Method Detail

• getSchemaLocation

  public static void getSchemaLocation​(Structure structure,
                                       java.lang.StringBuffer location)

  Deduces an XPATH expression qualifying the path from the schema root to the given structure in question.

  Parameters:

  structure - AN XML structure.

  location - The XPATH expression to be created.

• getSchemaLocation

  public static void getSchemaLocation​(Structure structure,
                                       java.lang.StringBuffer location,
                                       boolean dealWithAnonTypes)

  Deduces an XPATH expression qualifying the path from the schema root to the given structure in question.

  Parameters:

  structure - AN XML structure.

  location - The XPATH expression to be created.

  dealWithAnonTypes - Indicates whether to include XPATH fragments for anonymous types.

• getSchemaLocation

  public static java.lang.String getSchemaLocation​(Structure structure,
                                                   boolean dealWithAnonTypes)

  Returns a string (XPATH) representation of an XML Schema component. This representation is directly adapted from XPath and will used as a key to store the component bindings.

  The location of a structure is composed of two parts:

  1. the location of the parent structure
  2. the local location of the structure itself

  The local location is defined by:

  • If the structure is an Element: the location is the XPath representation "/element_name"
  • If the structure is an Attribute: the location is the XPath representation "/@attribute_name"
  • If the structure is a ComplexType: the location is "complexType:complexType_name"
  • If the structure is a SimpleType: the location is "simpleType:simpleType_name"
  • If the structure is a Enumeration: the location is "enumType:enumType_name"
  • If the structure is a ModelGroup: the location is "group:group_name"

  Note that only top-level groups and complexTypes are named and thus will

  Parameters:

  structure - the structure for which to return a representation.

  dealWithAnonTypes - Indicates whether to include XPATH fragments for anonymous types.

  Returns:

  a string representation of an XML Schema component.

• getSchemaLocation

  public static java.lang.String getSchemaLocation​(Structure structure)

  Returns a string (XPATH) representation of an XML Schema component. This representation is directly adapted from XPath and will used as a key to store the component bindings.

  Parameters:

  structure - the structure for which to return a representation

  Returns:

  a string representation of the XPATH identifying an XML Schema component
