<PRE>
int <B>getTypeIndex</B>(java.lang.String&nbsp;type)</PRE>
<DL>
<DD>Get mapped class index from type name for abstract non-base mappings
 included in the binding. This is intended to allow identifying and using
 abstract mappings (basically type mappings) at runtime. The method is
 only returns a non-negative result if the "force-classes" option is used
 for the binding definition (since otherwise no marshaller/unmarshaller
 classes are created for abstract non-base mappings).

<DT><B>Parameters:</B><DD><CODE>type</CODE> - fully-qualified class or type name
<DT><B>Returns:</B><DD>mapping index for type, or <code>-1</code> if type is not an
