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

      All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods 
      Modifier and Type Method 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

      • 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
