Field Detail

CONTENTTYPE_EMPTY

static final short CONTENTTYPE_EMPTY

Represents an empty content type. A content type with the distinguished value empty validates elements with no character or element information item children.

Constant Field Values

CONTENTTYPE_SIMPLE

static final short CONTENTTYPE_SIMPLE

Represents a simple content type. A content type which is simple validates elements with character-only children.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

CONTENTTYPE_ELEMENT

static final short CONTENTTYPE_ELEMENT

Represents an element-only content type. An element-only content type validates elements with children that conform to the supplied content model.

Constant Field Values

CONTENTTYPE_MIXED

static final short CONTENTTYPE_MIXED

Represents a mixed content type.

Method Detail

getDerivationMethod

short getDerivationMethod()

[derivation method]: either DERIVATION_EXTENSION, DERIVATION_RESTRICTION, or DERIVATION_NONE (see XSConstants).

getAbstract

boolean getAbstract()

[abstract]: a boolean. Complex types for which abstract is true must not be used as the type definition for the validation of element information items.

getAttributeUses

XSObjectList getAttributeUses()

A set of attribute uses if it exists, otherwise an empty XSObjectList.

getAttributeWildcard

XSWildcard getAttributeWildcard()

An attribute wildcard if it exists, otherwise null.

getContentType

short getContentType()

[content type]: one of empty (CONTENTTYPE_EMPTY), a simple type definition (CONTENTTYPE_SIMPLE), mixed ( CONTENTTYPE_MIXED), or element-only ( CONTENTTYPE_ELEMENT).

getSimpleType

XSSimpleTypeDefinition getSimpleType()

A simple type definition corresponding to a simple content model, otherwise null.

getParticle

XSParticle getParticle()

A particle for a mixed or element-only content model, otherwise null.

isProhibitedSubstitution

boolean isProhibitedSubstitution(short restriction)

[prohibited substitutions]: a subset of {extension, restriction}

Parameters:

restriction - Extension or restriction constants (see XSConstants).

Returns:

True if restriction is a prohibited substitution, otherwise false.

getProhibitedSubstitutions

short getProhibitedSubstitutions()

[prohibited substitutions]: A subset of {extension, restriction} or DERIVATION_NONE represented as a bit flag (see XSConstants).

getAnnotations

XSObjectList getAnnotations()

A sequence of [annotations] or an empty XSObjectList.
