finding elements or attributes based on Types [message #36367] Wed, 21 January 2004 16:16 Go to next message

I'm trying to find out how to retrieve every elements or attributes that
are based on a global simpleTypeDefinition. I've tried with
findElementsUsingType but with no luck ;-(
For exemple, I'd like something that'd tell me that the simpleType
'atacharacType' is used in 'titi' (and others ...). 'titi' being an
attribute or an element.

<xs:simpleType name="atacharacType">
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:pattern value="\d\d(-\d\d(-\d\d)?)?"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>

<xs:element name="ata">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="titi" type="atacharacType" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation>bla bla bla</xs:documentation>
</xs:annotation>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

thanx,

--mike

Mike,

The findElementsUsingType method only searches global element declarations but
in your example it's a local element declaration you want to find. There are
many ways to tackle this problem. This simple brute force approach will do
the trick for a given schema component:

for (Iterator i = xsdSchema.eAllContents(); i.hasNext(); )
{
Object o = i.next();
if (o instanceof XSDFeature)
{
XSDFeature xsdFeature = (XSDFeature)o;
if (xsdFeature.getType() == whatever)
{
// We have a matching element or attribute declaration.
}
}
}

It walks the schema containment tree looking for features (i.e., elements or
attributes) with a type that matches a specific type...

Thanx a lot,

--mike

nb: If the root schema is provided, would it look for elements inside
included schemas?
