    • Method Detail

      • getDescriptor

        public PropertyDescriptor getDescriptor​(Name name)
        Description copied from interface: ComplexType
        Describe a single property by name.

        This method returns null if no such property is found.

        Specified by:
        getDescriptor in interface ComplexType
        Parameters:
        name - The name of the property to get.
        Returns:
        The property matching the specified name, or null.

      • getDescriptor

        public PropertyDescriptor getDescriptor​(String name)
        Description copied from interface: ComplexType
        Describe a single property by unqualified name.

        Note: Special care should be taken when using this method in the case that two properties with the same local name but different namespace uri exist. For this reason using ComplexType.getDescriptor(Name) is safer.

        This method returns null if no such property is found.

        Specified by:
        getDescriptor in interface ComplexType
        Parameters:
        name - The name of the property to get.
        Returns:
        The property matching the specified name, or null.

      • isInline

        public boolean isInline()
        Description copied from interface: ComplexType
        Indicates ability of XPath to notice this attribute.

        This facility is used to "hide" an attribute from XPath searches, while the compelx contents will still be navigated no additional nesting will be considered. It will be as if the content were "folded" inline resulting in a flatter nesting structure.

        Construct described using Java Interfaces: 

        
 interface TestSample {
     String name;
     List measurement;
 }
 interface Measurement {
     long timestamp;
     Point point;
     long reading;
 }
        The above is can hold the following information: 
        
 [ name="survey1",
   measurements=(
       [timestamp=3,point=(2,3), reading=4200],
       [timestamp=9,point=(2,4), reading=445600],
   )
 ]
        Out of the box this is represented to XPath as the following tree: 
        
 root/name: survey1
 root/measurement[0]/timestamp:3
 root/measurement[0]/point: (2,3)
 root/measurement[0]/reading: 4200
 root/measurement[1]/timestamp:9
 root/measurement[2]/point: (2,4)
 root/measurement[3]/reading: 445600
        By inlining Measurement we can achive the following: 
        
 root/name: survey1
 root/timestamp[0]:3
 root/point[0]: (2,3)
 root/reading[0]: 4200
 root/timestamp[1]:9
 root/point[1]: (2,4)
 root/reading[1] 445600
        Specified by:
        isInline in interface ComplexType
        Returns:
        true if attribute is to be considered transparent by XPath queries
