All Known Subinterfaces:
  AtomicType, ComplexType, ListType, SimpleType

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 Detail

### DERIVATION_RESTRICTION

    public 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.

    Constant Field Values

### DERIVATION_EXTENSION

    public 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.

    Constant Field Values

### DERIVATION_UNION

    public 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.

    Constant Field Values

Method Detail

### getNameCode

    public 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

    public int getFingerprint()

  Get the fingerprint of the name of this type

  Returns:
    the fingerprint. Returns an invented fingerprint for an anonymous type.

### getDisplayName

    public java.lang.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

    public boolean isComplexType()

  Test whether this SchemaType is a complex type

  Returns:
    true if this SchemaType is a complex type

### isSimpleType

    public boolean isSimpleType()

  Test whether this SchemaType is a simple type

  Returns:
    true if this SchemaType is a simple type

### getBlock

    public 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

    public SchemaType getBaseType()
                           throws UnresolvedReferenceException

  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:
    `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - if this type is not valid.
    `UnresolvedReferenceException`

### getDerivationMethod

    public 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

    public 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

    public 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

    public 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

    public 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

    public 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

    public java.lang.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".

### isTypeDerivationOK

    public void isTypeDerivationOK(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`
