    - #### monitor

          public final Object monitor()

      Description copied from interface: `XmlTokenSource`
      Returns the synchronization object for the document. If concurrent multithreaded access to a document is required, the access should should be protected by synchronizing on this monitor() object. There is one monitor per XML document tree.
      Specified by:
        `monitor` in interface `XmlTokenSource`

    - #### copy

          public final XmlObject copy()

      Description copied from interface: `XmlObject`
      Returns a deep copy of this XmlObject. The returned object has the same type as the current object, and has all the content of the XML document underneath the current object. Note that any parts of the XML document above or outside this XmlObject are not copied.

      Note: The result object will be in the same synchronization domain as the source, and additional synchronization is required for concurrent access. To use a different synchronization domain use setCopyUseNewSynchronizationDomain option with copy(XmlOptions) method.

      Specified by:
        `copy` in interface `XmlObject`
      See Also:
        `XmlObject.copy(XmlOptions)`, `XmlOptions.setCopyUseNewSynchronizationDomain(boolean)`

    - #### copy

          public final XmlObject copy(XmlOptions options)

      Description copied from interface: `XmlObject`
      Returns a deep copy of this XmlObject. The returned object has the same type as the current object, and has all the content of the XML document underneath the current object. Note that any parts of the XML document above or outside this XmlObject are not copied.

      Note: The result object will be in the same synchronization domain as the source, and additional synchronization is required for concurrent access. To use a different synchronization domain use setCopyUseNewSynchronizationDomain option when creating the original XmlObject.

      Specified by:
        `copy` in interface `XmlObject`
      See Also:
        `XmlOptions.setCopyUseNewSynchronizationDomain(boolean)`

    - #### _copy

          public final XmlObject _copy()

      Same as copy() but unsynchronized. Warning: Using this method in mutithreaded environment can cause invalid states.

    - #### _copy

          public final XmlObject _copy(XmlOptions xmlOptions)

      Same as copy() but unsynchronized. If Locale.COPY_USE_NEW_LOCALE is set in the options, a new locale will be created for the copy. Warning: Using this method in mutithreaded environment can cause invalid states.

    - #### documentProperties

          public XmlDocumentProperties documentProperties()

      Description copied from interface: `XmlTokenSource`
      Returns the XmlDocumentProperties object for the document this token source is associated with.
      Specified by:
        `documentProperties` in interface `XmlTokenSource`

    - #### newXMLStreamReader

          public XMLStreamReader newXMLStreamReader()

      Description copied from interface: `XmlTokenSource`
      Returns a new XMLStreamReader.

      The stream starts at the current begin-tag or begin-document position and ends at the matching end-tag or end-document.

      This is a fail-fast stream, so if the underlying data is changed while the stream is being read, the stream throws a ConcurrentModificationException.

      Specified by:
        `newXMLStreamReader` in interface `XmlTokenSource`

    - #### newXMLStreamReader

          public XMLStreamReader newXMLStreamReader(XmlOptions options)

      Description copied from interface: `XmlTokenSource`
      Returns a new XMLStreamReader.

      The stream starts at the current begin-tag or begin-document position and ends at the matching end-tag or end-document.

      This is a fail-fast stream, so if the underlying data is changed while the stream is being read, the stream throws a ConcurrentModificationException.

      Throws an IllegalStateException if the XmlTokenSource is not positioned at begin-tag or begin-document (e.g., if it is at an attribute).

