Method Summary

All Methods Static Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`boolean`	`cache(Element element, Map hints)` This method is a directive to the parser whether to keep the data around in memory for post processing.
`boolean`	`canEncode(Element element, Object value, Map hints)` Subclass must override this method to allow encoding.
`void`	`encode(Element element, Object value, PrintHandler output, Map hints)` Subclass should implement this, this implementation provides a good OperationsNotSupportedException.
`Element`	`findChildElement(String name)` Convinience method used to search this type's children for the requested element by localName.
`String`	`getAnyAttributeNameSpace()` This methos represents the potential 'anyAttribute' declaration's namespace attribute which may occur within a complex type definition.
`Attribute[]`	`getAttributes()` The set of attributes required by this complex type declaration.
`int`	`getBlock()` Specifies a mask which denotes which substitution mechanisms may be used for this complex type definition.
`ElementGrouping`	`getChild()` Returns the child element representing the structure of nested child nodes (if any are allowed).
`Element[]`	`getChildElements()`
`int`	`getFinal()` Specifies a mask which denotes which substitution mechanisms prohibited for use by child definitions of this complex type.
`String`	`getId()` Returns the xml schema id of this complexType if one exists, null otherwise.
`static ComplexType`	`getInstance()`
`Class`	`getInstanceType()` This will return the intended Java Class for this element type.
`String`	`getName()` This returns the XML Schema declaration name of this type (both complex and simple types have names ...)
`URI`	`getNamespace()` This is used for validation of an XML document, and represents the targetNamespace of that this type resides in.
`Type`	`getParent()` This is used to represent the heirarchy represented within an xml schema document(s).
`Object`	`getValue(Element element, ElementValue[] value, Attributes attrs, Map hints)` This method is intended to receive the child elements in the form of ElementValues (@see ElementValue).
`boolean`	`isAbstract()` Returns true when the complexType should be considered abstract, as defined by the XML schema of which this complex type definition is a part.
`boolean`	`isDerived()` This method is used to publish whether this complexType is at the root of an inheritance tree, or a leaf within an inheritance tree.

public Object getValue(Element element,
                       ElementValue[] value,
                       Attributes attrs,
                       Map hints)
```
    Description copied from interface: Type
    
    This method is intended to receive the child elements in the form of ElementValues (@see ElementValue). Recall that this is a pairing containing a reference to the type and the actual value (do not call .getValue on the types). This should return the real value (interpreted value) for this element based on it's children. Remember, this is a XML is a tree structure, so if you don't include some children, they are gone forever (so be careful when ignoring data).
    
    If the element had #CData (Nested Child Text), this will appear in the first slot, with a null Element.
    
    A SAXNotSupportedException should be thrown when the child's [inherited, default implementation of getValue(ElementValue[],Attributes)] method should be used.
    
    Returns:
    
    Object

public String getName()
```
    Description copied from interface: Type

    Type.getName()
  - getInstanceType
```
public Class getInstanceType()
```
    Description copied from interface: Type
    
    This will return the intended Java Class for this element type. For generic complex types this will be an object array. SimpleTypes will match as they are parsed, and custom extensions will also return the appropriate class value.

  - canEncode
```
public boolean canEncode(Element element,
                         Object value,
                         Map hints)
```
    Subclass must override this method to allow encoding.
    
    Specified by:
    
    canEncode in interface Type
    
    Parameters:
    
    element - The element which may be used to represent the Object. This is included to allow for child definitions to include addition information where appropriate.
    
    value - An Object which may or may not be encodeable by this type. The value may also be null.
    
    Returns:
    
    false, subclass override to allow encoding
    
    See Also:
    
    Type#encode(Element, Object, Writer, Map)
  - encode
```
public void encode(Element element,
                   Object value,
                   PrintHandler output,
                   Map hints)
            throws IOException,
                   OperationNotSupportedException
```
    Subclass should implement this, this implementation provides a good OperationsNotSupportedException.
    
    Specified by:
    
    encode in interface Type
    
    Parameters:
    
    element - The original element declaration to which we should encode.
    
    value - The Object to encode.
    
    output - This is where the output should be written to.
    
    hints - For providing additional context information to specific schemas.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - When there is an error with the Writer.
    
    OperationNotSupportedException - When this type cannot be encoded ... and wasn't checked first.
