Abstract:
1. A method for defining an environment-specific XML type, the method comprising: defining, in a computing environment, an unambiguous environment-specific XML Schema name space wherein the environment-specific XML Schema namespace disambiguates the environment-specific type from other types defined by another environment; defining, in the environment-specific name space, an environment-specific XML base type, wherein the environment-specific XML base type (a) is based on an XML base type, (b) is not defined by annotation and (c) permits derivation of behavior associated therewith; defining the environment-specific XML base type with an XML Schema type facet that applies to a derivative of the environment-specific XML base type; and deriving an anonymous environment-specific final type, on an as-needed basis, from the environment-specific XML base type.