      To specify this | Use this method
      --- | ---
      The character encoding to use when converting the character data in the XML to bytess. | `XmlOptions.setCharacterEncoding(java.lang.String)`
      Prefix-to-namespace mappings that should be assumed when saving this XML. This is useful when the resulting XML will be part of a larger XML document, ensuring that this inner document will take advantage of namespaces defined in the outer document. | `XmlOptions.setSaveImplicitNamespaces(java.util.Map<java.lang.String, java.lang.String>)`
      Suggested namespace prefixes to use when saving. Used only when a namespace attribute needs to be synthesized. | `XmlOptions.setSaveSuggestedPrefixes(java.util.Map<java.lang.String, java.lang.String>)`
      That namespace attributes should occur first in elements when the XML is saved. By default, they occur last. | `XmlOptions.setSaveNamespacesFirst()`
      The XML should be pretty printed when saved. Note that this should only be used for debugging. | `XmlOptions.setSavePrettyPrint()`
      The number of spaces to use when indenting for pretty printing. The default is 2. | `XmlOptions.setSavePrettyPrintIndent(int)`
      The additional number of spaces indented from the left for pretty printed XML. | `XmlOptions.setSavePrettyPrintOffset(int)`
      To minimize the number of namespace attributes generated for the saved XML. Note that this can reduce performance significantly. | `XmlOptions.setSaveAggressiveNamespaces()`
      To reduce the size of the saved document by allowing the use of the default namespace. Note that this can potentially change the semantic meaning of the XML if unprefixed QNames are present as the value of an attribute or element. | `XmlOptions.setUseDefaultNamespace()`
      To filter out processing instructions with the specified target name. | `XmlOptions.setSaveFilterProcinst(java.lang.String)`
      Change the QName of the synthesized root element when saving. This replaces "xml-fragment" with "fragment" in the namespace http://www.openuri.org/fragment | `XmlOptions.setSaveUseOpenFrag()`
      Saving should begin on the element's contents. | `XmlOptions.setSaveInner()`
      Saving should begin on the element, rather than its contents. | `XmlOptions.setSaveOuter()`
      To rename the document element, or to specify the document element for this XML. | `XmlOptions.setSaveSyntheticDocumentElement(javax.xml.namespace.QName)`

      Specified by:
        `newXMLStreamReader` in interface `XmlTokenSource`
      Parameters:

    - #### newInputStream

          public InputStream newInputStream()

      Description copied from interface: `XmlTokenSource`
      Returns a new stream containing standard XML text, encoded according to the given encoding.

      The byte stream contains contents starting at the current begin-tag or begin-document and ending at the matching end-tag or end-document. The specified encoding is used and also emitted in a PI at the beginning of the stream.

      This is a fail-fast stream, so if the underlying data is changed while the stream is being read, the stream throws a ConcurrentModificationException.

      Throws an IllegalStateException if the XmlTokenSource is not positioned at begin-tag or begin-document (e.g., if it is at an attribute).

    - #### newReader

          public Reader newReader()

      Description copied from interface: `XmlTokenSource`
      Returns a new character reader containing XML text.

      The contents of the reader represents the document contents starting at the current begin-tag or begin-document and ending at the matching end-tag or end-document. No encoding annotation will be made in the text itself.

      This is a fail-fast reader, so if the underlying data is changed while the reader is being read, the reader throws a ConcurrentModificationException.

      Throws an IllegalStateException if the XmlTokenSource is not positioned at begin-tag or begin-document (e.g., if it is at an attribute).

    - #### getDomNode

          public Node getDomNode()

      Description copied from interface: `XmlTokenSource`
      Returns a W3C DOM Node containing the XML represented by this source. This is a live DOM node, not a copy. Any changes made through this node are immediately reflected in the document associated with this token source. Depending on the kind of token this XmlTokenSource represents, an appropriate node will be returned.
      Specified by:
        `getDomNode` in interface `XmlTokenSource`

    - #### newDomNode

          public Node newDomNode()

      Description copied from interface: `XmlTokenSource`
      Returns a W3C DOM Node containing the XML represented by this source. This is a copy of the XML, it is not a live with the underlying store of this token source. If this is the document node, then a Document is returned, else a DocumentFragment is returned.
      Specified by:
        `newDomNode` in interface `XmlTokenSource`

      Prints to stdout the state of the document in which this token source is positioned. This is very implementation specific and may change at any time. Dump can be useful for debugging purposes. It is very different from the save methods which produce XML text which only approximates the actual state of the document.

    - #### newCursorForce

          public XmlCursor newCursorForce()

    - #### newCursor

          public XmlCursor newCursor()

      Description copied from interface: `XmlTokenSource`
      Returns a new XML cursor.

