Constructor Detail

XmlElement

public XmlElement(XmlDataWorkspace ws,
                  XmlDataElementTag eTag,
                  XmlType model)

Creates a global Element in the specified workspace. Global XmlElements are typically referenced when constructing XmlElementRefs.

Parameters:

ws - the XmlDataWorkspace

eTag - the name of the element

model - the content model. This must be an instance of XmlType which includes XmlSimpleType, XmlComplexType, XmlComplexTypeRef, and XmlAnyType. If null is specified, the content is simple string. This is somewhat different than the W3C schema which defaults to anyType. When using XmlElement, XmlAnyType() must be explicitly specified, while null defaults to XmlSimpleType.

XmlElement

public XmlElement(XmlDataWorkspace ws,
                  XmlDataElementTag eTag,
                  XmlType model,
                  int min,
                  int max)

Creates a local element within an XmlGroup.

Parameters:

ws - the XmlDataWorkspace

eTag - the name of the element. For unqualified, specify an XmlDataElementTag with no namespace component. For qualified, specify a namespace that matches the namespace of the containing complex type.

model - the content model. This must be an instance of XmlType which includes XmlSimpleType, XmlComplexType, XmlComplexTypeRef, and XmlAnyType. If null is specified, the content is simple string. This is somewhat different than the W3C schema which defaults to anyType.

min - the minimum number of allowed occurrences

max - the maimum number of allowed occurrences
