## com.saxonica.schema.fsa
Class AutomatonState

    java.lang.Object
      com.saxonica.schema.fsa.AutomatonState

All Implemented Interfaces:
  State, Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:
  DeterminizedState, NonDeterminizedState

    public abstract class AutomatonState

extends Object
implements State

Defines a state of a finite state machine used when validating an instance against a complex type. Each State knows about the possible transitions to other states, and knows whether it is a final state. The initial state is referenced from the FiniteStateMachine object, which is itself a property of the UserComplexType against which validation is being performed.

This class is designed for internal use only.

  Specified by:
    `isFinalState` in interface `State`
  Returns:
    true if this is a final state

### isConditionallyFinalState

    public boolean isConditionallyFinalState()

  Test whether this state is a final state assuming the counter has reached its minimum value

  Returns:
    true if this state is a final state when the minimum number of occurrences is reached

### setFinalState

    public void setFinalState(boolean finalState)

  Set this state to be (or not to be) a final state

  Parameters:
    `finalState` - true if this state is final

### getStateNumber

    public int getStateNumber()

  Get the state number

  Returns:
    the state number

### addSpecificTransition

    public void addSpecificTransition(Edge edge,
                                      SchemaCompiler compiler)
                               throws SchemaException

  Add a specific transition from this state to another state. This transition accepts a specific element name only.

  Parameters:
    `edge` - the transition to be added
    `compiler` -
  Throws:
    `SchemaException` - if there are two transitions for the same element declaration, that is, if the content model is ambiguous

### addWildcardTransition

    public void addWildcardTransition(SchemaCompiler compiler,
                                      Edge transition)
                               throws SchemaException

  Add a wildcard transition from this state to another state.

  Parameters:
    `compiler` -
    `transition` - the edge representing the transition
  Throws:
    `SchemaException`

### setLimits

    public void setLimits(int min,
                          int max)

  Set the counter limits

  Parameters:
    `min` - the minimum number of occurrences of counting edges before a non-counting edge is used
    `max` - the maximum number of occurrences of counting edges before a non-counting edge is used; the value -1 means unbounded

### requiresCounter

    public boolean requiresCounter()

  Ask whether this is a counting state

  Returns:
    true if this state requires a counter to be maintained

### getTransition

    public Edge getTransition(int token,
                              UserComplexType type)

  Find the edge representing the transition from this state to another state, that is triggered by a given input token

  Specified by:
    `getTransition` in interface `State`
  Parameters:
    `token` - the input token, specifically the fingerprint of an element name
    `type` - the complex type we are validating against
  Returns:
    the Edge representing the selected transition of the finite state machine, or null if this token is not accepted when in this State (which implies a validation error).

### listAllowedElements

    public CharSequence listAllowedElements()

  List the allowed elements in this state as a string, for use in error messages

  Specified by:
    `listAllowedElements` in interface `State`
  Returns:
    the list of permitted elements as a string containing comma-separated element names

### getWildcardEdges

  Specified by:
    `getWildcardEdges` in interface `State`

    `getEdges` in interface `State`
  Returns:
    an Iterator over all the edges from this state. The objects returned by this Iterator are `Edge` objects.

### display

    public void display(HashMap map)

  Display the finite state machine reachable from this state. This is a diagnostic method for internal use. Output is written to System.err. At present, wildcard transitions are not shown.

  Parameters:
    `map` - a Hashmap mapping states already processed to the integer values used to represent that state. The method should be called initially with an empty map.

### displayState

    public void displayState(PrintStream err)

  Display the finite state machine reachable from this state. This is a diagnostic method for internal use. Output is written to System.err. At present, wildcard transitions are not shown.

### displayLambdaTransitions

    public void displayLambdaTransitions()

  Display the lambda transitions available from this state

### setMaxTransition

  A counting state may have a special Edge that is used when the maxOccurs value is reached. This method sets this edge.

### getMaxTransition
