Parameters:

child - child schema element

containsChild

public boolean containsChild(String name)

Returns true if this schema element contains a child element for the specified name.

Parameters:

name - name whose presence in this schema element is to be tested

Returns:

true if this schema element contains a child element for the specified name, otherwise false

dumpElements

public StringBuilder dumpElements(StringBuilder b)

Dumps all the structure in a StringBuilder object.

Parameters:

b - StringBuilder where the structure will be dumped

Returns:

StringBuilder with the dumped structure

dumpElements

public StringBuilder dumpElements(StringBuilder b,
                                  String tabs,

Dumps all the structure in a StringBuilder object (not including attributes)

Parameters:

b - StringBuilder where the structure will be dumped

Returns:

StringBuilder with the dumped structure

getChild

public SchemaElement getChild(String name)

Returns the child schema element for the specified name. Name is with the following format: DocRoot@com.ibm.maximo@UpdateMXASSET@MXASSETSet@ASSET#relationship , where relationship is an attribute name and the rest is the path.

Parameters:

name - name whose associated child is to be returned

public String getClassName()

Returns this schema element's class name.

Returns:

this schema element's class name

getFirstChild

public SchemaElement getFirstChild()

Returns the first child schema element.

Returns:

the first child element, or null if this schema element contains no child

getName

public String getName()

Returns this schema element's name.

Returns:

this schema element's name.

getParent

public SchemaElement getParent()

Returns the parent element.

Returns:

parent element

getPath

public String getPath()

Returns a String object representing the path to this schema element starting from the root element.

Returns:

a String object representing the path to this schema element

See Also:

getPathRelativeTo(SchemaElement), getEntryPathRelativeTo(SchemaElement)

getPathRelativeTo

public String getPathRelativeTo(SchemaElement e)

Returns a String object representing the path to this schema element in the hierarchical structure.

Below is a sample structure of schema elements.

 root (root)
 |
 +--child_A (root@child_A)
 |  |
 |  +--child_A1 (root@child_A@child_A1)
 |
