Represents most of a xs:element for an XMLSchema.

we have three types of information to store, Schema defined types, references and extentions on types. If the type represented is either a reference or a Schema defined type then isRef should be true.

Non-complex types are of the form:

• {element name='test' type='xs:string'/}
• {element name='test' type='gml:PointType'/}

These cases have their type name stored in this.type

For complex types such as:

 {element name='test'
 {xs:complexContent}
 {xs:extension base="gml:AbstractFeatureType"}
 {xs:sequence}
 {xs:element name="id"
 type="xs:string"
 minOccurs="0"/}
 {xs:element ref="gml:pointProperty"
 minOccurs="0"/}
 {/xs:sequence}
 {/xs:extension}
 {/xs:complexContent}
 {/element}
 

minOccurs, maxOccurs and nillable are all attributes for all cases. There is more stuff in the XMLSchema spec but we don't care to parse it out right now.

Set up is determined by the AttributeTypeInfoDTO( AttributeType ) constructor.

Nillable is often used to indicate that an attribute is optional.

For Features based on the Simple Feature Specification this should be a value of 1.

For Features based on the Simple Feture Specification this should be a value of 1.

Nillable is often used to indicate that an attribute is optional.

If getType is equals to TYPE_FRAGMENT please consult getFragment() to examin the actual user's definition.

If getType is equals to TYPE_FRAGMENT please consult getFragment() to examin the actual user's definition.

Other than that getType should be one of the constants defined by GMLUtils.

Set up is determined by the AttributeTypeInfoDTO( AttributeType ) constructor. This allows all Schema generation to be acomplished in the same palce.

This property is only used with getType() is equals to "(xml fragment)".

baseGMLTypes can only be used in your XML fragment.

The max number of occurences for this element.

the min number of occurences for this element

returns the element name

If getType is equals to TYPE_FRAGMENT please consult getFragment() to examine the actual user's definition.

Other than that getType should be one of the constants defined by GMLUtils.

Nillable is often used to indicate that an attribute is optional. The use of minOccurs and maxOccurs may be a more correct way to indicate optional attribtues.

This property is only used with getType() is equals to "(xml fragment)".

baseGMLTypes can only be used in your XML fragment.

For Features based on the Simple Feature Specification this should be a value of 1. If the attribute is optional it should still be 1, although often optional is represented by allowing the Attribute to be nillable.

Common Min..Max Occurs values:

• 0..1: attribute is optional
• 1..1: attribute is required (usual for Simple Features)
• 0..N: attribute forms a list that may be empty

For Features based on the Simple Feture Specification this should be a value of 1. If the attribute is optional is should be 0, although often optional is represented by allowing the attribute to be nillable.

• 0..1: attribute is optional
• 1..1: attribute is required (usual for Simple Features)
• 0..N: attribute forms a list that may be empty

Nillable is often used to indicate that an attribute is optional. The use of minOccurs and maxOccurs may be a more correct way to indicate optional attribtues.
