ParentNodeConstructor

public ParentNodeConstructor()

Method Detail

setBaseURI

public void setBaseURI(String uri)

getBaseURI

public String getBaseURI()

setLazyConstruction

public void setLazyConstruction(boolean lazy)

Indicate that lazy construction should (or should not) be used

Parameters:

lazy - set to true if lazy construction should be used

isLazyConstruction

public final boolean isLazyConstruction()

Establish whether lazy construction is to be used

setSchemaType

public void setSchemaType(SchemaType type)

Set the schema type to be used for validation

getSchemaType

public SchemaType getSchemaType()

Get the schema type chosen for validation; null if not defined

isNamespaceSensitive

public boolean isNamespaceSensitive()

Determine whether the schema type is namespace sensitive. The result is undefined if schemaType is null.

setValidationMode

public void setValidationMode(int mode)

Set the validation mode for the new element

getValidationMode

public int getValidationMode()

Get the validation mode for this instruction

Returns:

the validation mode, for example Validation.STRICT or Validation.PRESERVE

setContentExpression

public void setContentExpression(Expression content)

Set the expression that constructs the content of the element

getContentExpression

public Expression getContentExpression()

Get the expression that constructs the content of the element

computeCardinality

public int computeCardinality()

Get the cardinality of the sequence returned by evaluating this instruction

Overrides:

computeCardinality in class Instruction

Returns:

the static cardinality

simplify

public Expression simplify(StaticContext env)
                    throws XPathException

Simplify an expression. This performs any static optimization (by rewriting the expression as a different expression). The default implementation does nothing.

Specified by:

simplify in class Instruction

Returns:

the simplified expression

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting

typeCheck

public Expression typeCheck(StaticContext env,
                            ItemType contextItemType)
                     throws XPathException

Description copied from class: Expression

Perform type checking of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the second phase of static optimization.

This checks statically that the operands of the expression have the correct type; if necessary it generates code to do run-time type checking or type conversion. A static type error is reported only if execution cannot possibly succeed, that is, if a run-time type error is inevitable. The call may return a modified form of the expression.

This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved to the declaration of the function or variable. However, the types of such functions and variables may not be accurately known if they have not been explicitly declared.

If the implementation returns a value other than "this", then it is required to ensure that the parent pointer and location information in the returned expression have been set up correctly. It should not rely on the caller to do this, although for historical reasons many callers do so.

Overrides:

typeCheck in class Expression

Parameters:

env - the static context of the expression

contextItemType - the static type of "." at the point where this expression is invoked. The parameter is set to null if it is known statically that the context item will be undefined. If the type of the context item is not known statically, the argument is set to Type.ITEM_TYPE

Returns:

the original expression, rewritten to perform necessary run-time type checks, and to perform other type-related optimizations

Throws:

StaticError - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

XPathException

optimize

public Expression optimize(Optimizer opt,
                           StaticContext env,
                           ItemType contextItemType)
                    throws XPathException

Description copied from class: Expression

Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the third and final phase of static optimization.

This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved to the declaration of the function or variable, and after all type checking has been done.

Overrides:

optimize in class Expression

Parameters:

opt - the optimizer in use. This provides access to supporting functions; it also allows different optimization strategies to be used in different circumstances.

env - the static context of the expression

contextItemType - the static type of "." at the point where this expression is invoked. The parameter is set to null if it is known statically that the context item will be undefined. If the type of the context item is not known statically, the argument is set to Type.ITEM_TYPE

Returns:

the original expression, rewritten if appropriate to optimize execution

Throws:

StaticError - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

XPathException

iterateSubExpressions

public Iterator iterateSubExpressions()

Get the immediate sub-expressions of this expression.

Overrides:

iterateSubExpressions in class Expression

Returns:

an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression

replaceSubExpression

public boolean replaceSubExpression(Expression original,
                                    Expression replacement)

Replace one subexpression by a replacement subexpression

Specified by:

replaceSubExpression in interface Container

Overrides:

replaceSubExpression in class Expression

Parameters:

original - the original subexpression

replacement - the replacement subexpression

Returns:

true if the original subexpression is found

createsNewNodes

public final boolean createsNewNodes()

Determine whether this instruction creates new nodes. This implementation returns true.

Overrides:

createsNewNodes in class Instruction

getCardinality

public int getCardinality()

Description copied from class: Expression

Determine the static cardinality of the expression. This establishes how many items there will be in the result of the expression, at compile time (i.e., without actually evaluating the result.

Overrides:

getCardinality in class Expression

Returns:

one of the values Cardinality.ONE_OR_MORE, Cardinality.ZERO_OR_MORE, Cardinality.EXACTLY_ONE, Cardinality.ZERO_OR_ONE, Cardinality.EMPTY. This default implementation returns ZERO_OR_MORE (which effectively gives no information).
