Serializable

public class NamePool
extends Object
implements Serializable

A NamePool holds a collection of expanded names, each containing a namespace URI, a namespace prefix, and a local name; plus a collection of namespaces, each consisting of a prefix/URI pair.

Each expanded name is allocated a unique integer namecode. The namecode enables all three parts of the expanded name to be determined, that is, the prefix, the URI, and the local name.

The equivalence betweem names depends only on the URI and the local name. The namecode is designed so that if two namecodes represent names with the same URI and local name, the two namecodes are the same in the bottom 20 bits. It is therefore possible to compare two names for equivalence by performing an integer comparison of these 20 bits. The bottom 20 bits of a namecode are referred to as a fingerprint.

The NamePool eliminates duplicate names if they have the same prefix, uri, and local part. It retains duplicates if they have different prefixes

Internally the NamePool is organized as a fixed number of hash chains. The selection of a hash chain is based on hashing the local name, because it is unusual to have many names that share the same local name but use different URIs. There are 1024 hash chains and the identifier of the hash chain forms the bottom ten bits of the namecode. The next ten bits represent the sequential position of an entry within the hash chain. The upper bits represent the selection of prefix, from among the list of prefixes that have been used with a given URI. A prefix part of zero means no prefix; if the two prefixes used with a particular namespace are "xs" and "xsd", say, then these will be prefix codes 1 and 2.

Fingerprints in the range 0 to 1023 are reserved for system use, and are allocated as constants mainly to names in the XSLT and XML Schema namespaces: constants representing these names are found in StandardNames.

Operations that update the NamePool, or that have the potential to update it, are synchronized. Read-only operations are done without synchronization. Although technically unsafe, this has not led to any problems in practice. Performance problems due to excessive contention on the NamePool have occasionally been observed: if this happens, the best strategy is to consider splitting the workload to use multiple Configurations each with a separate NamePool.

Internal organization of the NamePool

The NamePool holds two kinds of entry: name entries, representing expanded names (local name + prefix + URI), identified by a name code, and namespace entries (prefix + URI) identified by a namespace code.

The data structure of the name table is as follows.

There is a fixed size hash table; names are allocated to slots in this table by hashing on the local name. Each entry in the table is the head of a chain of NameEntry objects representing names that have the same hash code.

Each NameEntry represents a distinct name (same URI and local name). It contains the local name as a string, plus a short integer representing the URI (as an offset into the array uris[] - this is known as the URIcode).

The fingerprint of a name consists of the hash slot number (in the bottom 10 bits) concatenated with the depth of the entry down the chain of hash synonyms (in the next 10 bits). Fingerprints with depth 0 (i.e., in the range 0-1023) are reserved for predefined names (names of XSLT elements and attributes, and of built-in types). These names are not stored in the name pool, but are accessible as if they were.

A nameCode contains the fingerprint in the bottom 20 bits. It also contains a 10-bit prefix index. This distinguishes the prefix used, among all the prefixes that have been used with this namespace URI. If the prefix index is zero, the prefix is null. Otherwise, it indexes an array of prefix Strings associated with the namespace URI. Note that the data structures and algorithms are optimized for the case where URIs usually use the same prefix.

The nameCode -1 is reserved to mean "not known" or inapplicable. The fingerprint -1 has the same meaning. Note that masking the nameCode -1 to extract its bottom 20 bits is incorrect, and will lead to errors.

Field Detail

FP_MASK

public static final int FP_MASK

FP_MASK is a mask used to obtain a fingerprint from a nameCode. Given a nameCode nc, the fingerprint is nc & NamePool.FP_MASK. (In practice, Saxon code often uses the literal constant 0xfffff, to extract the bottom 20 bits).

The difference between a fingerprint and a nameCode is that a nameCode contains information about the prefix of a name, the fingerprint depends only on the namespace URI and local name. Note that the "null" nameCode (-1) does not produce the "null" fingerprint (also -1) when this mask is applied.

Constructor Detail

NamePool

public NamePool()

Method Detail

getDefaultNamePool

public static NamePool getDefaultNamePool()

Get the singular static NamePool. Until Saxon 8.9, all Configurations shared the same NamePool unless users explicitly allocated a different one. This is no longer the case (each Configuration now has its own NamePool), but the singular static NamePool remains available.

Returns:

a singular NamePool, shared by all users of this Java VM instance.

setDefaultNamePool

public static void setDefaultNamePool(NamePool pool)

Set the default NamePool (used after loading a compiled stylesheet)

allocateNamespaceCode

public int allocateNamespaceCode(String prefix,
                                 String uri)

Allocate the namespace code for a namespace prefix/URI pair. Create it if not already present

Parameters:

prefix - the namespace prefix

uri - the namespace URI

Returns:

an integer code identifying the namespace. The namespace code identifies both the prefix and the URI.

getNamespaceCode

public int getNamespaceCode(String prefix,
                            String uri)

Get the existing namespace code for a namespace prefix/URI pair.

-1 if there is none present

getNamespaceCode

public int getNamespaceCode(int namecode)

Allocate a namespace code for a given namecode

Parameters:

namecode - a code identifying an expanded QName, e.g. of an element or attribute

Returns:

a code identifying the namespace used in the given name. The namespace code identifies both the prefix and the URI. Return -1 if no namespace code has been allocated (in this case the caller should call allocateNamespaceCode() to get one).

getPrefixIndex

public static int getPrefixIndex(int nameCode)

Get the prefix index from a namecode

Parameters:

nameCode - the name code

Returns:

the prefix index. A value of zero means the name is unprefixed (which in the case of an attribute, means that it is in the null namespace)

getCodeForURI

public short getCodeForURI(String uri)

Get the uri code for a given URI

public short getCodeForPrefix(String prefix)

Get the prefix code for a given Prefix

Returns:

-1 if not found

suggestPrefixForURI

public String suggestPrefixForURI(String URI)

Suggest a prefix for a given URI. If there are several, it's undefined which one is returned. If there are no prefixes registered for this URI, return null.

getPrefixWithIndex

                                 int index)

Get a prefix among all the prefixes used with a given URI, given its index

Returns:

the prefix with the given index. If the index is 0, the prefix is always "".

Returns:

an integer (the "namecode") identifying the name within the namepool. The Name itself may be retrieved using the getName(int) method

allocate

Get the nameCode for a lexical QName, given a namespace resolver.

Parameters:

qname - the lexical QName (with leading and trailing whitespace allowed).

useDefault - if true, an absent prefix is resolved by the NamespaceResolver to the namespace URI assigned to the prefix "". If false, an absent prefix is interpreted as meaning the name is in no namespace.
