  Description copied from interface: `org.apache.xerces.xs.XSElementDeclaration`
  Value Constraint: Binding specific actual constraint value or `null` if the value is in error or there is no value constraint.
  Specified by:
    `getActualVC` in interface `org.apache.xerces.xs.XSElementDeclaration`
  Following copied from interface: `org.apache.xerces.xs.XSElementDeclaration`

### getActualVCType

    public short getActualVCType()

  Description copied from interface: `org.apache.xerces.xs.XSElementDeclaration`
  The actual constraint value built-in datatype, e.g. `STRING_DT, SHORT_DT`. If the type definition of this value is a list type definition, this method returns `LIST_DT`. If the type definition of this value is a list type definition whose item type is a union type definition, this method returns `LISTOFUNION_DT`. To query the actual constraint value of the list or list of union type definitions use `itemValueTypes`. If the `actualNormalizedValue` is `null`, this method returns `UNAVAILABLE_DT`.

  In the case the actual constraint value represents a list, i.e. the `actualValueType` is `LIST_DT`, the returned array consists of one type kind which represents the itemType. If the actual constraint value represents a list type definition whose item type is a union type definition, i.e. `LISTOFUNION_DT`, for each actual constraint value in the list the array contains the corresponding memberType kind. For examples, see `ItemPSVI.itemValueTypes`.
  Specified by:
    `getItemValueTypes` in interface `org.apache.xerces.xs.XSElementDeclaration`
  Following copied from interface: `org.apache.xerces.xs.XSElementDeclaration`
  Throws:
