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.

    Modifier and Type
    Method
    Description
    StructuredQName
    getComponentName()
    Get the name of the schema component
    int

    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()

  • Method Details

    • 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
