Constructor Detail

ExternalObjectType

public ExternalObjectType(Class javaClass)

Create an anonymous external object type. When constructed this way, the type will not have a nameCode or fingerprint in the name pool, so methods asking for the name of the type will return no value.

Parameters:

javaClass - the Java class to which this type corresponds

ExternalObjectType

public ExternalObjectType(Class javaClass,
                          Configuration config)

Create an external object type. When constructed this way, the type will have a fingerprint in the name pool based on the Java class name

Parameters:

javaClass - the Java class to which this type corresponds

config - the Saxon configuration

Method Detail

getName

public String getName()

Get the local name of this type

Specified by:

getName in interface SchemaType

Returns:

the local name of this type definition, if it has one. Return null in the case of an anonymous type.

getTargetNamespace

public String getTargetNamespace()

Get the target namespace of this type

Specified by:

getTargetNamespace in interface SchemaType

Returns:

the target namespace of this type definition, if it has one. Return null in the case of an anonymous type, and in the case of a global type defined in a no-namespace schema.

isExternalType

public boolean isExternalType()

Return true if this is an external object type, that is, a Saxon-defined type for external Java or .NET objects

Specified by:

isExternalType in interface SimpleType

Returns:

true if this is an external type

isBuiltInType

public boolean isBuiltInType()

Determine whether this is a built-in type or a user-defined type

Specified by:

isBuiltInType in interface AtomicType

Specified by:

Get the name of this type as a StructuredQName, unless the type is anonymous, in which case return null

Specified by:

getTypeName in interface AtomicType

Returns:

the name of the atomic type, or null if the type is anonymous.

getRedefinitionLevel

public int getRedefinitionLevel()

Get the redefinition level. This is zero for a component that has not been redefined; for a redefinition of a level-0 component, it is 1; for a redefinition of a level-N component, it is N+1. This concept is used to support the notion of "pervasive" redefinition: if a component is redefined at several levels, the top level wins, but it is an error to have two versions of the component at the same redefinition level.

Specified by:

Returns:

the redefinition level

isAbstract

public boolean isAbstract()

Determine whether the type is abstract, that is, whether it cannot have instances that are not also instances of some concrete subtype

Specified by:

isAbstract in interface AtomicType

Returns:

false - external types are not abstract

isPrimitiveType

public boolean isPrimitiveType()

Determine whether the atomic type is a primitive type. The primitive types are the 19 primitive types of XML Schema, plus xs:integer, xs:dayTimeDuration and xs:yearMonthDuration; xs:untypedAtomic; and all supertypes of these (xs:anyAtomicType, xs:numeric, ...)

Test whether this SchemaType is a complex type

Specified by:

isComplexType in interface SchemaType

true if this SchemaType is a complex type

getBaseType

Ask whether this type is an ID type. This is defined to be any simple type who typed value may contain atomic values of type xs:ID: that is, it includes types derived from ID by restriction, list, or union.

Test whether a given item conforms to this type

Specified by:

allowURIPromotion -

config -

Returns:

true if the item is an instance of this type; false otherwise

Check whether a given input string is valid according to this SimpleType

Specified by:

validateContent in interface SimpleType

Parameters:

value - the input string to be checked

nsResolver - a namespace resolver used to resolve namespace prefixes if the type is namespace sensitive. The value supplied may be null; in this case any namespace-sensitive content will throw an UnsupportedOperationException.

nameChecker - used to check names against XML 1.0 or XML 1.1 syntax rules

getSuperType

public ItemType getSuperType(TypeHierarchy th)

Description copied from interface: ItemType

Get the type from which this item type is derived by restriction. This is the supertype in the XPath type heirarchy, as distinct from the Schema base type: this means that the supertype of xs:boolean is xs:anyAtomicType, whose supertype is item() (rather than xs:anySimpleType).

In fact the concept of "supertype" is not really well-defined, because the types form a lattice rather than a hierarchy. The only real requirement on this function is that it returns a type that strictly subsumes this type, ideally as narrowly as possible.

Returns:

the supertype, or null if this type is item()

getDisplayName

public String getDisplayName()

Specified by:

getDisplayName in interface SchemaType

Returns:

a lexical QName identifying the type

hashCode

Returns a hash code value for the object.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Test whether two ExternalObjectType objects represent the same type

Overrides:

equals in class Object

                         throws ValidationException
