Method Detail

match

public static XSElementOrAttrRef[][] match(XsTKeybase keybase,
                           XSElement startingNode)
                                    throws org.xml.sax.SAXException

Matches every element and attribute referenced by the specified keybase.

The result is a two dimensional array, the first dimension corresponds to each xs:field used to declare the constraint. The second dimension is for each 'or' used within the fields xpath query.

Only tags and attributes that were matched by the xpath will be in the result, any xpath that fails to match anything will not be stored in this array.

Throws:

org.xml.sax.SAXException

parse

public static XPathMatcher parse(org.xml.sax.Locator locator,
                 java.lang.String xpath,
                 boolean elementsOnly)
                          throws org.xml.sax.SAXException

Create an XPathMatcher. Parses a string holding a restricted subset of XPath and returns an object that knows how to walk XSElement objects based on that XPath.

Parameters:

elementsOnly - True if the xpath is not allowed to match attributes.

Throws:

org.xml.sax.SAXException

match

public XSElementOrAttrRef[] match(XSElement startingNode)
                           throws org.xml.sax.SAXException

Return the elements and attributes matched by this xpath when applied from the specified starting node.

Throws:

org.xml.sax.SAXException

match

public void match(XSElement startingNode,
         java.util.Set matches)
           throws org.xml.sax.SAXException

Return the elements and attributes matched by this xpath when applied from the specified starting node.

Throws:
