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

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
StructuredQName	getComponentName() Get the name of the schema component
int	getFingerprint() Get the name of the schema component
SchemaType	getType() Get the simple or complex type associated with the element or attribute declaration
boolean	hasTypeAlternatives() Determine, in the case of an Element Declaration, whether there are type alternatives defined
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

getFingerprint

int getFingerprint()

Get the name of the schema component

Returns:

the fingerprint of the component name

getComponentName

StructuredQName getComponentName()

Get the name of the schema component

Returns:

the component name as a structured QName

getType

SchemaType getType()
            throws MissingComponentException

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

Returns:

the simple or complex type

Throws:

MissingComponentException

makeSchemaNodeTest

NodeTest makeSchemaNodeTest()
                     throws MissingComponentException

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

Throws:

MissingComponentException - if the type of the declaration is not present in the schema.

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

hasTypeAlternatives

boolean hasTypeAlternatives()

Determine, in the case of an Element Declaration, whether there are type alternatives defined

Returns:

true if the element uses conditional type assignment