      A cursor provides random access to all the tokens in the XML data, plus the ability to extract strongly-typed XmlObjects for the data. If the data is not read-only, the XML cursor also allows modifications to the data.

      Using a cursor for the first time typically forces the XML document into memory.

        The schema type for this instance. This is a permanent, unchanging property of the instance.

    - #### instanceType

          public SchemaType instanceType()

      Description copied from interface: `SimpleValue`
      The same as getSchemaType unless this is a union instance or nil value.

      For unions, this returns the non-union consituent type of this instance. This type may change if setters are called that cause the instance to change to another constituent type of the union.

      For nil values, this returns null.

      Specified by:
        `instanceType` in interface `SimpleValue`

    - #### validate

          public boolean validate()

      Description copied from interface: `XmlObject`
      Does a deep validation of the entire subtree under the object, but does not validate the parents or siblings of the object if the object is in the interior of an xml tree.
      Specified by:
        `validate` in interface `XmlObject`
      Returns:
        true if the contents of this object are valid according to schemaType().

    - #### validate

          public boolean validate(XmlOptions options)

      Description copied from interface: `XmlObject`

      Just like validate(), but with options.

      If you wish to collect error messages and locations while validating, use the `XmlOptions.setErrorListener(java.util.Collection<org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlError>)` method. With that method, you can specify an object in which to store messages related to validation. The following is a simple example.

           // Create an XmlOptions instance and set the error listener.
           XmlOptions validateOptions = new XmlOptions();
           ArrayList errorList = new ArrayList();
           validateOptions.setErrorListener(errorList);

           // Validate the XML.
           boolean isValid = newEmp.validate(validateOptions);

           // If the XML isn't valid, loop through the listener's contents,
           // printing contained messages.
           if (!isValid)
           {
                for (int i = 0; i < errorList.size(); i++)
                {
                    XmlError error = (XmlError)errorList.get(i);

                    System.out.println("\n");
                    System.out.println("Message: " + error.getMessage() + "\n");
                    System.out.println("Location of invalid XML: " +
                        error.getCursorLocation().xmlText() + "\n");
                }
           }

      Specified by:
        `validate` in interface `XmlObject`
      Parameters:
        `options` - An object that implements the `Collection` interface.
      Returns:
        true if the contents of this object are valid according to schemaType().

    - #### validate_simpleval

          protected void validate_simpleval(String lexical,
                                            ValidationContext ctx)

    - #### selectPath

          public XmlObject[] selectPath(String path)

      Description copied from interface: `XmlObject`
      Selects a path. Path can be a string or precompiled path String.

      The path must be a relative path, where "." represents the element or attribute containing this XmlObject, and it must select only other elements or attributes. If a non-element or non-attribute is selected, an unchecked exception is thrown.

      The array that is returned contains all the selected XmlObjects, within the same document, listed in document order. The actual array type of the result is inferred from the closest common base type of selected results.

      Here is an example of usage. Suppose we have a global element definition for "owner" whose type is "person":

             <schema targetNamespace="http://openuri.org/sample">
                <element name="owner" type="person"/>
                <complexType name="person">
                   [...]
                </complexType>
             </schema>

      and suppose "owner" tags can be scattered throughout the document. Then we can write the following code to find them all:

           import org.openuri.sample.Person;
           import org.apache.xmlbeans.*;
           [...]
             XmlObject xobj = XmlObject.Factory.parse(myFile);
             Person[] results;
             results = (Person[])xobj.selectPath(
                "declare namespace s='http://www.openuri.org/sample' " +
                ".//s:owner");

      Notice the way in which namespace declarations are done in XPath 2.0. Since XPath can only navigate within an XML document - it cannot construct new XML - the resulting XmlObjects all reside in the same XML document as this XmlObject itself.

      Specified by:
        `selectPath` in interface `XmlObject`
      Parameters:
        `path` - the xpath
      Returns:
        an array of all selected XmlObjects

    - #### selectPath

          public XmlObject[] selectPath(String path,
                                        XmlOptions options)

      Description copied from interface: `XmlObject`
      Selects a path, applying options.
      Specified by:
        `selectPath` in interface `XmlObject`
      Parameters:
        `path` - the xpath
        `options` - the options used to execute the xpath
      Returns:
        an array of all selected XmlObjects

    - #### execQuery

          public XmlObject[] execQuery(String path)

      Description copied from interface: `XmlObject`
      Executes a query. Query can be a string or precompiled query String.

