Method Summary

Modifier and TypeMethod and Description
public boolean
getAbstract()

{abstract} A boolean.

public Object
getActualVC()
Deprecated Use getValueConstraintValue().getActualValue() instead

Value Constraint: Binding specific actual constraint value or null if the value is in error or there is no value constraint.

public short
getActualVCType()
Deprecated Use getValueConstraintValue().getActualValueType() instead

The actual constraint value built-in datatype, e.g. STRING_DT, SHORT_DT.

public XSAnnotation
getAnnotation()

An annotation if it exists, otherwise null.

public XSObjectList
getAnnotations()

A sequence of [annotations] or an empty XSObjectList.

public short
getConstraintType()

[Value constraint]: one of VC_NONE, VC_DEFAULT, VC_FIXED.

public String
getConstraintValue()
Deprecated Use getValueConstraintValue().getNormalizedValue() instead

[Value constraint]: the constraint value with respect to the [type definition], otherwise null.

public short
getDisallowedSubstitutions()

[disallowed substitutions]: the returned value is a bit combination of the subset of { DERIVATION_SUBSTITUTION, DERIVATION_EXTENSION, DERIVATION_RESTRICTION } corresponding to substitutions disallowed by this XSElementDeclaration or DERIVATION_NONE.

public XSComplexTypeDefinition
getEnclosingCTDefinition()

The complex type definition for locally scoped declarations (see scope), otherwise null if no such definition exists.

public XSNamedMap
getIdentityConstraints()

identity-constraint definitions: a set of constraint definitions if it exists, otherwise an empty XSNamedMap.

public ShortList
getItemValueTypes()
Deprecated Use getValueConstraintValue().getListValueTypes() instead

In the case the actual constraint value represents a list, i.e. the actualValueType is LIST_DT, the returned array consists of one type kind which represents the itemType.

public boolean
getNillable()

If nillable is true, then an element may also be valid if it carries the namespace qualified attribute with local name nil from namespace http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance and value true (xsi:nil) even if it has no text or element content despite a content type which would otherwise require content.

public short
getScope()

[scope].

public XSElementDeclaration
getSubstitutionGroupAffiliation()

[substitution group affiliation]: a top-level element definition if it exists, otherwise null.

public short
getSubstitutionGroupExclusions()

[substitution group exclusions]: the returned value is a bit combination of the subset of { DERIVATION_EXTENSION, DERIVATION_RESTRICTION} or DERIVATION_NONE.

public XSTypeDefinition
getTypeDefinition()

[type definition]: either a simple type definition or a complex type definition.

public XSValue
getValueConstraintValue()

The actual value of the default or fixed value constraint.

public boolean

Returns:

True if disallowed is a part of the substitution group exclusion subset.
isDisallowedSubstitution
(short
{ DERIVATION_SUBSTITUTION, DERIVATION_EXTENSION, DERIVATION_RESTRICTION } or DERIVATION_NONE. Represents a block set for the element.
disallowed
)

Convenience method that checks if disallowed is a disallowed substitution for this element declaration.

public boolean

Returns:

True if exclusion is a part of the substitution group exclusion subset.
isSubstitutionGroupExclusion
(short
DERIVATION_EXTENSION, DERIVATION_RESTRICTION or DERIVATION_NONE. Represents final set for the element.
exclusion
)

Convenience method that checks if exclusion is a substitution group exclusion for this element declaration.

Method Detail

getAbstractback to summary
public boolean getAbstract()

{abstract} A boolean.

getActualVCback to summary
public Object getActualVC() throws XSException

Deprecated

Use getValueConstraintValue().getActualValue() instead

Value Constraint: Binding specific actual constraint value or null if the value is in error or there is no value constraint.

Annotations
@Deprecated
Exceptions
XSException:
NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the implementation does not support this method.
getActualVCTypeback to summary
public short getActualVCType() throws XSException

Deprecated

Use getValueConstraintValue().getActualValueType() instead

The actual constraint value built-in datatype, e.g. STRING_DT, SHORT_DT. If the type definition of this value is a list type definition, this method returns LIST_DT. If the type definition of this value is a list type definition whose item type is a union type definition, this method returns LISTOFUNION_DT. To query the actual constraint value of the list or list of union type definitions use itemValueTypes. If the actualNormalizedValue is null, this method returns UNAVAILABLE_DT.

Exceptions
XSException:
NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the implementation does not support this method.
getAnnotationback to summary
public XSAnnotation getAnnotation()

An annotation if it exists, otherwise null. If not null then the first [annotation] from the sequence of annotations.

getAnnotationsback to summary
public XSObjectList getAnnotations()

A sequence of [annotations] or an empty XSObjectList.

getConstraintTypeback to summary
public short getConstraintType()

[Value constraint]: one of VC_NONE, VC_DEFAULT, VC_FIXED.

getConstraintValueback to summary
public String getConstraintValue()

Deprecated

Use getValueConstraintValue().getNormalizedValue() instead

[Value constraint]: the constraint value with respect to the [type definition], otherwise null.

Annotations

getDisallowedSubstitutionsback to summary
public short getDisallowedSubstitutions()

[disallowed substitutions]: the returned value is a bit combination of the subset of { DERIVATION_SUBSTITUTION, DERIVATION_EXTENSION, DERIVATION_RESTRICTION } corresponding to substitutions disallowed by this XSElementDeclaration or DERIVATION_NONE.

getEnclosingCTDefinitionback to summary
public XSComplexTypeDefinition getEnclosingCTDefinition()

The complex type definition for locally scoped declarations (see scope), otherwise null if no such definition exists.

getIdentityConstraintsback to summary
public XSNamedMap getIdentityConstraints()

identity-constraint definitions: a set of constraint definitions if it exists, otherwise an empty XSNamedMap.

getItemValueTypesback to summary
public ShortList getItemValueTypes() throws XSException

Deprecated

Use getValueConstraintValue().getListValueTypes() instead

In the case the actual constraint value represents a list, i.e. the actualValueType is LIST_DT, the returned array consists of one type kind which represents the itemType. If the actual constraint value represents a list type definition whose item type is a union type definition, i.e. LISTOFUNION_DT, for each actual constraint value in the list the array contains the corresponding memberType kind. For examples, see ItemPSVI.itemValueTypes.

If nillable is true, then an element may also be valid if it carries the namespace qualified attribute with local name nil from namespace http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance and value true (xsi:nil) even if it has no text or element content despite a content type which would otherwise require content.

getScopeback to summary
public short getScope()

[scope]. One of SCOPE_GLOBAL, SCOPE_LOCAL, or SCOPE_ABSENT. If the scope is local, then the enclosingCTDefinition is present.

getSubstitutionGroupAffiliationback to summary
