XSString

public XSString(java.lang.String x)

Initialises using the supplied String

Parameters:

x - The String to initialise to

XSString

public XSString()

Initialises to null

Method Detail

string_type

public java.lang.String string_type()

Retrieves the datatype's full pathname

Specified by:

string_type in class AnyType

Returns:

"xs:string" which is the datatype's full pathname

type_name

public java.lang.String type_name()

Retrieves the datatype's name

Specified by:

type_name in class CtrType

Returns:

"string" which is the datatype's name

string_value

public java.lang.String string_value()

Retrieves a String representation of the string stored. This method is functionally identical to value()

Specified by:

string_value in class AnyType

Returns:

The String stored

value

public java.lang.String value()

Retrieves a String representation of the string stored. This method is functionally identical to string_value()

Returns:

The String stored

constructor

public ResultSequence constructor(ResultSequence arg)
                           throws DynamicError

Creates a new ResultSequence consisting of the extractable String in the supplied ResultSequence

Specified by:

constructor in class CtrType

Parameters:

arg - The ResultSequence from which to extract the String

Returns:

New ResultSequence consisting of the supplied String

Throws:

DynamicError

eq

public boolean eq(AnyType arg)
           throws DynamicError

Equality comparison between this and the supplied representation which must be of type String

Specified by:

eq in interface CmpEq

Parameters:

arg - The representation to compare with

Returns:

True if the two representation are of the same String. False otherwise

Throws:

DynamicError

gt

public boolean gt(AnyType arg)
           throws DynamicError

Comparison between this and the supplied representation which must be of type String

Specified by:

gt in interface CmpGt

Parameters:

arg - The representation to compare with

Returns:

True if this String is lexographically greater than that supplied. False otherwise

Throws:

DynamicError

lt

public boolean lt(AnyType arg)
           throws DynamicError

Comparison between this and the supplied representation which must be of type String

Specified by:

lt in interface CmpLt

Parameters:

arg - The representation to compare with

Returns:

True if this String is lexographically less than that supplied. False otherwise

Throws:

DynamicError
