BaseType of a underived ComplexType [message #46119] Thu, 27 May 2004 00:24 Go to next message

Hi,

I am trying to visit a schema as a tree. During the visit, the
following procedure is called to visit complex type definition.

visit(XSDComplexTypeDefinition type) {
visit(type.getBaseTypeDefinition());
......
}

However, the same method is called recursively again with the same
argument. In short, type.getBaseTypeDefinition() returned the object
referred to by variable type. Is this the intended behavior? Or a bug
in XSD? Or am I missing something?

According to XSD specs, it should return the extension/restriction
parent of the object bound to type and, if none exists, it should be
anyType (as it is the root of the Type Hierarchy). Is this so? Or am I
misreading the specs?

waiting for reply,

Well, the object referred to by variable type represents anyType.
However, getBaseTypeDefinition() on it results in a reference to
itself. Now, is this the intended behavior as it violates the "root"
property of the Type Hierarchy? Shouldn't getBaseTypeDefinition() on an
object that represents anyType return null?

Venkatesh,

No, the base type of the anyType is itself as defined in the spec:

Thanks for the clarification. I see that a default anyType is plugged
into the type definition hierarchy. Is this instance defined as a
constant in any of the XSD classes? If so, which one?

Venkatesh,

No. Normally you'd get it like this:

xsdSchema.getSchemaForSchema().resolveComplexTypeDefinition( "anyType");

The schema for schema is a shared instance based on the schema for schema namespace
used by the schema. Note that there are recognizers like XSDUtil.isURType for
testing if you have one of these special any types...

Venkatesh,
<p>No.&nbsp; Normally you'd get it like this:
<blockquote> &nbsp;xsdSchema.getSchemaForSchema().resolveComplexTypeD efinition( "anyType");</blockquote>
The schema for schema is a shared instance based on the schema for schema
namespace used by the schema.&nbsp; Note that there are recognizers like
XSDUtil.isURType for testing if you have one of these special any types...

<br>Thanks for the clarification.&nbsp; I see that a default anyType is
plugged
<br>into the type definition hierarchy.&nbsp; Is this instance defined
as a
<br>constant in any of the XSD classes?&nbsp; If so, which one?

<br>>> Well, the object referred to by variable type represents anyType.
<br>>> However, getBaseTypeDefinition() on it results in a reference to

the "root"
