public class XPathHelper
extends java.lang.Object
Helper class to assemble an XPATH expression to qualify the path of
an XML schema structure from the XML schema root.
static String | getSchemaLocation(Structure structure) - Returns a string (XPATH) representation of an XML Schema component.
|
static void | getSchemaLocation(Structure structure, StringBuffer location) - Deduces an XPATH expression qualifying the path from the schema root
to the given structure in question.
|
static void | getSchemaLocation(Structure structure, StringBuffer location, boolean dealWithAnonTypes) - Deduces an XPATH expression qualifying the path from the schema root to
the given structure in question.
|
static String | getSchemaLocation(Structure structure, boolean dealWithAnonTypes) - Returns a string (XPATH) representation of an XML Schema component.

getSchemaLocation
public static 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.
structure
- the structure for which to return a representation
- a string representation of the XPATH identifying an XML Schema component
getSchemaLocation
public static void getSchemaLocation(Structure structure,
StringBuffer location)
Deduces an XPATH expression qualifying the path from the schema root
to the given structure in question.
structure
- AN XML structure.location
- The XPATH expression to be created.
getSchemaLocation
public static void getSchemaLocation(Structure structure,
StringBuffer location,
boolean dealWithAnonTypes)
Deduces an XPATH expression qualifying the path from the schema root to
the given structure in question.
structure
- AN XML structure.location
- The XPATH expression to be created.dealWithAnonTypes
- Indicates whether to include XPATH fragments for anonymous
types.
getSchemaLocation
public static 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"
Note that only top-level groups and complexTypes are named and thus will
structure
- the structure for which to return a representation.dealWithAnonTypes
- Indicates whether to include XPATH fragments for anonymous
types.
- a string representation of an XML Schema component.