      An XQuery is very similar to an XPath, except that it also permits construction of new XML. As a result, the XmlObjects that are returned from execQuery are in newly created documents, separate from the XmlObject on which the query is executed.

      Syntax and usage is otherwise similar to selectPath.

      Specified by:
        `execQuery` in interface `XmlObject`
      Parameters:
        `path` - The XQuery expression
      Returns:
        an array of all selected XmlObjects
      See Also:
        `XmlObject.selectPath(String)`

    - #### execQuery

          public XmlObject[] execQuery(String queryExpr,
                                       XmlOptions options)

      Description copied from interface: `XmlObject`
      Executes a query with options.

      Use the options parameter to specify the following:

      To specify this | Use this method
      --- | ---
      The document type for the root element. | `XmlOptions.setDocumentType(org.apache.xmlbeans.SchemaType)`
      To replace the document element with the specified QName when constructing the resulting document. | `XmlOptions.setLoadReplaceDocumentElement(javax.xml.namespace.QName)`
      To strip all insignificant whitespace when constructing a document. | `XmlOptions.setLoadStripWhitespace()`
      To strip all comments when constructing a document. | `XmlOptions.setLoadStripComments()`
      To strip all processing instructions when constructing a document. | `XmlOptions.setLoadStripProcinsts()`
      A map of namespace URI substitutions to use when constructing a document. | `XmlOptions.setLoadSubstituteNamespaces(java.util.Map<java.lang.String, java.lang.String>)`
      Additional namespace mappings to be added when constructing a document. | `XmlOptions.setLoadAdditionalNamespaces(java.util.Map<java.lang.String, java.lang.String>)`
      To trim the underlying XML text buffer immediately after constructing a document, resulting in a smaller memory footprint. | `XmlOptions.setLoadTrimTextBuffer()`
      Whether value facets should be checked as they are set. | `XmlOptions.setValidateOnSet()`

      Specified by:
        `execQuery` in interface `XmlObject`
      Parameters:
        `queryExpr` - The XQuery expression.
        `options` - Options as described.
      Returns:
        an array of all selected XmlObjects
      See Also:
        `XmlObject.execQuery(String)`

    - #### changeType

          public XmlObject changeType(SchemaType type)

      Description copied from interface: `XmlObject`
      Changes the schema type associated with this data and returns a new XmlObject instance whose schemaType is the new type.

      Returns the new XmlObject if the type change was successful, the old XmlObject if no changes could be made.

      Certain type changes may be prohibited in the interior of an xml tree due to schema type system constraints (that is, due to a parent container within which the newly specified type is not permissible), but there are no constraints at the roottype changes are never prohibited at the root of an xml tree.

      If the type change is allowed, then the new XmlObject should be used rather than the old one. The old XmlObject instance and any other XmlObject instances in the subtree are permanently invalidated and should not be used. (They will return XmlValueDisconnectedException if you try to use them.)

      If a type change is done on the interior of an Xml tree, then xsi:type attributes are updated as needed.

      Specified by:
        `changeType` in interface `XmlObject`
      Returns:
        a new XmlObject instance whose schemaType is the new type

    - #### substitute

          public XmlObject substitute(QName name,
                                      SchemaType type)

      Description copied from interface: `XmlObject`
      Changes the schema type associated with this data using substitution groups and returns an XmlObject instance whose schemaType is the new type and container name is the new name.

      Returns the new XmlObject if the substitution was successful, the old XmlObject if no changes could be made.

      In order for the operation to succeed, several conditions must hold:
      - the container of this type must be an element
      - a global element with the name `newName` must exist and must be in the substitution group of the containing element
      - the `newType` type must be consistent with the declared type of the new element

      If the type change is allowed, then the new XmlObject should be used rather than the old one. The old XmlObject instance and any other XmlObject instances in the subtree are permanently invalidated and should not be used. (They will return XmlValueDisconnectedException if you try to use them.) If necessary, xsi:type attributes are updated.

