Constructor Detail

PositionVariable

public PositionVariable()

Create a RangeVariable

Method Detail

getVariableQName

public StructuredQName getVariableQName()

Get the name of the variable, as a namepool name code

Specified by:

getVariableQName in interface Binding

Returns:

the nameCode

getRequiredType

public SequenceType getRequiredType()

Get the required type (declared type) of the variable

Specified by:

getRequiredType in interface Binding

Returns:

the required type

setVariableQName

public void setVariableQName(StructuredQName variableName)

Set the name of the variable

Parameters:

variableName - the name of the variable

setSlotNumber

public void setSlotNumber(int nr)

Set the slot number for the range variable

Parameters:

nr - the slot number to be used

getLocalSlotNumber

public int getLocalSlotNumber()

If this is a local variable held on the local stack frame, return the corresponding slot number. In other cases, return -1.

Specified by:

getLocalSlotNumber in interface Binding

Returns:

the slot number on the local stack frame

evaluateVariable

public ValueRepresentation evaluateVariable(XPathContext context)
                                     throws XPathException

Get the value of the range variable

Specified by:

evaluateVariable in interface Binding

Parameters:

context - the XPath dynamic evaluation context

Returns:

the result of evaluating the variable

Throws:

XPathException

isAssignable

public boolean isAssignable()

Test whether it is permitted to assign to the variable using the saxon:assign extension element. This will only be for an XSLT global variable where the extra attribute saxon:assignable="yes" is present.

Specified by:

isAssignable in interface Binding

Returns:

true if the binding is assignable

isGlobal

public boolean isGlobal()

Indicate whether the binding is local or global. A global binding is one that has a fixed value for the life of a query or transformation; any other binding is local.

Specified by:

isGlobal in interface Binding

Returns:

true if the binding is global
