Field Detail

COMPLEX_TYPE

public static final short COMPLEX_TYPE
This constant value signifies a complex type.

SIMPLE_TYPE

public static final short SIMPLE_TYPE
This constant value signifies a simple type.
Method Detail

getTypeCategory

public short getTypeCategory()
Return whether this type definition is a simple type or complex type.

getBaseType

public XSTypeDefinition getBaseType()
{base type definition}: either a simple type definition or a complex type definition.

isFinal

public boolean isFinal(short restriction)
{final}. For complex type definition it is a subset of {extension, restriction}. For simple type definition it is a subset of {extension, list, restriction, union}.
Parameters:
restriction - Extension, restriction, list, union constants (defined in XSConstants).
Returns:
True if restriction is in the final set, otherwise false.

getFinal

public short getFinal()
For complex types the returned value is a bit combination of the subset of {DERIVATION_EXTENSION, DERIVATION_RESTRICTION} corresponding to final set of this type or DERIVATION_NONE. For simple types the returned value is a bit combination of the subset of { DERIVATION_RESTRICTION, DERIVATION_EXTENSION, DERIVATION_UNION, DERIVATION_LIST } corresponding to final set of this type or DERIVATION_NONE.

getAnonymous

public boolean getAnonymous()
Convenience. A boolean that specifies if the type definition is anonymous. Convenience attribute.

derivedFromType

public boolean derivedFromType(XSTypeDefinition ancestorType,
                               short derivationMethod)
Convenience method: check if this type is derived from the given ancestorType.
Parameters:
ancestorType - An ancestor type definition.
derivationMethod - A bit combination representing a subset of { DERIVATION_RESTRICTION, DERIVATION_EXTENSION, DERIVATION_UNION, DERIVATION_LIST }.
Returns:
Return true if this type is derived from ancestorType using only derivation methods from the derivationMethod. Return true if this type is derived from ancestorType.

derivedFrom

public boolean derivedFrom(java.lang.String namespace,
                           java.lang.String name,
                           short derivationMethod)
Convenience method: check if this type is derived from the given ancestor type.
Parameters:
namespace - An ancestor type namespace.
name - An ancestor type name.
derivationMethod - A bit combination representing a subset of { DERIVATION_RESTRICTION, DERIVATION_EXTENSION, DERIVATION_UNION, DERIVATION_LIST }.
Returns:
Return true if this type is derived from ancestorType using only derivation methods from the derivationMethod. Return true if this type is derived from ancestorType.
