Constructor Detail

RuleManager

public RuleManager()

create a RuleManager and initialise variables.

Method Detail

resetHandlers

public void resetHandlers()

Set up a new table of handlers.

getDefaultMode

public Mode getDefaultMode()

Get the mode object for the default (unnamed) mode

getMode

public Mode getMode(StructuredQName modeName,
                    boolean createIfAbsent)

Get the Mode object for a named mode. If there is not one already registered. a new Mode is created.

Parameters:

modeName - The name of the mode. Supply null to get the default mode or Mode.ALL_MODES to get the Mode object containing "mode=all" rules

createIfAbsent - if true, then if the mode does not already exist it will be created. If false, then if the mode does not already exist the method returns null.

Returns:

the Mode with this name

setHandler

public void setHandler(Pattern pattern,
                       Template eh,
                       Mode mode,
                       int precedence)

Register a handler for a particular pattern. The priority of the rule is the default priority for the pattern, which depends on the syntax of the pattern suppllied.

Parameters:

pattern - A match pattern

eh - The ElementHandler to be used

mode - The processing mode

precedence - The import precedence (use 0 by default)

setHandler

public void setHandler(Pattern pattern,
                       Template eh,
                       Mode mode,
                       int precedence,
                       double priority)

Register a template for a particular pattern.

Parameters:

pattern - Must be a valid Pattern.

eh - The Template to be used

mode - The processing mode to which this template applies

precedence - The import precedence of this rule

priority - The priority of the rule: if an element matches several patterns, the one with highest priority is used

getTemplateRule

public Rule getTemplateRule(NodeInfo node,
                            Mode mode,
                            XPathContext c)
                     throws XPathException

Find the template rule registered for a particular node in a specific mode.

Parameters:

node - The NodeInfo for the relevant node

mode - The processing mode

c - The controller for this transformation

Returns:

The template rule that will process this node Returns null if there is no specific handler registered.

Throws:

XPathException

getTemplateRule

public Rule getTemplateRule(NodeInfo node,
                            Mode mode,
                            int min,
                            int max,
                            XPathContext c)
                     throws XPathException

Get a template rule whose import precedence is in a particular range. This is used to support the xsl:apply-imports function

Parameters:

node - The node to be matched

mode - The mode for which a rule is required

min - The minimum import precedence that the rule must have

max - The maximum import precedence that the rule must have

c - The Controller for the transformation

Returns:

The template rule to be invoked

Throws:

XPathException

getNextMatchHandler

public Rule getNextMatchHandler(NodeInfo node,
                                Mode mode,
                                Rule currentRule,
                                XPathContext c)
                         throws XPathException

Get the next-match handler after the current one

Parameters:

node - The node to be matched

mode - The processing mode

currentRule - The current template rule

c - The dynamic context for the transformation

Returns:

The template rule to be executed

Throws:

XPathException
