  • Method Details

    • getCompileTimeClass

      @Nullable @Nullable Class<?> getCompileTimeClass()
      Returns compile-time class, if this type has any. For example, UserType.class, ObjectType.class, ExtensionType.class.

    • getSuperType

      @Nullable @Nullable QName getSuperType()
      Name of super type of this complex type definition. For example, `c:ObjectType` is a super type for `c:FocusType` which is a super type for `c:UserType`. Extension types have `c:ExtensionType` as their supertype, if no explicit supertype is specified in XSD.

    • getStaticSubTypes

      @NotNull @NotNull Collection<TypeDefinition> getStaticSubTypes()
      Subtypes - but only these that are a part of the static schema. A little bit experimental. :)

    • getInstantiationOrder

      Integer getInstantiationOrder()

    • canRepresent

      boolean canRepresent(QName typeName)

    • isAssignableFrom

      @Experimental default boolean isAssignableFrom(TypeDefinition other, SchemaRegistry registry)
      Returns:
      True if variables of this type can be assigned value of specified other type, i.e. if this type is equal or supertype of the other type.
