public interface SchemaType extends SchemaComponent
SchemaType is an interface implemented by all schema types: simple and complex types, built-in and user-defined types.

There is a hierarchy of interfaces that extend SchemaType, representing the top levels of the schema type system: SimpleType and ComplexType, with SimpleType further subdivided into List, Union, and Atomic types.

The implementations of these interfaces are organized into a different hierarchy: on the one side, built-in types such as AnyType, AnySimpleType, and the built-in atomic types and list types; on the other side, user-defined types defined in a schema.

  • Field Details

    • DERIVATION_RESTRICTION

      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

      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

      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

      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.
      See Also:
    • DERIVE_BY_SUBSTITUTION

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

  • Method Details

    • getNameCode

      int getNameCode()
      Get the namecode of the name of this type. This includes the prefix from the original type declaration: in the case of built-in types, there may be a conventional prefix or there may be no prefix.
    • getFingerprint

      int getFingerprint()
      Get the fingerprint of the name of this type
      Returns:
      the fingerprint. Returns an invented fingerprint for an anonymous type.
    • getDisplayName

      String getDisplayName()
      Get the display name of the type: that is, a lexical QName with an arbitrary prefix
      Returns:
      a lexical QName identifying the type
    • isComplexType

      boolean isComplexType()
      Test whether this SchemaType is a complex type
      Returns:
      true if this SchemaType is a complex type
    • isSimpleType

      boolean isSimpleType()
      Test whether this SchemaType is a simple type
      Returns:
      true if this SchemaType is a simple type
    • isAtomicType

      boolean isAtomicType()
      Test whether this SchemaType is an atomic type
      Returns:
      true if this SchemaType is an atomic type
    • isAnonymousType

      boolean isAnonymousType()
      Test whether this is an anonymous type
      Returns:
      true if this SchemaType is an anonymous type
    • getBlock

      int getBlock()
      Returns the value of the 'block' attribute for this type, as a bit-signnificant integer with fields such as DERIVATION_LIST and DERIVATION_EXTENSION
      Returns:
      the value of the 'block' attribute for this type
    • getBaseType

      Returns the base type that this type inherits from. This method can be used to get the base type of a type that is known to be valid. If this type is a Simpletype that is a built in primitive type then null is returned.
      Returns:
      the base type.
      Throws:
      IllegalStateException - if this type is not valid.
      UnresolvedReferenceException
    • getDerivationMethod

      int getDerivationMethod()
      Gets the integer code of the derivation method used to derive this type from its parent. Returns zero for primitive types.
      Returns:
      a numeric code representing the derivation method, for example DERIVATION_RESTRICTION
    • allowsDerivation

      boolean allowsDerivation(int derivation)
      Determines whether derivation (of a particular kind) from this type is allowed, based on the "final" property
      Parameters:
      derivation - the kind of derivation, for example DERIVATION_LIST
      Returns:
      true if this kind of derivation is allowed
    • analyzeContentExpression

      void analyzeContentExpression(Expression expression, int kind, StaticContext env) throws XPathException
      Analyze an expression to see whether the expression is capable of delivering a value of this type.
      Parameters:
      expression - the expression that delivers the content
      kind - the node kind whose content is being delivered: Type.ELEMENT, Type.ATTRIBUTE, or Type.DOCUMENT
      env - The static evaluation context for the query or stylesheet
      Throws:
      XPathException - if the expression will never deliver a value of the correct type
    • getTypedValue

      SequenceIterator getTypedValue(NodeInfo node) throws XPathException
      Get the typed value of a node that is annotated with this schema type. The results of this method are consistent with the atomize(net.sf.saxon.om.NodeInfo) method, but this version returns a SequenceIterator which may be more efficient when handling long lists.
      Parameters:
      node - the node whose typed value is required
      Returns:
      a SequenceIterator over the atomic values making up the typed value of the specified node. The objects returned by this iterator are of type AtomicValue
      Throws:
      XPathException
    • atomize

      Value atomize(NodeInfo node) throws XPathException
      Get the typed value of a node that is annotated with this schema type. The result of this method will always be consistent with the method getTypedValue(net.sf.saxon.om.NodeInfo). However, this method is often more convenient and may be more efficient, especially in the common case where the value is expected to be a singleton.
      Parameters:
      node - the node whose typed value is required
      Returns:
      the typed value.
      Throws:
      XPathException
      Since:
      8.5
    • isSameType

      boolean isSameType(SchemaType other)
      Test whether this is the same type as another type. They are considered to be the same type if they are derived from the same type definition in the original XML representation (which can happen when there are multiple includes of the same file)
    • getDescription

      String getDescription()
      Get a description of this type for use in error messages. This is the same as the display name in the case of named types; for anonymous types it identifies the type by its position in a source schema document.
      Returns:
      text identifing the type, for use in a phrase such as "the type XXXX".
    • checkTypeDerivationIsOK

      void checkTypeDerivationIsOK(SchemaType base, int block) throws SchemaException, ValidationException
      Check that this type is validly derived from a given type, following the rules for the Schema Component Constraint "Is Type Derivation OK (Simple)" (3.14.6) or "Is Type Derivation OK (Complex)" (3.4.6) as appropriate.
      Parameters:
      base - the base type; the algorithm tests whether derivation from this type is permitted
      block - the derivations that are blocked by the relevant element declaration
      Throws:
      SchemaException - if the derivation is not allowed
      ValidationException
