public abstract class Length extends Object
length is the number of units of length, where units of length varies depending on the type that is being ???derived??? from.The value of length ???must??? be a nonNegativeInteger. Length is defined as:
- string length is measured in units of characters
- anyURI length is measured in units of characters
- hexBinary and base64Binary length is measured in octets (8bits) on binary data
- list length is measured in number of list items
For string and datatypes ???derived??? from string, length will not always coincide with "string length" as perceived by some users or with the number of storage units in some digital representation. Therefore, care should be taken when specifying a value for length and in attempting to infer storage requirements from a given value for length.
Example:
<simpleType name='productCode'> <restriction base='string'> <length value='8' fixed='true'/> </restriction> </simpleType>
