Class PathMap.PathMapNode

java.lang.Object
  extended by net.sf.saxon.expr.PathMap.PathMapNode
Direct Known Subclasses:
PathMap.PathMapRoot
Enclosing class:
PathMap

public static class PathMap.PathMapNode
extends Object

A node in the path map. A node holds a set of arcs, each representing a link to another node in the path map.


Method Summary
 PathMap.PathMapNode createArc(AxisExpression step)
          Create a new arc
 void createArc(AxisExpression step, PathMap.PathMapNode target)
          Create a new arc to an existing target
 PathMap.PathMapArc[] getArcs()
          Get the arcs emanating from this node in the PathMap
 boolean hasUnknownDependencies()
          Ask whether the path has unknown dependencies, typically because a node reached by the path is supplied as an argument to a user-defined function
 boolean isAtomized()
          Ask whether the typed value (or string value) of the node reached by this path will be required.
 boolean isReturnable()
          Ask whether the node represents a value that is returnable as the result of the supplied expression, rather than merely a node that is visited en route
 void setAtomized()
          Indicate that the typed value or string value of the node reached by this path will be used.
 void setHasUnknownDependencies()
          Indicate that the path has unknown dependencies, typically because a node reached by the path is supplied as an argument to a user-defined function
 void setReturnable(boolean returnable)
          Indicate that the node represents a value that is returnable as the result of the supplied expression, rather than merely a node that is visited en route

Method Detail

createArc

public PathMap.PathMapNode createArc(AxisExpression step)
Create a new arc

Parameters:
step - the AxisExpression representing this step
Returns:
the newly-constructed target of the new arc

createArc

public void createArc(AxisExpression step,
                      PathMap.PathMapNode target)
Create a new arc to an existing target

Parameters:
step - the AxisExpression representing this step
target - the target node of the new arc

getArcs

public PathMap.PathMapArc[] getArcs()
Get the arcs emanating from this node in the PathMap

Returns:
the arcs, each representing an AxisStep. The order of arcs in the array is undefined.

setReturnable

public void setReturnable(boolean returnable)
Indicate that the node represents a value that is returnable as the result of the supplied expression, rather than merely a node that is visited en route

Parameters:
returnable - true if the node represents a final result of the expression

isReturnable

public boolean isReturnable()
Ask whether the node represents a value that is returnable as the result of the supplied expression, rather than merely a node that is visited en route

Returns:
true if the node represents a final result of the expression

setAtomized

public void setAtomized()
Indicate that the typed value or string value of the node reached by this path will be used.


isAtomized

public boolean isAtomized()
Ask whether the typed value (or string value) of the node reached by this path will be required.

Returns:
true if the typed value or string value of the node is required

setHasUnknownDependencies

public void setHasUnknownDependencies()
Indicate that the path has unknown dependencies, typically because a node reached by the path is supplied as an argument to a user-defined function


hasUnknownDependencies

public boolean hasUnknownDependencies()
Ask whether the path has unknown dependencies, typically because a node reached by the path is supplied as an argument to a user-defined function

Returns:
true if the path has unknown dependencies
