      • getUnionPatterns

        public Pattern[] getUnionPatterns()
        If this pattern is a union pattern then this method should return an array of patterns which describe the union pattern, which should contain more than one pattern. Otherwise this method should return null.
        Returns:
        an array of the patterns which make up this union pattern or null if this pattern is not a union pattern
      • getMatchType

        public short getMatchType()
        Returns the type of node the pattern matches.
        Returns:
        ANY_NODE unless overridden
      • getMatchesNodeName

        public java.lang.String getMatchesNodeName()
        For patterns which only match an ATTRIBUTE_NODE or an ELEMENT_NODE then this pattern may return the name of the element or attribute it matches. This allows a more efficient rule matching algorithm to be performed, rather than a brute force approach of evaluating every pattern for a given Node.
        Returns:
        the name of the element or attribute this pattern matches or null if this pattern matches any or more than one name

        public abstract java.lang.String getText()
        Returns a textual representation of this pattern
        Returns:
