Package com.sun.xml.xsom

Class XmlString

java.lang.Object
com.sun.xml.xsom.XmlString
public final class XmlString extends Object
String with in-scope namespace binding information.

In a general case, text (PCDATA/attributes) that appear in XML schema cannot be correctly interpreted unless you also have in-scope namespace binding (a case in point is QName.) Therefore, it's convenient to handle the lexical representation and the in-scope namespace binding in a pair.

  • Method Details

    • resolvePrefix

      public String resolvePrefix(String prefix)
      Resolves a namespace prefix to the corresponding namespace URI. This method is used for resolving prefixes in the value (such as when value represents a QName type.)

      If the prefix is "" (empty string), the method returns the default namespace URI.

      If the prefix is "xml", then the method returns "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace", as defined in the XML Namespaces Recommendation.

      Returns:
      namespace URI of this prefix. If the specified prefix is not declared, the implementation returns null.

      public String toString()
      Overrides:
