Constructor Detail

UnionSelection

public UnionSelection(Selection p1,
                      Selection p2)

Create a union selection

Parameters:

p1 - the first alternative

p2 - the second alternative

Method Detail

matchesElement

public int matchesElement(int[] stack,
                          int length,
                          int contextPosition)

Determine whether the selector matches a given element. The element is identified by an array of integers representing the fingerprints of the names of this element and each of its ancestors, in document order (i.e., root element first, matched element last).

Specified by:

matchesElement in interface Selection

Parameters:

stack - the array of name fingerprints

length - the effective length of the array; any items beyond this position are ignored

contextPosition - the position in this array of the context element for the selection.

Returns:

a bit-significant integer. {#MATCHES_AS_SELF} is set if the element matches the selector in its own right. {#MATCHES_AS_PARENT} is set if the element is a potential parent of an attribute that matches the selector. In the case of a union selection, it is possible for both bits to be set.

matchesAttribute

public boolean matchesAttribute(int fingerprint)
                         throws ValidationException

Determine whether a given attribute matches the Selection

Specified by:

matchesAttribute in interface Selection

Parameters:

fingerprint - the integer nameCode of an attribute

Returns:

true if it matches, false if it does not match

Throws:

ValidationException - if there is more than one attribute that matches

canMatchAttributes

public boolean canMatchAttributes()

Determine whether the selection can match attribute nodes

Specified by:

canMatchAttributes in interface Selection

Returns:

true if the selection can match attributes

canMatchElementContent

public boolean canMatchElementContent()

Determine whether the selection can match element content

Specified by:

canMatchElementContent in interface Selection

Returns:

true if the selection can match elements

typeCheck

public String typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                        ItemType contextItemType)

Check that the selection makes sense in the context of a given ItemType. Return null if the selection is OK, otherwise an error message

Specified by:

typeCheck in interface Selection

Parameters:

visitor - the expression visitor

contextItemType - the type of the context item

Returns:

an error messge if the expression is invalid

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)

Return the type of the nodes selected by this selection

Specified by:

getItemType in interface Selection

Parameters:

th - the type hierarchy cache

Returns:

the item type of the selected nodes

displayExpression

public void displayExpression(ExpressionPresenter out)

Diagnostic print of expression structure. The abstract expression tree is written to the supplied output destination.

Specified by:

displayExpression in interface Selection

Parameters:

out - the place where the structure is to be written
