      public class Wildcard
      extends SchemaStructure
      implements UserSchemaComponent, SerializableSchemaComponent, Term

    - #### Wildcard

          public Wildcard()

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### isInexpressible

          public boolean isInexpressible()

      Determine whether this wildcard represents an "inexpressible" intersection or union
      Returns:
        true if the intersection or union is inexpressible, as defined in XML Schema. This is essentially an error condition, so the wildcard should not be used if this property is true.

    - #### allowsAny

          public final boolean allowsAny()

      Determine whether this wildcard allows any namespace (##any)
      Returns:
        true if this wildcard allows any namespace

    - #### setNoNamespacesAllowed

          public void setNoNamespacesAllowed()

      Initialize the set of permitted namespaces to an empty set. This is needed in case the namespace attribute is present but empty; it indicates that no namespaces are allowed.

    - #### addAllowedNamespace

          public void addAllowedNamespace​(java.lang.String namespace)

      Add a permitted namespace. This must be an actual namespace, not one of the special tokens such as ##other; the non-namespace ("absent") is represented by the zero-length string. Validation of the namespace is the responsibility of the caller.
      Parameters:
        `namespace` - the namespace to add

    - #### addDisallowedNamespace

          public void addDisallowedNamespace​(java.lang.String namespace)

      Add a disallowed namespace. This corresponds to the option ##other.
      Parameters:
        `namespace` - the disallowed namespace to be added

    - #### getDisallowedNamespaces

          public java.util.Set<java.lang.String> getDisallowedNamespaces()

      Get the disallowed namespaces. Returns null if there is no disallowed namespace.
      Returns:
        the set of disallowed namespaces; may be null to represent the empty set

    - #### matches

          public boolean matches​(java.lang.String uri)

      Determine whether a particular namespace is allowed by this wildcard. This method ignores the QNames that have been explicitly disallowed (using notQNames)
      Parameters:
        `uri` - the namespace to be tested. Supply "" for the no-namespace.
      Returns:
        true if the wildcard allows this namespace, false if not.

    - #### matches

          public boolean matches​(StructuredQName name,
                                 boolean isElement,
                                 Configuration config,
                                 UserComplexType parentType)

      Determine whether a name is allowed by this wildcard. This method ignores the restrictions imposed by ##definedSiblings
      Parameters:
        `name` - the name to be tested
        `isElement` - true if looking for an element, false if looking for an attribute
        `config` - the Saxon configuration
        `parentType` - the governing type definition of the parent element, used to assess whether the ##definedSibling constraint prevents an element from matching. May be null, in which case ##definedSibling is ignored.
      Returns:
        true if the wildcard allows this name, false if not.

      Create an AttributeWildcard as the intersection of two AttributeWildcards. For internal use only.

      In XML Schema 1.1, the intersection of two wildcards is always expressible. The resulting wildcard might not be expressible using XML Schema 1.0, however.

      Parameters:
        `wat1` - the first operand: the processContents is taken from this operand
        `wat2` - the second operand
        `pool` - the NamePool
      Returns:
        a new AttributeWildcard representing the intersection, as defined in Schema Component Constraint: Attribute Wildcard Intersection; if the intersection "is not expressible" this will be flagged as such, for later rejection by the validator.

    - #### makeUnion

          public static Wildcard makeUnion​(Wildcard wat1,
                                           Wildcard wat2,

      Create a AttributeWildcard as the union of two AttributeWildcards. For internal use only.
      Parameters:
        `wat1` - the first operand: the processContents is taken from this operand
        `wat2` - the second operand
        `pool` - the Name Pool
      Returns:
        a new AttributeWildcard representing the union, as defined in Schema Component Constraint: Attribute Wildcard Union; if the union "is not expressible" then the result will be marked as such, for later use by the validator.

    - #### serialize

          public void serialize​(SchemaModelSerializer serializer)
                         throws XPathException

      Serialize this schema component
      Specified by:
        `serialize` in interface `SerializableSchemaComponent`
      Parameters:
        `serializer` - the object responsible for performing the serialization
      Throws:
        `XPathException` - if serialization fails

    - #### getComponentAsFunction

          public Function getComponentAsFunction()

      Description copied from interface: `SchemaComponent`
      Get the schema component in the form of a function item. This allows schema information to be made visible to XSLT or XQuery code. The function makes available the contents of the schema component as defined in the XSD specification. The function takes a string as argument representing a property name, and returns the corresponding property of the schema component. There is also a property "class" which returns the kind of schema component, for example "Attribute Declaration".
      Specified by:
        `getComponentAsFunction` in interface `SchemaComponent`
      Returns:
        the schema component represented as a function from property names to property values.
