String with in-scope namespace binding information.

In a general case, text (PCDATA/attributes) that appear in XML schema cannot be correctly interpreted unless you also have in-scope namespace binding (a case in point is QName.) Therefore, it's convenient to handle the lexical representation and the in-scope namespace binding in a pair.

Method Detail

resolvePrefixback to summary
public String resolvePrefix(String prefix)

Resolves a namespace prefix to the corresponding namespace URI. This method is used for resolving prefixes in the value (such as when value represents a QName type.)

If the prefix is "" (empty string), the method returns the default namespace URI.

If the prefix is "xml", then the method returns "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace", as defined in the XML Namespaces Recommendation.

Returns:String

namespace URI of this prefix. If the specified prefix is not declared, the implementation returns null.

toStringback to summary
public String toString()

Overrides java.lang.Object.toString.

Doc from java.lang.Object.toString.

Returns a string representation of the object. Satisfying this method's contract implies a non-null result must be returned.
