    Method
    Description

    exportQNameTest()
    Export the QNameTest as a string for use in a SEF file (typically in a catch clause).
    boolean
    matches(StructuredQName qname)
    Test whether the QNameTest matches a given QName

  • Method Details

    • matches

      boolean matches(StructuredQName qname)
      Test whether the QNameTest matches a given QName
      Parameters:
      qname - the QName to be matched
      Returns:
      true if the name matches, false if not

    • exportQNameTest

      String exportQNameTest()
      Export the QNameTest as a string for use in a SEF file (typically in a catch clause).
      Returns:
      a string representation of the QNameTest, suitable for use in export files. The format is a sequence of alternatives, space-separated, where each alternative is one of '*', '*:localname', 'Q{uri}*', or 'Q{uri}local'.

    • relationship

      Affinity relationship(QNameTest other)
      Determine the relationship of this QNameTest to another QNameTest: one of (same, subsumes, subsumed-by, overlaps, disjoint)
