Class Bindery

java.lang.Object
  net.sf.saxon.instruct.Bindery

public final class Bindery
extends Object

The Bindery class holds information about variables and their values. From Saxon 8.1, it is used only for global variables: local variables are now held in the XPathContext object. Variables are identified by a Binding object. Values will always be of class Value.

Method Detail

allocateGlobals

public void allocateGlobals(SlotManager map)

Define how many slots are needed for global variables

Parameters:

map - the SlotManager that keeps track of slot allocation for global variables.

defineGlobalParameters

public void defineGlobalParameters(GlobalParameterSet params)

Define global parameters

Parameters:

params - The ParameterSet passed in by the user, eg. from the command line

useGlobalParameter

public boolean useGlobalParameter(StructuredQName qName,
                                  int slot,
                                  SequenceType requiredType,
                                  XPathContext context)
                           throws XPathException

Use global parameter. This is called when a global xsl:param element is processed. If a parameter of the relevant name was supplied, it is bound to the xsl:param element. Otherwise the method returns false, so the xsl:param default will be evaluated.

Parameters:

qName - The name of the parameter

slot - The slot number allocated to the parameter

requiredType - The declared type of the parameter

context - the XPath dynamic evaluation context

Returns:

true if a parameter of this name was supplied, false if not

Throws:

XPathException

defineGlobalVariable

public void defineGlobalVariable(GlobalVariable binding,
                                 ValueRepresentation value)

Provide a value for a global variable

Parameters:

binding - identifies the variable

value - the value of the variable

setExecuting

public void setExecuting(GlobalVariable binding,
                         boolean executing)
                  throws XPathException

Set/Unset a flag to indicate that a particular global variable is currently being evaluated.

Parameters:

binding - the global variable in question

executing - true when we start evaluating the variable, false when evaluation has finished

Throws:

XPathException - If an attempt is made to set the flag when it is already set, this means the definition of the variable is circular.

getGlobalVariableValue

public ValueRepresentation getGlobalVariableValue(GlobalVariable binding)

Get the value of a global variable

Parameters:

binding - the Binding that establishes the unique instance of the variable

Returns:

the Value of the variable if defined, null otherwise.

getGlobalVariable

public ValueRepresentation getGlobalVariable(int slot)

Get the value of a global variable whose slot number is known

Parameters:

slot - the slot number of the required variable

Returns:

the Value of the variable if defined, null otherwise.

setGlobalVariable

public void setGlobalVariable(int slot,
                              ValueRepresentation value)

Set the value of a global variable whose slot number is known

Parameters:

slot - the slot number of the required variable

value - the Value of the variable if defined, null otherwise.

assignGlobalVariable

public void assignGlobalVariable(GlobalVariable binding,
                                 ValueRepresentation value)

Assign a new value to a global variable. Supports saxon:assign.

Parameters:

binding - identifies the global variable or parameter

value - the value to be assigned to the variable

getGlobalVariableMap

public SlotManager getGlobalVariableMap()

Get the Global Variable Map, containing the mapping of variable names (fingerprints) to slot numbers. This is provided for use by debuggers.

Returns:

the SlotManager containing information about the assignment of slot numbers to global variables and parameters

getGlobalVariables

public ValueRepresentation[] getGlobalVariables()

Get all the global variables, as an array. This is provided for use by debuggers that know the layout of the global variables within the array.

Returns:

the array of global varaibles.
