public class LiteralCompiler
extends ExpressionCompiler

Compile an literal expression to Java code

Constructor Summary

LiteralCompiler(ValueCompiler avc)

Method Summary

void	compilePush(CompilerService compiler, Expression exp) Generate Java code to execute the expression in push mode, that is, code to write events to the current output Receiver
java.lang.String	compileToCharSequence(CompilerService compiler, Expression exp) Compile Java code whose effect is to compute the string value of the expression; the generated code returns a CharSequence.
java.lang.String	compileToEffectiveBooleanValue(CompilerService compiler, Expression exp, ReturnAction options) Generate Java code to evaluate the effective boolean value of the expression
java.lang.String	compileToItem(CompilerService compiler, Expression exp) Generate Java code to evaluate the expression as an Item
java.lang.String	compileToIterator(CompilerService compiler, Expression exp) Generate Java code to evaluate the expression as a SequenceIterator
java.lang.String	compileToValueRepresentation(CompilerService compiler, Expression expr) Generate Java code to evaluate the expression as a ValueRepresentation

Method Detail

compilePush

public void compilePush(CompilerService compiler,
                        Expression exp)

Description copied from class: ExpressionCompiler

Generate Java code to execute the expression in push mode, that is, code to write events to the current output Receiver

Specified by:

compilePush in class ExpressionCompiler

Parameters:

compiler - the compiler service

exp - the expression to be compiled

compileToValueRepresentation

public java.lang.String compileToValueRepresentation(CompilerService compiler,
                                                     Expression expr)

Description copied from class: ExpressionCompiler

Generate Java code to evaluate the expression as a ValueRepresentation

Overrides:

compileToValueRepresentation in class ExpressionCompiler

Parameters:

compiler - the compiler service

expr - the expression to be compiled

Returns:

a simple Java expression (usually the name of a variable that has been declared) which will be of class ValueRepresentation, and which at run-time will hold the value of the expression

compileToItem

public java.lang.String compileToItem(CompilerService compiler,
                                      Expression exp)

Description copied from class: ExpressionCompiler

Generate Java code to evaluate the expression as an Item

Specified by:

compileToItem in class ExpressionCompiler

Parameters:

compiler - the compiler service

exp - the expression to be compiled

Returns:

a simple Java expression (usually the name of a variable that has been declared) which will be of class Item, and which will hold the value of the expression at run-time (or hold null, representing an empty sequence).

compileToIterator

public java.lang.String compileToIterator(CompilerService compiler,
                                          Expression exp)

Description copied from class: ExpressionCompiler

Generate Java code to evaluate the expression as a SequenceIterator

Specified by:

compileToIterator in class ExpressionCompiler

Parameters:

compiler - the compiler service

exp - the XPath expression to be compiled

Returns:

a simple Java expression (usually the name of a variable that has been declared) which will be of class SequenceIterator, and which at run-time will hold an iterator over the the value of the XPath expression

compileToEffectiveBooleanValue

public java.lang.String compileToEffectiveBooleanValue(CompilerService compiler,
                                                       Expression exp,
                                                       ReturnAction options)

Description copied from class: ExpressionCompiler

Generate Java code to evaluate the effective boolean value of the expression

Specified by:

compileToEffectiveBooleanValue in class ExpressionCompiler

Parameters:

compiler - the compiler service

exp - the XPath expression to be compiled

options - indicates how the boolean result is to be returned

Returns:

the result depends on the supplied value of the options argument. If options is a JavaDeclaration, the code must declare a Java variable and return the name of this variable. If options is a JavaAssignment, the code must assign the value to an existing Java variable. If options is a Return, the code must generate a return statement that returns the value of the boolean (in which case the result of this method is null).

compileToCharSequence

public java.lang.String compileToCharSequence(CompilerService compiler,
                                              Expression exp)

Compile Java code whose effect is to compute the string value of the expression; the generated code returns a CharSequence. This method must only be called for an expression that is known to return a value of type xs:string

Specified by:

compileToCharSequence in class ExpressionCompiler

Parameters:

exp - The expression to be compiled

compiler - the compiler service

Returns:

the name of a variable to which the resulting CharSequence is assigned, or a Java expression that can be used in a place where a variable reference of type CharSequence is allowed.
