XSAttributeDeclaration

public interface XSAttributeDeclaration implements XSObject
The interface represents the Attribute Declaration schema component.

Fields Summary
Constructors Summary
Methods Summary
public java.lang.ObjectgetActualVC()
Value Constraint: Binding specific actual constraint value or null if the value is in error or there is no value constraint.

exception
XSException NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the implementation does not support this method.

public shortgetActualVCType()
The actual constraint value built-in datatype, e.g. STRING_DT, SHORT_DT. If the type definition of this value is a list type definition, this method returns LIST_DT. If the type definition of this value is a list type definition whose item type is a union type definition, this method returns LISTOFUNION_DT. To query the actual constraint value of the list or list of union type definitions use itemValueTypes. If the actualValue is null, this method returns UNAVAILABLE_DT.

exception
XSException NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the implementation does not support this method.

public XSAnnotationgetAnnotation()
An annotation if it exists, otherwise null. If not null then the first [annotation] from the sequence of annotations.

public XSObjectListgetAnnotations()
A sequence of [annotations] or an empty XSObjectList.

public shortgetConstraintType()
Value constraint: one of VC_NONE, VC_DEFAULT, VC_FIXED.

public java.lang.StringgetConstraintValue()
Value constraint: The constraint value with respect to the [type definition], otherwise null.

public XSComplexTypeDefinitiongetEnclosingCTDefinition()
The complex type definition for locally scoped declarations (see scope), otherwise null if no such definition exists.

public ShortListgetItemValueTypes()
In the case the actual constraint value represents a list, i.e. the actualValueType is LIST_DT, the returned array consists of one type kind which represents the itemType. If the actual constraint value represents a list type definition whose item type is a union type definition, i.e. LISTOFUNION_DT, for each actual constraint value in the list the array contains the corresponding memberType kind. For examples, see ItemPSVI.itemValueTypes.

exception
XSException NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the implementation does not support this method.

public shortgetScope()
[scope]. One of SCOPE_GLOBAL, SCOPE_LOCAL, or SCOPE_ABSENT. If the scope is local, then the enclosingCTDefinition is present.

public XSSimpleTypeDefinitiongetTypeDefinition()
[type definition]: A simple type definition.
