    • Method Detail

      • getTypeDefinition

        XSTypeDefinition getTypeDefinition()
        [type definition]: either a simple type definition or a complex type definition.
      • getScope

        short getScope()
        [scope]. One of SCOPE_GLOBAL, SCOPE_LOCAL, or SCOPE_ABSENT. If the scope is local, then the enclosingCTDefinition is present.
      • getEnclosingCTDefinition

        XSComplexTypeDefinition getEnclosingCTDefinition()
        The complex type definition for locally scoped declarations (see scope), otherwise null if no such definition exists.
      • getConstraintType

        short getConstraintType()
        [Value constraint]: one of VC_NONE, VC_DEFAULT, VC_FIXED.
      • getConstraintValue

        String getConstraintValue()
        Deprecated.
        Use getValueConstraintValue().getNormalizedValue() instead
        [Value constraint]: the constraint value with respect to the [type definition], otherwise null.
      • getActualVC

        Object getActualVC()
                    throws XSException
        Deprecated.
        Use getValueConstraintValue().getActualValue() instead
        Value Constraint: Binding specific actual constraint value or null if the value is in error or there is no value constraint.
        Throws:
        XSException - NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the implementation does not support this method.
      • getActualVCType

        short getActualVCType()
                       throws XSException
        Deprecated.
        Use getValueConstraintValue().getActualValueType() instead
        The actual constraint value built-in datatype, e.g. STRING_DT, SHORT_DT. If the type definition of this value is a list type definition, this method returns LIST_DT. If the type definition of this value is a list type definition whose item type is a union type definition, this method returns LISTOFUNION_DT. To query the actual constraint value of the list or list of union type definitions use itemValueTypes. If the actualNormalizedValue is null, this method returns UNAVAILABLE_DT.
        Throws:
        XSException - NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the implementation does not support this method.
      • getItemValueTypes

        ShortList getItemValueTypes()
                             throws XSException
        Deprecated.
        Use getValueConstraintValue().getListValueTypes() instead
        In the case the actual constraint value represents a list, i.e. the actualValueType is LIST_DT, the returned array consists of one type kind which represents the itemType. If the actual constraint value represents a list type definition whose item type is a union type definition, i.e. LISTOFUNION_DT, for each actual constraint value in the list the array contains the corresponding memberType kind. For examples, see ItemPSVI.itemValueTypes.
        Throws:
        XSException - NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the implementation does not support this method.
      • getValueConstraintValue

        XSValue getValueConstraintValue()
        The actual value of the default or fixed value constraint.
      • getNillable

        boolean getNillable()
        If nillable is true, then an element may also be valid if it carries the namespace qualified attribute with local name nil from namespace http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance and value true (xsi:nil) even if it has no text or element content despite a content type which would otherwise require content.
      • getIdentityConstraints

        XSNamedMap getIdentityConstraints()
        identity-constraint definitions: a set of constraint definitions if it exists, otherwise an empty XSNamedMap.
      • getSubstitutionGroupAffiliation

        XSElementDeclaration getSubstitutionGroupAffiliation()
        [substitution group affiliation]: a top-level element definition if it exists, otherwise null.
      • isSubstitutionGroupExclusion

        boolean isSubstitutionGroupExclusion​(short exclusion)
        Convenience method that checks if exclusion is a substitution group exclusion for this element declaration.
        Parameters:
        exclusion - DERIVATION_EXTENSION, DERIVATION_RESTRICTION or DERIVATION_NONE. Represents final set for the element.
        Returns:
        True if exclusion is a part of the substitution group exclusion subset.
      • getSubstitutionGroupExclusions

        short getSubstitutionGroupExclusions()
        [substitution group exclusions]: the returned value is a bit combination of the subset of { DERIVATION_EXTENSION, DERIVATION_RESTRICTION} or DERIVATION_NONE.
      • isDisallowedSubstitution

        boolean isDisallowedSubstitution​(short disallowed)
        Convenience method that checks if disallowed is a disallowed substitution for this element declaration.
        Parameters:
        disallowed - { DERIVATION_SUBSTITUTION, DERIVATION_EXTENSION, DERIVATION_RESTRICTION } or DERIVATION_NONE. Represents a block set for the element.
        Returns:
        True if disallowed is a part of the substitution group exclusion subset.
      • getDisallowedSubstitutions

        short getDisallowedSubstitutions()
        [disallowed substitutions]: the returned value is a bit combination of the subset of { DERIVATION_SUBSTITUTION, DERIVATION_EXTENSION, DERIVATION_RESTRICTION } corresponding to substitutions disallowed by this XSElementDeclaration or DERIVATION_NONE.
      • getAbstract

        boolean getAbstract()
        {abstract} A boolean.
      • getAnnotation

        XSAnnotation getAnnotation()
        An annotation if it exists, otherwise null. If not null then the first [annotation] from the sequence of annotations.
      • getAnnotations

        XSObjectList getAnnotations()
        A sequence of [annotations] or an empty XSObjectList.
