But the test inside the loop is not necessary, since it will
automatically be performed at the end of the loop (more precisely:
before starting the next iteration). If ancestor is a Flow, then
ancestor is not a Wrapper, then the while loop will stop there. So the
following should be enough:
while (ancestor instanceof Wrapper) {
ancestor = ancestor.getParent();
}
// Once we get here we have !(ancestor instanceof Wrapper)
Raaah!! My table is glass, so I think I'll skip the head-banging part
for now... ;-)
You're right. I'll correct it.
Options:
* increase the general visibility to public (not sure why this
would be
desirable; unless there's any other compelling reasons to do so, I'd
rather not...)
Yeah, we’re hitting a limitation of Java here. Basically we’re missing
a keyword allowing classes of a sub-package to access the method.
Making
it public with a proper comment is still the less ugly way to do in my
opinion.
I'll go for this one, then. Although it struck me that there is
something awkward about the validateChildNode() method.
The question that triggered this: What if I wanted to implement an
extension element that is a valid child to an fo:wrapper?
IIC, I would need to alter the hardcoded validateChildNode() in
Wrapper.java to get FOP to not throw a ValidationException...
Maybe we need different validateChildFONode() and
validateChildExtensionNode() methods.
The first can be completely hardcoded for all I care (only changes
when the recommendation changes), while the second one uses a sort of
Map that can be extended by the users.
