Package net.sf.saxon.type
Interface ComplexType
- All Superinterfaces:
SchemaComponent
,SchemaType
,Serializable
A complex type as defined in XML Schema: either a user-defined complex type, or xs:anyType.
In the non-schema-aware version of the Saxon product, the only complex type encountered is xs:anyType.

Method Details
-
isAbstract
boolean isAbstract()Test whether this complex type has been marked as abstract.- Returns:
- true if this complex type is abstract.
-
isComplexContent
boolean isComplexContent()Test whether this complex type has complex content- Returns:
- true if this complex type has a complex content model, false if it has a simple content model
-
isSimpleContent
boolean isSimpleContent()Test whether this complexType has simple content- Returns:
- true if this complex type has a simple content model, false if it has a complex content model
-
isAllContent
boolean isAllContent()Test whether this complex type has "all" content, that is, a content model using an xs:all compositor -
getSimpleContentType
SimpleType getSimpleContentType()Get the simple content type- Returns:
- For a complex type with simple content, returns the simple type of the content. Otherwise, returns null.
-
isRestricted
boolean isRestricted()Test whether this complex type is derived by restriction- Returns:
- true if this complex type is derived by restriction
-
isEmptyContent
boolean isEmptyContent()Test whether the content model of this complex type is empty- Returns:
- true if the content model is defined as empty
-
isEmptiable
Test whether the content model of this complex type allows empty content- Returns:
- true if empty content is valid
- Throws:
SchemaException
ValidationException
-
isMixedContent
boolean isMixedContent()Test whether this complex type allows mixed content- Returns:
- true if mixed content is allowed
-
subsumes
Test whether this complex type subsumes another complex type. The algorithm used is as published by Thompson and Tobin, XML Europe 2003.- Parameters:
sub
- the other type (the type that is derived by restriction, validly or otherwise)- Returns:
- null indicating that this type does indeed subsume the other; or a string indicating why it doesn't.
- Throws:
ValidationException
-
getElementParticleType
Find an element particle within this complex type definition having a given element name (identified by fingerprint), and return the schema type associated with that element particle. If there is no such particle, return null. If the fingerprint matches an element wildcard, return the type of the global element declaration with the given name if one exists, or AnyType if none exists and lax validation is permitted by the wildcard.- Parameters:
fingerprint
- Identifies the name of the child element within this content model- Throws:
SchemaException
ValidationException
-
getElementParticleCardinality
Find an element particle within this complex type definition having a given element name (identified by fingerprint), and return the cardinality associated with that element particle, that is, the number of times the element can occur within this complex type. The value is one ofStaticProperty.EXACTLY_ONE
,StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_ONE
,StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_MORE
,StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ONE_OR_MORE
, If there is no such particle, returnStaticProperty.EMPTY
.- Parameters:
fingerprint
- Identifies the name of the child element within this content model- Throws:
SchemaException
ValidationException
-
getAttributeUseType
Find an attribute use within this complex type definition having a given attribute name (identified by fingerprint), and return the schema type associated with that attribute. If there is no such attribute use, return null. If the fingerprint matches an attribute wildcard, return the type of the global attribute declaration with the given name if one exists, or AnySimpleType if none exists and lax validation is permitted by the wildcard.If there are types derived from this type by extension, search those too.
- Parameters:
fingerprint
- Identifies the name of the child element within this content model- Throws:
SchemaException
ValidationException
