A.3 Simple Type Mappings

This section describes the XML Schema type to C++ type mapping that HydraExpress uses. If you are mapping to a version of SourcePro other than SourcePro 6.0, see Section A.3.1. Table 15 describes the mapping for XML Schema primitive datatypes

Table 15: Mapping of built-in schema types to C++ types

Built-in XML Schema Type	SourcePro C++ Type	Standard C++ Library Type
`string`	*RWCString*	`std::string`
`boolean`	`bool`	`bool`
`decimal`	*RWDecimalPortable*	`std::string`
`float`	`float`	`float`
`double`	`double`	`double`
`duration`	*rwsf::TimeSpan*¹	`std::string`
`dateTime`	*RWDateTime*	`std::string`
`time`	*RWDateTime*	`std::string`
`date`	*RWDate*	`std::string`
`gYearMonth`	*RWCString*	`std::string`
`gYear`	*RWCString*	`std::string`
`gMonthDay`	*RWCString*	`std::string`
`gDay`	*RWCString*	`std::string`
`gMonth`	*RWCString*	`std::string`
`hexBinary`	*RWCString*	`std::string`
`base64Binary`	*RWCString*	`std::string`
`anyURI`	*RWCString*	`std::string`
`QName`	*RWCString*	`std::string`
`Notation`	*RWCString*	`std::string`
`normalizedString`	*RWCString*	`std::string`
`token`	*RWCString*	`std::string`
`byte`	`short`	`short`
`unsigned byte`	`unsigned short`	`unsigned short`
`integer`	*RWDecimalPortable*	`std::string`
`positiveInteger`	*RWDecimalPortable*	`std::string`
`negativeInteger`	*RWDecimalPortable*	`std::string`
`nonNegativeInteger`	*RWDecimalPortable*	`std::string`
`nonPositiveInteger`	*RWDecimalPortable*	`std::string`
`int`	`int`	`int`
`unsignedInt`	`unsigned int`	`unsigned int`
`long`	`long`	`long`
`unsignedLong`	`unsigned long`	`unsigned long`
`short`	`short`	`short`
`unsignedShort`	`unsigned short`	`unsigned short`
`Name`	*RWCString*	`std::string`
`NCName`	*RWCString*	`std::string`
`language`	*RWCString*	`std::string`
`ID`	*RWCString*	`std::string`
`IDREF`	*RWCString*	`std::string`
`IDREFS`	*RWCString*	`std::string`
`ENTITY`	*RWCString*	`std::string`
`ENTITIES`	*RWCString*	`std::string`
`NMTOKEN`	*RWCString*	`std::string`

For duration, the mapping is to a HydraExpress Library class because there is no good equivalent in SourcePro.

A.3.1 Mapping to Datatypes from Previous SourcePro Editions

If you are mapping to SourcePro datatypes from a version earlier than SourcePro 6.0, you may need to customize your mapping. For instance, if your installation uses RWTime instead of RWDateTime, you will want to map to RWTime instead.

For example, the following classes were added to the Essential Tools Module in recent releases:

RWDateTime
RWDecimalPortable

To customize your datatypes, create a configuration file specifying your new mapping. For more information, see Section 8.8, "Creating Customized Mappings," in the HydraExpress XML Binding Development Guide.
