Class SchemaTypeDefinition

java.lang.Object
  com.bloomberglp.blpapi.SchemaTypeDefinition

public abstract class SchemaTypeDefinition
extends java.lang.Object

The definition of a type in the schema.

Each SchemaElementDefinition object has a SchemaTypeDefinition (which it may share with other SchemaElementDefinition objects). SchemaTypeDefinition objects are read-only and always created by the API, never by the application.

A SchemaTypeDefinition can define items which are either simple (that is, they are a single value) or a sequence or a choice Element (that is, they may contain an item or items which are accessed by name)

For sequence or choice items the SchemaTypeDefinition provides access to the individual SchemaElementDefinition objects that define each member of the sequence.

In addition, the SchemaTypeDefinition provides access to the symbolic name of the TypeDefinition, its description and its status.
