Package org.eigenbase.xom

## Class MetaDef.Any

- java.lang.Object
- - org.eigenbase.xom.ElementDef
  - - org.eigenbase.xom.MetaDef.Any

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `java.io.Serializable`, `java.lang.Cloneable`, `MetaDef.Content`, `NodeDef`

Enclosing class:
  MetaDef

    public static class MetaDef.Any
    extends ElementDef
    implements MetaDef.Content

The Any content is a special marker which allows an Element to contain any type of data. The data will appear in a single array called "children". The data will contain all kinds of node (elements, comments, text) if the content model is "mixed", otherwise just elements. If an Any marker appears, no other content may appear in the element.

### Method Detail

#### getName

    public java.lang.String getName()

Description copied from interface: `NodeDef`
Returns the name of this node's tag.

Specified by:
  `getName` in interface `NodeDef`
Overrides:
  `getName` in class `ElementDef`

#### display

    public void display​(java.io.PrintWriter _out,
                        int _indent)

Description copied from interface: `NodeDef`
Outputs this node to any PrintWriter, in a formatted fashion with automatic indenting.

Specified by:
  `display` in interface `NodeDef`
Parameters:
  `_out` - the PrintWriter to which to write this NodeDef.
  `_indent` - the indentation level for the printout.

#### displayXML

    public void displayXML​(XMLOutput _out,
                           int _indent)

Description copied from interface: `NodeDef`
Outputs this element definition in XML to any XMLOutput.

Specified by:
  `displayXML` in interface `NodeDef`
Overrides:
  `displayXML` in class `ElementDef`
Parameters:
  `_out` - the XMLOutput class to display the XML

#### displayDiff

    public boolean displayDiff​(ElementDef _other,
                               java.io.PrintWriter _out,
                               int _indent)

Description copied from class: `ElementDef`
The displayDiff function compares this element definition against another, compiling a message containing all diffs. It is used internally by the equals(), diff(), and verifyEquals() functions.

Overrides:
  `displayDiff` in class `ElementDef`
Parameters:
  `_other` - the ElementDef to which to compare this element.
  `_out` - a PrintWriter to which to display any discovered differences, or null if just doing an equality check (and no diff report is needed).
  `_indent` - the current indentation level (used for nice display of diffs).
Returns:
  true if this and other match exactly, false if not.
