Please note that some complexTypes and simpleTypes have no names at all. > I know how to get an XXE ElementType > Element dataElement = ...; > DocumentType dataDocType = (DocumentType) dataElement > .getProperty(Constants.DOCUMENT_TYPE_PROPERTY); > ElementType dataXxeType = dataDocType.getElementType(dataElement); > > Now how do I obtain a concrete implementation of > com.xmlmind.xml.wxs.validate.Type from there? > > I keep browsing through the API without finding the link between the 2 > types of types. > There is no public API which allows to do this. Moreover, internally, this link is never needed, that's why there is simply no way to obtain it.
