Simple Java Types and Their XQuery Counterparts
The following outlines the mapping between simple Java types and the corresponding XQuery or schema types:
| Java Simple or Defined Type | XQuery/Schema Type |
|---|---|
| boolean | xs:boolean |
| byte | xs:byte |
| char | xs:char |
| double | xs:double |
| float | xs:float |
| int | xs:int |
| long | xs:long |
| short | xs:short |
| string | xd:string |
| java.lang.Date | xs:datetime |
| java.lang.Boolean | xs:boolean |
| java.math.BigInteger | xs:integer |
| java.math.BigDecimal | xs:decimal |
| java.lang.Byte | xs.byte |
| java.lang.Char | xs:char |
| java.lang.Double | xs:double |
| java.lang.Float | xs:float |
| java.lang.Integer | xs:integer |
| java.lang.Long | xs:long |
| java.lang.Short | xs:short |
| java.sql.Date | xs:date |
| java.sql.Time | xs:time |
| java.sql.Timestamp | xs:datetime |
| java.util.Calendar | xs:datetime |
Java functions can consume parameters and return values of the following types:
- Java primitives and types listed in the previous table
- Apache XMLBeans
- Oracle XMLBeans
- SDO DataObject (typed or untyped)
The elements or types referred to in the schema should be global elements.
