      • 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
      • getRestrictions

        public List<Filter> getRestrictions()
        Description copied from interface: PropertyType
        List of restrictions used define valid values for properties of this property type.

        Each restriction is a Filter object in which the property is passed through. If Filter.evaluate(Object) returns true the restriction is met. If false is returned then the restriction has not been met and the property should be considered invalid. Remember to check getSuper().getRestrictions() as well.

        This method returns an empty set in the case of no restrictions and should not return null.

        Specified by:
        getRestrictions in interface PropertyType
        Returns:
        List used to validate allowable values.
      • getName

        public Name getName()
        Description copied from interface: PropertyType
        The name of the property type.

        Note that this is not the same name as Property.getName(), which is the name of the instance of the type, not the type itself.

        The returned name is a qualified name made up of two parts. The first a namespace uri (Name.getNamespaceURI(), and the second a local part (Name.getLocalPart().

        This value is never null.

        Specified by:
        getName in interface PropertyType
        Returns:
        The name of the property type.
      • getUserData

        public Map<Object,​Object> getUserData()
        Description copied from interface: PropertyType
        A map of "user data" which enables applications to store "application-specific" information against a property type.

        As an example, consider an application that builds a PropertyType from an xml schema. A useful bit of information to attach to the PropertyType is the original schema itself, in whatever construct it might be stored in:

         
         XSDComplexTypeDefinition complexTypeDef = ...;
         PropertyType type = buildPropertyType( complexTypeDef );
        
         type.getUserData().put( XSDComplexTypeDefintion.class, complexTypeDef );
         
         
        Specified by:
        getUserData in interface PropertyType
        Returns:
        A map of user data.
