public interface SchemaType
extends SchemaComponent

SchemaType is an interface implemented by all schema types: simple and complex types, built-in and user-defined types.

There is a hierarchy of interfaces that extend SchemaType, representing the top levels of the schema type system: SimpleType and ComplexType, with SimpleType further subdivided into List, Union, and Atomic types.

The implementations of these interfaces are organized into a different hierarchy: on the one side, built-in types such as AnyType, AnySimpleType, and the built-in atomic types and list types; on the other side, user-defined types defined in a schema.

Field Detail

DERIVATION_RESTRICTION

static final int DERIVATION_RESTRICTION

If the document's schema is an XML Schema [XML Schema Part 1] , this constant represents the derivation by restriction if complex types are involved, or a restriction if simple types are involved.
The reference type definition is derived by restriction from the other type definition if the other type definition is the same as the reference type definition, or if the other type definition can be reached recursively following the {base type definition} property from the reference type definition, and all the derivation methods involved are restriction.

DERIVATION_EXTENSION

static final int DERIVATION_EXTENSION

If the document's schema is an XML Schema [XML Schema Part 1] , this constant represents the derivation by extension.

DERIVATION_UNION

static final int DERIVATION_UNION

If the document's schema is an XML Schema [XML Schema Part 1] , this constant represents the union if simple types are involved.
The reference type definition is derived by union from the other type definition if there exists two type definitions T1 and T2 such as the reference type definition is derived from T1 by DERIVATION_RESTRICTION or DERIVATION_EXTENSION, T2 is derived from the other type definition by DERIVATION_RESTRICTION, T1 has {variety} union, and one of the {member type definitions} is T2.

Returns:

the namecode. Returns an invented namecode for an anonymous type.

getFingerprint

int getFingerprint()

Get the fingerprint of the name of this type

Returns:

the fingerprint. Returns an invented fingerprint for an anonymous type.

a lexical QName identifying the type

isComplexType

boolean isComplexType()

Test whether this SchemaType is a complex type

Returns:

true if this SchemaType is a complex type

isSimpleType

boolean isSimpleType()

Test whether this SchemaType is a simple type

Returns:

getBlock

int getBlock()

Returns the value of the 'block' attribute for this type, as a bit-signnificant integer with fields such as DERIVATION_LIST and DERIVATION_EXTENSION

Returns:

the value of the 'block' attribute for this type

getBaseType

SchemaType getBaseType()
                       throws UnresolvedReferenceException

Returns the base type that this type inherits from. This method can be used to get the base type of a type that is known to be valid. If this type is a Simpletype that is a built in primitive type then null is returned.

Returns:

the base type, or null if this is xs:anyType (the root of the type hierarchy)

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if this type is not valid.

UnresolvedReferenceException

getDerivationMethod

int getDerivationMethod()

Gets the integer code of the derivation method used to derive this type from its parent. Returns zero for primitive types.

Returns:

a numeric code representing the derivation method, for example DERIVATION_RESTRICTION

allowsDerivation

boolean allowsDerivation(int derivation)

Determines whether derivation (of a particular kind) from this type is allowed, based on the "final" property

Parameters:

derivation - the kind of derivation, for example DERIVATION_LIST

Returns:

true if this kind of derivation is allowed

analyzeContentExpression

void analyzeContentExpression(Expression expression,
                              int kind,
                              StaticContext env)
                              throws XPathException

Analyze an expression to see whether the expression is capable of delivering a value of this type.

Parameters:

expression - the expression that delivers the content

kind - the node kind whose content is being delivered: Type.ELEMENT, Type.ATTRIBUTE, or Type.DOCUMENT

env - The static evaluation context for the query or stylesheet

Throws:

XPathException - if the expression will never deliver a value of the correct type

getTypedValue

SequenceIterator getTypedValue(NodeInfo node)
                               throws XPathException

Get the typed value of a node that is annotated with this schema type. The results of this method are consistent with the atomize(net.sf.saxon.om.NodeInfo) method, but this version returns a SequenceIterator which may be more efficient when handling long lists.

Parameters:

node - the node whose typed value is required

Returns:

a SequenceIterator over the atomic values making up the typed value of the specified node. The objects returned by this iterator are of type AtomicValue

Throws:

XPathException

atomize

Value atomize(NodeInfo node)
              throws XPathException

Get the typed value of a node that is annotated with this schema type. The result of this method will always be consistent with the method getTypedValue(net.sf.saxon.om.NodeInfo). However, this method is often more convenient and may be more efficient, especially in the common case where the value is expected to be a singleton.

Parameters:

node - the node whose typed value is required

Returns:

the typed value.

Throws:

XPathException

Since:

8.5

isSameType

boolean isSameType(SchemaType other)

Test whether this is the same type as another type. They are considered to be the same type if they are derived from the same type definition in the original XML representation (which can happen when there are multiple includes of the same file)

Parameters:

other - the other type

Returns:

true if this is the same type as other

getDescription

String getDescription()

Get a description of this type for use in error messages. This is the same as the display name in the case of named types; for anonymous types it identifies the type by its position in a source schema document.

Returns:

text identifing the type, for use in a phrase such as "the type XXXX".

checkTypeDerivationIsOK

void checkTypeDerivationIsOK(SchemaType base,
                             int block)
                             throws SchemaException

Check that this type is validly derived from a given type, following the rules for the Schema Component Constraint "Is Type Derivation OK (Simple)" (3.14.6) or "Is Type Derivation OK (Complex)" (3.4.6) as appropriate.

Parameters:

base - the base type; the algorithm tests whether derivation from this type is permitted

block - the derivations that are blocked by the relevant element declaration

Throws:

SchemaException - if the derivation is not allowed

getSystemId

String getSystemId()

Get the URI of the schema document where the type was originally defined.

Returns:

the URI of the schema document. Returns null if the information is unknown or if this is a built-in type

isIdType

boolean isIdType()

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. Note that for a node to be treated as an ID in XSD 1.0, its typed value must be a *single* atomic value of type ID; the type of the node, however, can still allow a list. But in XSD 1.1, a list of IDs is permitted

isIdRefType

boolean isIdRefType()

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