## net.sf.saxon.type
Interface AtomicType

All Superinterfaces:
  ItemType, SchemaComponent, SchemaType, java.io.Serializable, SimpleType

All Known Implementing Classes:
  BuiltInAtomicType, ExternalObjectType

public interface AtomicType
extends SimpleType, ItemType

Marker interface for atomic types (these are either built-in atomic types or user-defined atomic types). An AtomicType is both an ItemType (a possible type for items in a sequence) and a SchemaType (a possible type for validating and annotating nodes).

Method Detail

### makeDerivedValue

    public AtomicValue makeDerivedValue(AtomicValue primValue,
                                        java.lang.CharSequence lexicalValue,
                                        boolean validate)

  Factory method to create values of a derived atomic type. This method is not used to create values of a built-in type, even one that is not primitive.

  Parameters:
    `primValue` - the value in the value space of the primitive type
    `lexicalValue` - the value in the lexical space. If null, the string value of primValue is used. This value is checked against the pattern facet (if any)
    `validate` - true if the value is to be validated against the facets of the derived type; false if the caller knows that the value is already valid.
  Returns:
    the derived atomic value if validation succeeds, or an ErrorValue otherwise. The ErrorValue encapsulates the exception that occurred; it is the caller's responsibility to check for this.
