Interface SchemaDeclaration

All Known Implementing Classes:

AttributeDecl, ElementDecl

public interface SchemaDeclaration

This is a marker interface that acts as a surrogate for an object representing a global element or attribute declaration. The real implementation of these declarations is available in the schema-aware version of the Saxon product.

Method Summary

SchemaType	getType() Get the simple or complex type associated with the element or attribute declaration
boolean	isAbstract() Determine, in the case of an Element Declaration, whether the declaration is abstract
boolean	isNillable() Determine, in the case of an Element Declaration, whether it is nillable.
NodeTest	makeSchemaNodeTest() Create a NodeTest that implements the semantics of schema-element(name) or schema-attribute(name) applied to this element or attribute declaration.

Method Detail

getType

SchemaType getType()

Get the simple or complex type associated with the element or attribute declaration

Returns:

the simple or complex type

makeSchemaNodeTest

NodeTest makeSchemaNodeTest()

Create a NodeTest that implements the semantics of schema-element(name) or schema-attribute(name) applied to this element or attribute declaration.

isNillable

boolean isNillable()

Determine, in the case of an Element Declaration, whether it is nillable.

isAbstract

boolean isAbstract()

Determine, in the case of an Element Declaration, whether the declaration is abstract
