    Parameters:
    
    parent - containing binding definition context
    
    objc - current object context
    
    ord - ordered content flag
    
    choice - choice content flag
    
    flex - flexible element handling flag
    
    ctx - define context for structure flag
    
    hasobj - has associated object flag
    
    dupl - allow duplicates in unordered group flag
- Method Detail
  - setObjectContext
```
public void setObjectContext(IContextObj objc)
```
    Set the object context.
    
    Overrides:
    
    setObjectContext in class NestedBase
    
    Parameters:
    
    objc - object context
  - isMappingReference
```
public boolean isMappingReference()
```
    Check if the structure is just a mapping reference. This is used to short-circuit the code generation to avoid multiple layers of binding methods. As written, the result is only valid prior to a call to setLinkages().
    
    Returns:
    
    true if a mapping reference, false if not
  - genNewInstance
```
public void genNewInstance(ContextMethodBuilder mb)
```
    Description copied from interface: IComponent
    
    Generate code to create new instance of object. This is called within the code generation for the unmarshaller of the class associated with the containing element. It needs to generate the necessary code for creating an instance of the object to be unmarshalled, leaving the object reference on the stack.
    
    Parameters:
    
    mb - method builder
  - hasAttribute
```
public boolean hasAttribute()
```
    Description copied from interface: IComponent
    
    Check if component defines one or more attribute values of the containing element.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if one or more attribute values defined for containing element, false if not
  - genAttrPresentTest
```
public void genAttrPresentTest(ContextMethodBuilder mb)
                        throws JiBXException
```
    Description copied from interface: IComponent
    
    Generate code to test for attribute present. This generates code that tests if a child is present as determined by attributes of the containing start tag. It leaves the result of the test (zero if missing, nonzero if present) on the stack. This call is only valid if this component has one or more attributes for the containing element.
    
    Parameters:
    
    mb - method builder
    
    Throws:
    
    JiBXException - if configuration error
  - genAttributeUnmarshal
```
public void genAttributeUnmarshal(ContextMethodBuilder mb)
                           throws JiBXException
```
    Description copied from interface: IComponent
    
    Generate attribute unmarshalling code. This is called within the code generation for the unmarshaller of the class associated with the containing element. It needs to generate the necessary code for handling the unmarshalling operation, leaving the unmarshalled object reference on the stack.
    
    Parameters:
    
    mb - method builder
    
    Throws:
    
    JiBXException - if error in configuration
  - genAttributeMarshal
```
public void genAttributeMarshal(ContextMethodBuilder mb)
                         throws JiBXException
```
    Description copied from interface: IComponent
    
    Generate attribute marshalling code. This is called within the code generation for the marshaller of the class associated with the containing element. It needs to generate the necessary code for handling the marshalling operation, consuming the marshalled object reference from the stack.
    
    Parameters:
    
    mb - method builder
    
    Throws:
    
    JiBXException - if error in configuration
  - hasContent
```
public boolean hasContent()
```
    Description copied from interface: IComponent
    
    Check if component defines one or more elements or text values as children of the containing element. This method is only valid after the call to ILinkable.setLinkages().
    
    Specified by:
    
    hasContent in interface IComponent
    
    Overrides:
    
    hasContent in class NestedBase
    
    Returns:
    
    true if one or more content values defined for containing element, false if not
  - genContentUnmarshal
```
public void genContentUnmarshal(ContextMethodBuilder mb)
                         throws JiBXException
```
    Description copied from interface: IComponent
    
    Generate element or text unmarshalling code. This is called within the code generation for the unmarshaller of the class associated with the containing element. It needs to generate the necessary code for handling the unmarshalling operation, leaving the unmarshalled object reference on the stack.
    
    Parameters:
    
    mb - method builder
    
    Throws:
    
    JiBXException - if error in configuration
  - genFlagTest
```
private void genFlagTest(boolean cond,
                         int pos,
                         java.lang.String msg,
                         NameDefinition name,
                         ContextMethodBuilder mb)
```
    Helper method to generate test code for value in boolean array. If the test fails, the generated code throws an exception with the appropriate error message.
    
    Parameters:
    
    cond - flag setting resulting in exception
    
    pos - position of element in list of child components
    
    msg - basic error message when test fails
    
    name -
    
    mb -
  - genContentMarshal
```
public void genContentMarshal(ContextMethodBuilder mb)
                       throws JiBXException
```
    Description copied from interface: IComponent
    
    Generate element or text marshalling code. This is called within the code generation for the marshaller of the class associated with the containing element. It needs to generate the necessary code for handling the marshalling operation, consuming the marshalled object reference from the stack.
    
    Parameters:
    
    mb - method builder
    
    Throws:
    
    JiBXException - if error in configuration
  - getType
```
public java.lang.String getType()
```
    Description copied from interface: IComponent
    
    Get type expected by component.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getType in interface IComponent
    
    Overrides:
    
    getType in class NestedBase
    
    Returns:
    
    fully qualified class name of expected type
  - hasId
```
public boolean hasId()
```
    Description copied from interface: IComponent
    
    Check if component defines an ID value for instances of context object.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if ID value defined for instances, false if not
  - genLoadId
```
public void genLoadId(ContextMethodBuilder mb)
               throws JiBXException
```
    Description copied from interface: IComponent
    
    Generate code to load ID value of instance to stack. The generated code should assume that the top of the stack is the reference for the containing object. It must consume this and leave the actual ID value on the stack (as a String).
    
    Parameters:
    
    mb - method builder
    
    Throws:
    
    JiBXException - if configuration error
  - setLinkages
```
public void setLinkages()
                 throws JiBXException
```
    Description copied from interface: ILinkable
    
    Establish and validate linkages between binding components. This is called after the basic binding structures have been set up. All linkages between components must be resolved by this method, in order to prevent problems due to the order of definitions between components. This implies that each component must in turn call the same method for each child component. None of the other method calls defined by this interface are valid until after this call.
    
    Throws:
    
    JiBXException - if error in configuration
  - print
```
public void print(int depth)
```
