Field Detail

CONTENTTYPE_EMPTY

public 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.

CONTENTTYPE_SIMPLE

public static final short CONTENTTYPE_SIMPLE

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

CONTENTTYPE_ELEMENT

public 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.

CONTENTTYPE_MIXED

public static final short CONTENTTYPE_MIXED

Represents a mixed content type.

Method Detail

getDerivationMethod

public short getDerivationMethod()

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

getAbstract

public 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

public XSObjectList getAttributeUses()

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

getAttributeWildcard

public XSWildcard getAttributeWildcard()

An attribute wildcard if it exists, otherwise null.

getContentType

public short getContentType()

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

getSimpleType

public XSSimpleTypeDefinition getSimpleType()

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

getParticle

public XSParticle getParticle()

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

isProhibitedSubstitution

public 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

public short getProhibitedSubstitutions()

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

getAnnotations

public XSObjectList getAnnotations()

A set of [annotations] if it exists, otherwise an empty XSObjectList.
