Parameters: component - The component in question. qName - The qualifined name. getTargetPrefix public static String getTargetPrefix(XSDSchema schema) Returns the namespace prefix mapped to the targetNamespace of the schema. Parameters: schema - The schema in question. Returns: The namesapce prefix, or null if not found. getComponentInstancesOfType public static <T> List<T> getComponentInstancesOfType(PicoContainer container, Class<T> clazz) Obtains all instances of a particular class from a container by navigating up the container hierachy. Parameters: container - The container. clazz - The class. Returns: A list of all instances of clazz, or the empty list if none found. getComponentAdaptersOfType public static List<ComponentAdapter> getComponentAdaptersOfType(PicoContainer container, Class clazz) Obtains all component adapters of a particular class from a container by navigating up the container hierarchy. Parameters: container - The container. clazz - The class. Returns: A list of all adapters for components of class clazz, or the empty list if none found. unregisterComponent public static void unregisterComponent(PicoContainer container, Object key) Unregisters a component in the container and all parent containers. Parameters: container - The container. key - The key of the component. getParticleName public static QName getParticleName(XSDParticle particle) Returns the name of the element represented by the particle as a QName.
