Class CompiledUserQuery

java.lang.Object
  com.saxonica.deploy.CompiledUserQuery

public abstract class CompiledUserQuery
extends Object

This abstract class acts as a superclass for every compiled query generated by the Saxon code generator, other than queries compiled in servlet mode.

Queries compiled to use this superclass are not thread-safe: a new instance of the class must be created each time a query is run in a new thread. The class is, however, serially reusable.

The class supports two mechanisms for running a compiled query. The query can be run directly from the command line, or it can be integrated into an application and invoked via a Java API.

The class contains two kinds of method: methods (many of them abstract) that form the API to the query, enabling a client application to invoke the query and process the results; and concrete methods that provide run-time services to the compiled query itself.

public CompiledUserQuery()

Method Detail

setConfiguration

public void setConfiguration(Configuration config)

Supply the configuration in which the query will be executed. Note that this is not required to be the same as the configuration under which the query was compiled. However, any schemas that are present in the run-time configuration must be unchanged from the versions that were used at compile time. If no configuration is supplied then the query will run with a default configuration.

Parameters:

config - the Configuration to be used. If the query is schema-aware, this must be an instance of SchemaAwareConfiguration

setExternalVariable

public abstract void setExternalVariable(String clarkName,
                                         ValueRepresentation value)

Supply the value of an external variable

Parameters:

clarkName - The expanded name of the variable in Clark notation: that is, the local name in the case of a name in no namespace, or "{uri}local" for a name with namespace URI "uri" and local name "local"

value - The value to be assigned to the external variable

setDynamicContext

public void setDynamicContext(DynamicQueryContext context)

Supply the dynamic context for the query. The dynamic context may include a context item, values of external query parameters, and other details. If no dynamic context is supplied, the query will run with a default context (no context item, no parameter values other than those provided using the method setExternalVariable(java.lang.String, net.sf.saxon.om.ValueRepresentation)).

If any parameter values are included in the context, they will immediately be extracted from the supplied context object and passed to the query as if setExternalVariable(java.lang.String, net.sf.saxon.om.ValueRepresentation) were called. Subsequent changes to the context object have no effect. However, if the values supplied are mutable, it is undefined whether any subsequent changes to the values have any effect.

Parameters:

context - the dynamic context to be used.

run

public void run(Result result,
                Properties outputProperties)
         throws XPathException

Run the query, sending the results directly to a JAXP Result object. This way of executing the query is most efficient in the case of queries that produce a single document (or parentless element) as their output, because it avoids constructing the result tree in memory: instead, it is piped straight to the serializer.

Parameters:

result - the destination for the results of the query. The query is effectively wrapped in a document{} constructor, so that the items in the result are concatenated to form a single document; this is then written to the requested Result destination, which may be (for example) a DOMResult, a SAXResult, or a StreamResult

outputProperties - Supplies serialization properties, in JAXP format, if the result is to be serialized. This parameter can be defaulted to null. Values supplied here take precedence over any values supplied in the query source using the saxon:output option declaration.

Throws:

XPathException - if the query fails.

getConfiguration

public Configuration getConfiguration()

Get the Configuration

Returns:

the Saxon configuration object

getExecutable

public Executable getExecutable()

Get the Executable

Returns:

the Executable containing this query

initializeGlobals

public abstract void initializeGlobals(XPathContext context)
                                throws XPathException

Run the query-specific initialization code. This code is generated as part of the compiled query.

Parameters:

context - the XPath dynamic context

Throws:

XPathException

process

public abstract void process(XPathContext context)
                      throws XPathException

Run the query, sending the results to the current output destination

Parameters:

context - the XPath dynamic context

Throws:

XPathException

mainCommand

public void mainCommand(String[] args)
                 throws Exception

Run the query from the command line

Parameters:

args - command line options

Throws:

Exception
