        public static SchemaType NO_TYPE
        The SchemaType object given to an XmlObject instance when no type can be determined.

        Parameters:
        options - Options for the query. For example, you can call the XmlOptions.setXqueryCurrentNodeVar(String) method to specify a particular name for the expression variable that indicates the context node and the XmlOptions.setXqueryVariables(Map) method to map external variable names to values.
        Throws:
        XmlException
      • getContextTypeLoader

        public static SchemaTypeLoader getContextTypeLoader()
        Gets the SchemaTypeLoader based on the current thread's context ClassLoader. This is the SchemaTypeLoader that is used to assign schema types to XML documents by default. The SchemaTypeLoader is also consulted to resolve wildcards and xsi:type attributes.

        Returns the SchemaTypeSystem that results from compiling the XML schema definitions passed.

        Just like compileXsd, but uses the context type loader for linking, and returns a unioned typeloader that is suitable for creating instances.

        XmlException
      • loadXsd

        public static SchemaTypeLoader loadXsd​(XmlObject[] schemas,

        Returns the SchemaTypeSystem that results from compiling the XML schema definitions passed in schemas.

        This is just like compileXsd, but uses the context type loader for linking, and returns a unioned typeloader that is suitable for creating instances.

        Use the options parameter to specify one or both of the following:

        Parameters:
        schemas - The schema definitions from which to build the schema type system.
        options - Options specifying an error listener and/or validation behavior.
        Throws:
        XmlException
      • compileXsd

        public static SchemaTypeSystem compileXsd​(XmlObject[] schemas,
                                                  SchemaTypeLoader typepath,
                                                  XmlOptions options)
                                           throws XmlException

        Returns the SchemaTypeSystem that results from compiling the XML schema definitions passed.

        The XmlObjects passed in should be w3c <schema> elements whose type is org.w3c.x2001.xmlSchema.Schema. (That is, schema elements in the XML namespace http://www.w3c.org/2001/XMLSchema.) Also org.w3c.x2001.xmlSchema.SchemaDocument is permitted.

        The optional second argument is a SchemaTypeLoader which will be consulted for already-compiled schema types which may be linked while processing the given schemas.

        The SchemaTypeSystem that is returned should be combined (via typeLoaderUnion(org.apache.xmlbeans.SchemaTypeLoader[])) with the typepath typeloader in order to create a typeloader that can be used for creating and validating instances.

        Use the options parameter to specify the following:

        Parameters:
        schemas - The schema definitions from which to build the schema type system.
        typepath - The path to already-compiled schema types for linking while processing.
        options - Options specifying an error listener and/or validation behavior.
        Throws:
        XmlException
      • compileXsd

        public static SchemaTypeSystem compileXsd​(SchemaTypeSystem system,
                                                  XmlObject[] schemas,
                                                  SchemaTypeLoader typepath,
                                                  XmlOptions options)
                                           throws XmlException

        Returns the SchemaTypeSystem that results from augumenting the SchemaTypeSystem passed in by incrementally adding the given XML schema definitions.

        These could be new definitions (if the Schema document is not recorded into the existing SchemaTypeSystem), modifications to the already existing definitions (if the Schema document is already recorded in the existing SchemaTypeSystem), or deletions (if the Schema document is already recorded in the existing SchemaTypeSystem and the new definitions are empty). The identity of documents is established using XmlDocumentProperties.getSourceName(), so if the caller choses to construct the Schema definitions using other methods than parsing an XML document, they should make sure that the names returned by that method are consistent with the caller's intent (add/modify).

        The XmlObjects passed in should be w3c <schema> elements whose type is org.w3c.x2001.xmlSchema.Schema. (That is, schema elements in the XML namespace http://www.w3c.org/2001/XMLSchema.) Also org.w3c.x2001.xmlSchema.SchemaDocument is permitted.

        The optional second argument is a SchemaTypeLoader which will be consulted for already-compiled schema types which may be linked while processing the given schemas.

        The SchemaTypeSystem that is returned should be combined (via typeLoaderUnion(org.apache.xmlbeans.SchemaTypeLoader[])) with the typepath typeloader in order to create a typeloader that can be used for creating and validating instances.

        Use the options parameter to specify the following:

        Parameters:
        schemas - The schema definitions from which to build the schema type system.
        typepath - The path to already-compiled schema types for linking while processing.
        options - Options specifying an error listener and/or validation behavior.
        Throws:
        XmlException
      • compileXmlBeans

        public static SchemaTypeSystem compileXmlBeans​(java.lang.String name,
                                                       SchemaTypeSystem system,

                                                throws XmlException

        Returns the SchemaTypeSystem that results from augumenting the SchemaTypeSystem passed in by incrementally adding the given XML schema definitions.

        These could be new definitions (if the Schema document is not recorded into the existing SchemaTypeSystem), modifications to the already existing definitions (if the Schema document is already recorded in the existing SchemaTypeSystem), or deletions (if the Schema document is already recorded in the existing SchemaTypeSystem and the new definitions are empty). The identity of documents is established using XmlDocumentProperties.getSourceName(), so if the caller choses to construct the Schema definitions using other methods than parsing an XML document, they should make sure that the names returned by that method are consistent with the caller's intent (add/modify).

        The XmlObjects passed in should be w3c <schema> elements whose type is org.w3c.x2001.xmlSchema.Schema. (That is, schema elements in the XML namespace http://www.w3c.org/2001/XMLSchema.) Also org.w3c.x2001.xmlSchema.SchemaDocument is permitted.

        The optional name argument is used to name the compiled schema type system. A randomly generated name will be used if the name is null.

        The optional BindingConfig argument is used to control the shape of the generated code. A BindingConfig isn't used if Filer is null.

        The optional SchemaTypeLoader argument will be consulted for already-compiled schema types which may be linked while processing the given schemas. If not specified, the context typeloader (as returned by getContextTypeLoader()) will be used.

        The optional Filer argument is used to create new binary or source files which are the product of the compilation. If the Filer is null, the schema binaries (.xsb) files and source files won't be generated.

        The SchemaTypeSystem that is returned should be combined (via typeLoaderUnion(org.apache.xmlbeans.SchemaTypeLoader[])) with the typepath typeloader in order to create a typeloader that can be used for creating and validating instances.

        Use the options parameter to specify the following:

        Parameters:
        name - The type system name or null to use a randomly generated name.
        system - A pre-existing SchemaTypeSystem used in incremental compilation.
        schemas - The schema definitions from which to build the schema type system.
        config - The configuration controls the code generation shape.
        typepath - The path to already-compiled schema types for linking while processing.
        filer - The Filer instance used to create binary binding files and source text files.
        options - Options specifying an error listener and/or validation behavior.
        Throws:
        XmlException
