Methods Summary
public boolean	derivedFrom(java.lang.String namespace, java.lang.String name, short derivationMethod) Convenience method which checks if this type is derived from the given ancestor type. param namespace An ancestor type namespace. param name An ancestor type name. param derivationMethod A bit combination representing a subset of { DERIVATION_RESTRICTION, DERIVATION_EXTENSION, DERIVATION_UNION, DERIVATION_LIST }. return True if this type is derived from ancestorType using only derivation methods from the derivationMethod .
public boolean	derivedFromType(org.apache.xerces.xs.XSTypeDefinition ancestorType, short derivationMethod) Convenience method which checks if this type is derived from the given ancestorType. param ancestorType An ancestor type definition. param derivationMethod A bit combination representing a subset of { DERIVATION_RESTRICTION, DERIVATION_EXTENSION, DERIVATION_UNION, DERIVATION_LIST }. return True if this type is derived from ancestorType using only derivation methods from the derivationMethod .
public boolean	getAnonymous() Convenience attribute. A boolean that specifies if the type definition is anonymous.
public org.apache.xerces.xs.XSTypeDefinition	getBaseType() {base type definition}: either a simple type definition or a complex type definition.
public short	getFinal() For complex types the returned value is a bit combination of the subset of {DERIVATION_EXTENSION, DERIVATION_RESTRICTION} corresponding to final set of this type or DERIVATION_NONE. For simple types the returned value is a bit combination of the subset of { DERIVATION_RESTRICTION, DERIVATION_EXTENSION, DERIVATION_UNION, DERIVATION_LIST } corresponding to final set of this type or DERIVATION_NONE.
public short	getTypeCategory() Return whether this type definition is a simple type or complex type.
public boolean	isFinal(short restriction) {final}. For a complex type definition it is a subset of {extension, restriction}. For a simple type definition it is a subset of {extension, list, restriction, union}. param restriction Extension, restriction, list, union constants (defined in XSConstants). return True if restriction is in the final set, otherwise false.