      Specified by:
        `substitute` in interface `XmlObject`
      Parameters:
        `name` - the new name
        `type` - the new type
      Returns:
        an XmlObject instance whose schemaType is the new type and container name is the new name

      True if the value is fixed.

    - #### isNillable

          public final boolean isNillable()

      True if the value is allowed to be nil.

    - #### isDefaultable

          public final boolean isDefaultable()

      True if the value is currently defaulted.

    - #### isDefault

          public final boolean isDefault()

      True if the value is currently defaulted.

    - #### setNil

          public final void setNil()

      Nils the value.
      Specified by:
        `setNil` in interface `XmlObject`

    - #### elementFlags

          protected int elementFlags()

      Used for situations where these flags must be passed on to chained values. (See XmlAnySimpleType (allSimpleValue), union implementations).

    - #### setImmutable

          public void setImmutable()

      Used to make a free-standing xml simple value instance immutable. This is a one-way street, and it is illegal to attempt to make a value that is embedded in an xml document immutable.

      Once a value is marked as immutable, it is illegal to call setters of any kind.

    - #### isImmutable

          public boolean isImmutable()

      Is this instance an immutable value?
      Specified by:
        `isImmutable` in interface `XmlObject`
      Returns:
        true if the value is an immutable value.

    - #### attach_store

          public final void attach_store(TypeStore store)

      Called to initialize the TypeStore associated with this XmlObject implementation. If not called, this is a free-floating value holder.

      When a value is first attached, it is put in a completely invalidated state.

      Specified by:
        `attach_store` in interface `TypeStoreUser`

    - #### invalidate_value

          public final void invalidate_value()

      Specified by:
        `invalidate_value` in interface `TypeStoreUser`

    - #### uses_invalidate_value

          public final boolean uses_invalidate_value()

      Description copied from interface: `TypeStoreUser`
      A store can call uses_invalidate_value to know if calls to invalidate_value will be fruitful. If uses_invalidate_value returns false, invalidate_value need never be called.
      Specified by:
        `uses_invalidate_value` in interface `TypeStoreUser`

    - #### invalidate_nilvalue

          public final void invalidate_nilvalue()

      Called by a TypeStore to indicate that the xsi:nil attribute on the containing element (and possibly the text) has been invalidated and both should be consulted next time the value is needed.
      Specified by:
        `invalidate_nilvalue` in interface `TypeStoreUser`

    - #### invalidate_element_order

          public final void invalidate_element_order()

      Called by a TypeStore to indicate that the element's default value, nillability, fixedness, etc, may have changed by virtue of the element order changing (and xsi:nil and the text may have changed too); so the store should be consulted next time any setter or getter is called.
      Specified by:
        `invalidate_element_order` in interface `TypeStoreUser`

    - #### get_store

          public final TypeStore get_store()

    - #### build_text

          public final String build_text(NamespaceManager nsm)

      Called by a TypeStore to pull out the most reasonable text value from us. This is done after we have invalidated the store (typically when our value has been set).
      Specified by:
        `build_text` in interface `TypeStoreUser`

    - #### build_nil

          public boolean build_nil()

      A store will call back on build_nil after we've called invalidate_nil and it needs to know what the nil value is.
      Specified by:
        `build_nil` in interface `TypeStoreUser`

    - #### validate_now

          public void validate_now()

      A store will call back on validate_now to force us to look at the text if we're in an invalid state. We're allowed to throw an exception if the text isn't valid for our type.
      Specified by:
        `validate_now` in interface `TypeStoreUser`

    - #### disconnect_store

          public void disconnect_store()

      A store calls back here in order to force a disconnect. After this is done, the object should be considered invalid. Any attempt to access or set a value should result in an exception.

      Note that this is how we handle deletions and xsi:type changes.

      Specified by:
        `disconnect_store` in interface `TypeStoreUser`

    - #### create_element_user

          public TypeStoreUser create_element_user(QName eltName,
                                                   QName xsiType)

      A typestore user can create a new TypeStoreUser instance for a given element child name as long as you also pass the qname contained by the xsi:type attribute, if any.

