Class RoleLocator

java.lang.Object
  net.sf.saxon.expr.RoleLocator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class RoleLocator
extends Object
implements Serializable

A RoleLocator identifies the role in which an expression is used, for example as the third argument of the concat() function. This information is stored in an ItemChecker or CardinalityChecker so that good diagnostics can be achieved when run-time type errors are detected.

Constructor Detail

RoleLocator

public RoleLocator(int kind,
                   Serializable operation,
                   int operand)

Create information about the role of a subexpression within its parent expression

Parameters:

kind - the kind of parent expression, e.g. a function call or a variable reference

operation - the name of the object in the parent expression, e.g. a function name or instruction name. May be expressed either as a String or as a StructuredQName. For a string, the special format element/attribute is recognized, for example xsl:for-each/select, to identify the role of an XPath expression in a stylesheet.

operand - Ordinal position of this subexpression, e.g. the position of an argument in a function call

Method Detail

setErrorCode

public void setErrorCode(String code)

Set the error code to be produced if a type error is detected

Parameters:

code - The error code

getErrorCode

public String getErrorCode()

Get the error code to be produced if a type error is detected

Returns:

code The error code

getMessage

public String getMessage()

Construct and return the error message indicating a type error

Returns:

the constructed error message

composeRequiredMessage

public String composeRequiredMessage(ItemType requiredItemType,
                                     NamePool pool)

Construct the part of the message giving the required item type

Parameters:

requiredItemType - the item type required by the context of a particular expression

pool - the name pool

Returns:

a message of the form "Required item type of X is Y"

composeErrorMessage

public String composeErrorMessage(ItemType requiredItemType,
                                  ItemType suppliedItemType,
                                  NamePool pool)

Construct a full error message

Parameters:

requiredItemType - the item type required by the context of a particular expression

suppliedItemType - the item type inferred by static analysis of an expression

pool - the name pool

Returns:

a message of the form "Required item type of A is R; supplied value has item type S"
