Method Detail

getBaseType

XSType getBaseType()
Returns the base type of this type. Note that if this type represents xs:anyType, this method returns itself. This is awkward as an API, but it follows the schema specification.

Returns:
always non-null.

getDerivationMethod

int getDerivationMethod()

isSimpleType

boolean isSimpleType()
Returns true if this instanceof XSSimpleType.


isComplexType

boolean isComplexType()
Returns true if this instanceof XSComplexType.


listSubstitutables

XSType[] listSubstitutables()
Lists up types that can substitute this type by using xsi:type. Includes this type itself.

This method honors the block flag.


getRedefinedBy

XSType getRedefinedBy()
If this XSType is redefined by another type, return that component.

Returns:
null if this component has not been redefined.

getRedefinedCount

int getRedefinedCount()
Returns the number of complex types that redefine this component.

For example, if A is redefined by B and B is redefined by C, A.getRedefinedCount()==2, B.getRedefinedCount()==1, and C.getRedefinedCount()==0.


asSimpleType

XSSimpleType asSimpleType()
Casts this object to XSSimpleType if possible, otherwise returns null.


asComplexType

XSComplexType asComplexType()
Casts this object to XSComplexType if possible, otherwise returns null.


isDerivedFrom

boolean isDerivedFrom(XSType t)
Returns true if this type is derived from the specified type.

Note that t.isDerivedFrom(t) returns true.