      Note that we will ignore the xsiType if it turns out to be invalid.

      Returns null if there is no strongly typed information for that given element (which implies, recusively, no strongly typed information downwards).

      Specified by:
        `create_element_user` in interface `TypeStoreUser`

    - #### create_attribute_user

          public TypeStoreUser create_attribute_user(QName attrName)

    - #### get_default_element_text

          public String get_default_element_text(QName eltName)

      Returns the default element text, if it's consistent. If it's not consistent, returns null, and requires a visitor walk.

      Also returns null if there is no default at all (although that can also be discovered via get_elementflags without doing a walk).

      Specified by:
        `get_default_element_text` in interface `TypeStoreUser`

    - #### get_default_attribute_text

          public String get_default_attribute_text(QName attrName)

      Specified by:
        `is_child_element_order_sensitive` in interface `TypeStoreUser`

    - #### get_element_ending_delimiters

          public final QNameSet get_element_ending_delimiters(QName eltname)

      Inserting a new element is always unambiguous except in one situation: when adding an element after the last one with that name (or the first one if there are none).

      In that case, add the element at the first possible slot BEFORE any element whose qname is contained in the QNameSet given. (If the QNameSet is empty, that means add the new element at the very end.)

      If the returned QNameSet is null, treat it as if the QNameSet contained all QNames, i.e., add the new element at the very first position possible (adjacent to the last element of the same name, or at the very first slot if it is the first elt with that name).

      Specified by:
        `get_element_ending_delimiters` in interface `TypeStoreUser`

    - #### new_visitor

          public TypeStoreVisitor new_visitor()

    - #### set_String

          protected void set_String(String v)

      Setting a string preserves any noncanonical literal representation. This is done by storing the actual string in the underlying store after checking it against the primitive type for validity.

    - #### update_from_complex_content

          protected void update_from_complex_content()

      Update the value based on complex content.

    - #### is_defaultable_ws

          protected boolean is_defaultable_ws(String v)

      Types should return false if they don't treat the given whitespace as a default value.

    - #### get_wscanon_rule

          protected int get_wscanon_rule()

      Returns the whitespace rule that will be applied before building a string to pass to get_text().

      Overridden by subclasses that don't need their text for set_text canonicalized; perhaps they already implement scanners that can deal with whitespace, and they know they have no regex pattern restrictions.

    - #### is_orphaned

          protected final boolean is_orphaned()

      Describes the orphaned status of this object.

    - #### check_orphaned

          protected final void check_orphaned()

      Called before every getter and setter on the strongly typed classes to ensure that the object has not been orphaned.

    - #### check_dated

          public final void check_dated()

      Called prior to every get operation, to ensure that the value being read is valid. If the value has been invalidated, it is re-read from the underlying text store, and this may cause an out of range exception.

      This method deals with nils, nillability, defaults, etc.

    - #### get_wscanon_text

          public final String get_wscanon_text()

      Grabs the undelying litral representation, applying the implementation's wscanon rule. Null if not simple content.

    - #### set_text

          protected abstract void set_text(String text)

      This should set the value of the type from text, or throw an XmlValueOutOfRangeException if it can't.

    - #### set_nil

          protected abstract void set_nil()

      This should clear the value, and set it to whatever is supposed to be returned when the value is nilled.

    - #### compute_text

          protected abstract String compute_text(NamespaceManager nsm)

      This should return the canonical string value of the primitive. Only called when non-nil.

    - #### toString

          public final String toString()

      Description copied from interface: `XmlObject`
      The string is pretty-printed. If you want a non-pretty-printed string, or if you want to control options precisely, use the xmlText() methods.

      Note that when producing XML any object other than very root of the document, then you are guaranteed to be looking at only a fragment of XML, i.e., just the contents of an element or attribute, and and we will produce a string that starts with an `<xml-fragment>` tag. The XmlOptions.setSaveOuter() option on xmlText can be used to produce the actual element name above the object if you wish.

      Specified by:
        `toString` in interface `XmlObject`
      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `Object`
      Returns:
        a XML string for this XML object.

