Preparsing XML Schema data types in Xerces-J

[Henry Miller]

Another one from the "yet another newbie question" department...
I'm trying to preparse XML schema files and I've hit a snag that I 
just cannot figure out on my own.

Using Xerces-J, I'm able to get all the information out, except the 
element's data type. In fact, all I can get is the element name and 
nothing else.

Given the following XSD snippet:
    <element name="PriceRequest">
        <complexType>
            <all>
                <element name="Symbol" type="string"/>
                <element name="price" type="float"/>
            </all>
         </complexType>
    </element>
I managed to drill down through the Xerces-J methods and end up in 
the XSComplexTypeDecl class when I hit the problem. My code is 
complicated (made worse by my toying with it now), but hopefully the 
question is simple enough to answer: How can I get the data types out 
of the declared elements (as shown above) from the object context 
created by XSComplexTypeDecl? what method(s) do I need to connect 
together in order to extract it? Is there a 'set' list?

I guess that's three questions. I'm so lost... :-)
I'm able to get the element names from a particle list by parsing a 
string that returns all of them using getParticle() in 
XSComplexTypeDecl -- probably not the cleanest, but it works. Why 
doesn't XSComplexTypeDecl provide types here as well? I'm sure 
there's a reason which I don't yet see.

I'm not even sure what is relevant code to clip out for your viewing pleasure.
Any ideas?
