Class GlobalElement

java.lang.Object
  org.dlese.dpc.xml.schema.GlobalDeclaration
      org.dlese.dpc.xml.schema.GlobalElement

All Implemented Interfaces:

GlobalDef

public class GlobalElement
extends GlobalDeclaration

Wrapper for global element definitions in an XML Schema, which are defined as an immediate child of the schema element.

Global element definitions have an XPath of the form "/<xsd:schema/<xsd:element ...>", where the "xsd" prefix refers to a prefix that is mapped to the W3C Schema for Datatype Definitions (having a namespace uri of "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema").

GlobalElement definitions are associated with a type in one of the following ways:

• via a "type" attribute,
• via a "ref" attribute
• via an in-line type definition
