Xerces2-j XML Schema Attribute / Element Declaration data type

I'm using Apache's Xerces2-j to parse my XSD. I am trying to get the datatype information for the element / attribute declarations in the XSD.

Here's an example XSD:

<xs:element name="Pretzel">
    ...
    <xs:attribute name="Flavor" type="xs:string"/>
    <xs:attribute name="ProductID" type="xs:nonNegativeInteger"/>
    ...
</xs:element>

In this case, I'd want to get the datatypes of the Flavor and ProductID attributes. According to the W3C Schema API and it开发者_JAVA技巧s Xerces2-j implementation, XSAttributeDeclaration's getActualVCType() will get me what I want. But for me that method always returns 45, which is UNAVAILABLE_DT. Is this a bug in Xerces2-j, or am I just understanding the API wrong? If I am, I'd appreciate if someone could point me to the right direction here.


You are looking to use the method

XSAttributeDeclaration.getTypeDefinition(); // returns XSSimpleTypeDefinition

for simple types and/or possibly

XSAttributeDeclaration.getEnclosingCTDefinition(); // returns XSComplexTypeDefinition

for complex types.

The method getActualVCType() is deprecated, and its alternative call getValueConstraintValue().getActualValueType() looks into a so-called value constraint which is not what you are looking for. This argument is also supported by the code in XSAttributeDecl.java:

       // variable definition
48     // value constraint type: default, fixed or !specified
49     short fConstraintType = XSConstants.VC_NONE;

and

183    public short getActualVCType() {
184        return getConstraintType() == XSConstants.VC_NONE ?
185               XSConstants.UNAVAILABLE_DT :
186               fDefault.actualValueType;
187    }

with

136
137    public short getConstraintType() {
138        return fConstraintType;
139    }

suggests that you are indeed getting UNAVAILABLE_DT because it is not set. I suggest looking into the XSSimpleTypeDefinition's methods, it looks promising to me.
