Category: None Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: Dimitris Kolovos (skountouflis) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Type of attributes Initial Comment: Maybe in a future release the Attr class could have a method that returs the DTD or XSD declared type of the attribute. This is something JDOM has (but only for DTD) and it would be helpful especially in the context of detecting IDs and IDREF(S)s ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bryan Thompson (thompsonbry) Date: 2004-09-07 13:14 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=916039 I also have a use case for this feature. I just did a jdom integration for an xpointer framework. It was a snap to use the Attribute.getAttributeType() method to identify when an attribute conveyed ID-ness. JDOM also got this right both for validating and non-validaing parsers for the internal subset (both MUST report the ID-ness) and for validating parsers for the external subset (a non-validating parser MAY report ID- ness specified in the external subset, but a validating parser MUST report it). See the introduction of <a href="http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/xmlIDsemantics- 32.html"> xmlIDSemantics-32 </a> for more details.
