  org.dlese.dpc.xml.schema.StructureWalker

public class StructureWalker
extends Object

Creates an empty "XPath-equivant" instance document Document based on a venetian-blind-type XML Schema. Provides an intermediate structure for building a SchemaNodeMap that is accessible via XPath keys, and that will hold important information about the Document elements (see SchemaNode. For example, the SchemaNodeMap (that is enabled by an StructureWalker) can provide type definition and validation information, defaults, etc that are accessible via XPath keys
