getTargetClassnameFromType

public static java.lang.String getTargetClassnameFromType(java.lang.String type)

xsi:type="fgca:deepSkyGX">
// More Target data goes here

If for example the type "fgca:deepSkyGX" would be passed to this method, it would return the classname: "de.lehmannet.om.deepSky.DeepSkyTarget". The classname may then be used to load the corresponding java class via java reflection API for a given schema element.

Parameters:

type - The xsi:type value which can be found at additional schema elements (can be a finding xsi:type or an target xsi_type)

Returns:

The corresponding target java classname for the given type, or null if the type could not be resolved.
