Hello.
Another "returns null" question :-)
When I call getName() method of XSDElementDeclaration, it gives me null,
although getQName() returns correct answer. How can I get element name
without "...:" prefix?
Thank you.

Peter,
An XSDElementDeclaration is used to represent either the actual "abstract"
element declaration or an element declaration reference, in which case all
the properties are null and the getResolveElementDeclaration is needed to
navigate to the actual declaration with all the properties, like name, that
you want to examine. Again, depending on how you traverse the model, you
can avoid seeing element declaration references if you aren't interested in
seeing them.

Thank you for answer. I think I am starting to understand this "abstract"
versus "concrete" thing. When I am reading XML Schema specs, they are
mostly talking about "abstract" view of schema, and that is what I really
want. I will more carefully look at XSD methods and double-check before I
post my questions here.
