double	double
int	int
short	short
long	long
byte	byte

Tags Supported for Complex Data Types (in Alphabetical Order)

XSD	Java
<attribute> (local)	Attributes of a class (including access methods)
<complexType> (global)	Class
<complexType> (local)	Inner class
<element maxOccurs="unbounded">	● Attributes of an (inner) class (including access methods) ● Inner table class

Only those tags permitted by the XSD editor are listed.

Limitation of value range (<pattern>, <enumeration>, <maxInclusive>, <maxExclusive>, and so on)	These tags are not taken into consideration by the proxy runtime; checking these properties is part of the task for validating the schema.
