  • Field Details

    • DERIVATION_RESTRICTION

      public 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.
      See Also:
    • DERIVATION_EXTENSION

      public 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.
      The reference type definition is derived by extension from the other type definition if the other type definition can be reached recursively following the {base type definition} property from the reference type definition, and at least one of the derivation methods involved is an extension.
      See Also:
    • DERIVATION_UNION

      public 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. Note that T1 could be the same as the reference type definition, and T2 could be the same as the other type definition.
      See Also:
    • DERIVATION_LIST

      public static final int DERIVATION_LIST
      If the document's schema is an XML Schema [XML Schema Part 1] , this constant represents the list.
      The reference type definition is derived by list 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} list, and T2 is the {item type definition}. Note that T1 could be the same as the reference type definition, and T2 could be the same as the other type definition.

    • DERIVE_BY_SUBSTITUTION

      public static final int DERIVE_BY_SUBSTITUTION
      Derivation by substitution. This constant, unlike the others, is NOT defined in the DOM level 3 TypeInfo interface.
