, int offset, int length)

Implements com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.dtd.models.ContentModelValidator.validate.

Check that the specified content is valid according to this content model. This method can also be called to do 'what if' testing of content models just to see if they would be valid.

A value of -1 in the children array indicates a PCDATA node. All other indexes will be positive and represent child elements. The count can be zero, since some elements have the EMPTY content model and that must be confirmed.

Parameters
children:QName[]

The children of this element. Each integer is an index within the StringPool of the child element name. An index of -1 is used to indicate an occurrence of non-whitespace character data.

offset:int

Offset into the array where the children starts.

length:int

The number of entries in the children array.

Returns:int

The value -1 if fully valid, else the 0 based index of the child that first failed. If the value returned is equal to the number of children, then the specified children are valid but additional content is required to reach a valid ending state.
