Field Detail

TYPE_STRING

public static final short TYPE_STRING

Identifies an Attribute defined as a String type. This is identified by having a value of "CDATA" for the AttType.

TYPE_TOKENIZED

public static final short TYPE_TOKENIZED

Identifies an Attribute defined as a Tokenized type. This is identified by AttType having one of the following values - "ID", "IDREF", "IDREFS", "ENTITY", "ENTITIES", "NMTOKEN" or "NMTOKENS".

TYPE_ENUMERATED

public static final short TYPE_ENUMERATED

Identifies an Attribute defined as a Enumerated type. This includes both Notations and Enumerations. This is identified by having an enumerated list of values specified for the attribute in the attribute definition.

TYPE_ENUM_ENUMERATION

public static final short TYPE_ENUM_ENUMERATION

Identifies an Attribute defined as an Enumeration.

TYPE_ENUM_NOTATION

public static final short TYPE_ENUM_NOTATION

Identifies an Attribute defined as a Notation.

TYPE_TOKENIZED_ID

public static final short TYPE_TOKENIZED_ID

Identifies the Tokenized type "ID".

TYPE_TOKENIZED_IDREF

public static final short TYPE_TOKENIZED_IDREF

Identifies the Tokenized type "IDREF".

TYPE_TOKENIZED_IDREFS

public static final short TYPE_TOKENIZED_IDREFS

Identifies the Tokenized type "IDREFS".

TYPE_TOKENIZED_ENTITY

public static final short TYPE_TOKENIZED_ENTITY

Identifies the Tokenized type "ENTITY".

TYPE_TOKENIZED_ENTITIES

public static final short TYPE_TOKENIZED_ENTITIES

Identifies the Tokenized type "ENTITIES".

TYPE_TOKENIZED_NMTOKEN

public static final short TYPE_TOKENIZED_NMTOKEN

Identifies the Tokenized type "NMTOKEN".

TYPE_TOKENIZED_NMTOKENS

public static final short TYPE_TOKENIZED_NMTOKENS

Identifies the Tokenized type "NMTOKENS".

TYPE_TOKENIZED_INVALID

public static final short TYPE_TOKENIZED_INVALID

Identifies an invalid Tokenized type specification.

TYPE_NOT_TOKENIZED

public static final short TYPE_NOT_TOKENIZED

Identifies an non-Tokenized type attribute.

OPTIONALITY_REQUIRED

public static final short OPTIONALITY_REQUIRED

Identifies a Required attribute. This is recognized in the attribute definition by the use of the "#REQUIRED" clause in the DefaultDecl section.

OPTIONALITY_IMPLIED

public static final short OPTIONALITY_IMPLIED

Identifies a Implied attribute. This is recognized in the attribute definition by the use of the "#IMPLIED" clause in the DefaultDecl section.

OPTIONALITY_FIXED

public static final short OPTIONALITY_FIXED

Identifies a Fixed attribute. This is recognized in the attribute definition by the use of the "#FIXED" clause in the DefaultDecl section.

OPTIONALITY_DEFAULT

public static final short OPTIONALITY_DEFAULT

Identifies a Required attribute. This is recognized in the attribute definition by the use of non of the clauses in the DefaultDecl section, other than the default value.