    - #### xmlText

          public String xmlText()

      Description copied from interface: `XmlTokenSource`
      Returns standard XML text.

      The text returned represents the document contents starting at the current begin-tag or begin-document and ending at the matching end-tag or end-document. This is same content as newReader, but it is returned as a single string.

      Throws an IllegalStateException if the XmlTokenSource is not positioned at begin-tag or begin-document (e.g., if it is at an attribute).

      Note that this method does not produce XML with the XML declaration, including the encoding information. To save the XML declaration with the XML, see `XmlTokenSource.save(OutputStream)` or `XmlTokenSource.save(OutputStream, XmlOptions)`.

      Specified by:
        `xmlText` in interface `XmlTokenSource`

    - #### xmlText

          public String xmlText(XmlOptions options)

      Description copied from interface: `XmlTokenSource`
      Just like xmlText() but with options. Options map may be null.

      Note that this method does not produce XML with the XML declaration, including the encoding information. To save the XML declaration with the XML, see `XmlTokenSource.save(OutputStream)` or `XmlTokenSource.save(OutputStream, XmlOptions)`.

    - #### valueEquals

          public final boolean valueEquals(XmlObject xmlobj)

      Description copied from interface: `XmlObject`
      True if the xml values are equal. Two different objects (which are distinguished by equals(obj) == false) may of course have equal values (valueEquals(obj) == true).

      Usually this method can be treated as an ordinary equivalence relation, but actually it is not is not transitive. Here is a precise specification:

      There are two categories of XML object: objects with a known instance type, and objects whose only known type is one of the ur-types (either AnyType or AnySimpleType). The first category is compared in terms of logical value spaces, and the second category is compared lexically.

      Within each of these two categories, valueEquals is a well-behaved equivalence relation. However, when comparing an object of known type with an object with ur-type, the comparison is done by attempting to convert the lexical form of the ur-typed object into the other type, and then comparing the results. Ur-typed objects are therefore treated as lexical wildcards and may be equal to objects in different value spaces, even though the objects in different value spaces are not equal to each other.

      For example, the anySimpleType value "1" will compare as an equalValue to the string "1", the float value "1.0", the double value "1.0", the decimal "1", and the GYear "1", even though all these objects will compare unequal to each other since they lie in different value spaces. Note: as of XMLBeans 2.2.1 only implemented for simple type values.

        `valueEquals` in interface `XmlObject`

    - #### compareTo

          public final int compareTo(Object obj)

      Implements Comparable. This compareTo is inconsistent with equals unless isImmutable() is true.
      Specified by:
        `compareTo` in interface `XmlObject`

    - #### compareValue

          public final int compareValue(XmlObject xmlobj)

      Description copied from interface: `XmlObject`
      This comparison method is similar to compareTo, but rather than throwing a ClassCastException when two values are incomparable, it returns the number 2. The result codes are -1 if this object is less than obj, 1 if this object is greater than obj, zero if the objects are equal, and 2 if the objects are incomparable.
      Specified by:
        `compareValue` in interface `XmlObject`

    - #### compare_to

          protected int compare_to(XmlObject xmlobj)

      This implementation of compare_to is allowed to do two unusual things: (1) it can assume that the xmlobj passed has a primitive type underlying the instance type that matches the current instance, and that neither is nil. (2) it is allowed to return 2 for "incomparable"; it should not throw an exception.

    - #### writeReplace

          public Object writeReplace()

      This method can writeReplace either an unwrapped XmlObjectBase or an XBean proxy. A "true" argument means unwrapped.

      The serialization strategy for XmlObjects is this:

      (1) Only the root XmlObject for a document actually gets fully serialized; it is serialized as a SerializedRootObject, which simply saves itself as XML text.

      (2) Interior XmlObjects get serialized as a reference to the root XmlObject for their document, plus an integer which indicates the position of the XmlObject within the owner document. This pair is stored as a SerializedInteriorObject.

      Both objects can be maked as wrapped or unwrapped. If wrapped, then the proxy is returned when deserializing; if unwrapped, then the proxy is stripped when deserializing.
