NAME

       SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::SimpleType - simpleType base class

DESCRIPTION

       This module implements a base class for designing simple type classes modelling XML Schema simpleType definitions.

SYNOPSIS

	   # example simpleType derived by restriction
	   # XSD would be:
	   # <simpleType name="MySimpleType">
	   #	<restriction base="xsd:string" />
	   # </simpleType>
	   package MySimpleType;
	   use Class::Std::Fast::Storable constructor => 'none';
	   # restriction base implemented via inheritance
	   use SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin;
	   use SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::SimpleType;
	   use base qw(
	       # derive by restriction
	       'SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::SimpleType::restriction',
	       # restriction base
	       'SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::string'
	   );

	   # example simpleType derived by list.
	   # XSD would be:
	   # <simpleType name="MySimpleListType">
	   #	<list itemTipe="xsd:string" />
	   # </simpleType>
	   package MySimpleListType;
	   use Class::Std::Fast::Storable constructor => 'none';
	   # restriction base implemented via inheritance
	   use SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin;
	   use base ('SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::SimpleType',
	       'SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::list',	 # derive by list
	       'SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::string'	 # list itemType
	   );

How to write your own simple type
       Writing a simple type class is easy - all you have to do is setting up the base classes correctly.

       The following rules apply:

       o   simpleType derived via list

	   simpleType classes derived via list must inherit from these classes in exactly this order:

	    SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::SimpleType
	    SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Builtin::list	    # derive by list
	    The::List::ItemType::Class			    # list itemType

	   The::List::ItemType::Class can either be a builtin class (see SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Builtin) or another simpleType class (any other class
	   implementing the right methods is supported too, but not for the faint of heart).

       o   simpleType derived via restriction

	   simpleType classes derived via restriction must inherit from these classes in exactly this order:

	    SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::SimpleType	       # you may leave this out
	    SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::SimpleType::restriction  # derive by restriction
	    The::Restriction::Base::Class		       # restriction base

	   The::Restriction::Base::Class can either be a builtin class (see SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Builtin) or another simpleType class.

	   The slight inconsistency between the these variants is caused by the restriction element, which has different meanings for simpleType
	   and complexType definitions.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

       o   Thread safety

	   SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::SimpleType uses Class::Std::Fast::Storable which uses Class::Std. Class::Std is not thread safe, so
	   SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::SimpleType is neither.

       o   union

	   union simple types are not supported yet.

       o   XML Schema facets

	   No facets are implemented yet.
