Class SchemaPath

java.lang.Object
  org.dlese.dpc.schemedit.config.SchemaPath

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class SchemaPath
extends Object
implements Serializable

Provides information about a schema element that is not expressed in the XML Schema, but that is helpful in displaying and editing documents within a framework.

For example, a SchemaPath provides information when a new metadata record is created or copied, such as which elements should be blanked out, which are required by the Indexer, and which should be displayed as read-only fields in the metadata editor.

SchemaPath instances are created by the FrameworkConfigReader as it reads the configuration file for a particular framework. These SchemaPath instances are stored in a SchemaPathMap structure, which is used mainly by the MetaDataFramework class.
