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:
- the location of the parent structure
- 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"
- 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
