Direct Known Subclasses:

public class StaticQueryContext
extends Object

StaticQueryContext contains information used to build a StaticContext for use when processing XQuery expressions.

Despite its name, StaticQueryContext no longer implements the StaticContext interface, which means it cannot be used directly by Saxon when parsing a query. Instead it is first copied to create a QueryModule object, which does implement the StaticContext interface.

The application constructs a StaticQueryContext and initializes it with information about the context, for example, default namespaces, base URI, and so on. When a query is compiled using this StaticQueryContext, the query parser makes a copy of the StaticQueryContext and uses this internally, modifying it with information obtained from the query prolog, as well as information such as namespace and variable declarations that can occur at any point in the query. The query parser does not modify the original StaticQueryContext supplied by the calling application, which may therefore be used for compiling multiple queries, serially or even in multiple threads.

This class forms part of Saxon's published XQuery API. Methods that are considered stable are labelled with the JavaDoc "since" tag. The value 8.4 indicates a method introduced at or before Saxon 8.4; other values indicate the version at which the method was introduced.

In the longer term, this entire API may at some stage be superseded by a proposed standard Java API for XQuery.

8.4

Constructor Detail

StaticQueryContext

protected StaticQueryContext()

Private constructor used when copying a context

StaticQueryContext

public StaticQueryContext(Configuration config)

Deprecated. since 9.2. Use config.newStaticQueryContext(). This will create a StaticQueryContext with capabilities appropriate to the configuration (for example, offering XQuery 1.1 support).

Create a StaticQueryContext using a given Configuration. This creates a StaticQueryContext for a main module (that is, a module that is not a library module).

Parameters:

config - the Saxon Configuration

Since:

8.4

StaticQueryContext

public StaticQueryContext(Configuration config,
                          boolean initial)

Create a StaticQueryContext using a given Configuration. This creates a StaticQueryContext for a main module (that is, a module that is not a library module).

This method is primarily for internal use. The recommended way to create a StaticQueryContext is by using the factory method Configuration.newStaticQueryContext().

Parameters:

config - the Saxon Configuration

initial - if set, this is the StaticQueryContext owned by the Configuration

StaticQueryContext

public StaticQueryContext(StaticQueryContext c)

Create a copy of a supplied StaticQueryContext

Parameters:

c - the StaticQueryContext to be copied

Method Detail

reset

public void reset()

Reset the state of this StaticQueryContext to an uninitialized state

Since:

8.4

setConfiguration

public void setConfiguration(Configuration config)

Set the Configuration options

Parameters:

config - the Saxon Configuration

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the configuration supplied is different from the existing configuration

Since:

8.4

getConfiguration

public Configuration getConfiguration()

Get the Configuration options

Returns:

the Saxon configuration

Since:

8.4

newQueryParser

protected QueryParser newQueryParser(boolean updating,
                                     String languageVersion)

Get a new QueryParser

Parameters:

updating - indicates whether or not XQuery update syntax may be used. Note that XQuery Update is supported only in Saxon-EE

languageVersion -

Returns:

the QueryParser

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if a parser that supports update syntax is requested on Saxon-B

setExecutable

public void setExecutable(Executable executable)

Set the Executable to contain this query. Normally a query constitutes its own Executable, and the executable will then be created automatically. This method is used when the query is to share the same executable as a host program, specifically, an XSLT stylesheet that imports the query.

Parameters:

executable - the executable

getExecutable

public Executable getExecutable()

Get the executable containing this query

Returns:

the executable (or null if not set)

setBaseURI

public void setBaseURI(String baseURI)

Set the Base URI of the query

Parameters:

baseURI - the base URI of the query

Since:

8.4

buildDocument

public DocumentInfo buildDocument(Source source)
                           throws XPathException

Deprecated. since 9.2: use Configuration.buildDocument(javax.xml.transform.Source)

Convenience method for building Saxon's internal representation of a source XML document. The document will be built using Configuration (and NamePool) associated with this StaticQueryContext.

This method is retained for backwards compatibility; however, it is merely a wrapper around the method Configuration.buildDocument(javax.xml.transform.Source), which should be called in preference.

Parameters:

source - Any javax.xml.transform.Source object representing the document against which queries will be executed. Note that a Saxon DocumentInfo (indeed any NodeInfo) can be used as a Source. To use a third-party DOM Document as a source, create an instance of DOMSource to wrap it.

For additional control over the way in which the source document is processed, supply an AugmentedSource object and set appropriate options on the object.

Returns:

the DocumentInfo representing the root node of the resulting document object.

Throws:

XPathException

Since:

8.4

setLanguageVersion

public void setLanguageVersion(String version)

Set the language version.

Parameters:

version - The XQuery language version. Must be "1.0" or "1.1". Currently the only 1.1 language feature supported is try/catch, and that only in Saxon-EE. Note that XQuery 1.1 language features cannot be used with XQuery Updates. The Query Prolog must also specify version="1.1".

Since:

9.2

getLanguageVersion

public String getLanguageVersion()

Get the language version

Returns:

the language version. Either "1.0" or "1.1". Default is "1.0".

Since:

9.2.

Returns:

true if compile-time generation of code was requested

Since:

9.0

setCompileWithTracing

public void setCompileWithTracing(boolean trace)

Request compile-time generation of trace code (or not)

Parameters:

trace - true if compile-time generation of trace code is required

Since:

9.0

isUpdating

public boolean isUpdating()

Ask whether XQuery Update is allowed

setGeneratingJavaCode

public void setGeneratingJavaCode(boolean generateCode)

compileQuery

public XQueryExpression compileQuery(String query)
                              throws XPathException

Prepare an XQuery query for subsequent evaluation. The source text of the query is supplied as a String. The base URI of the query is taken from the static context, and defaults to the current working directory.

Note that this interface makes the caller responsible for decoding the query and presenting it as a string of characters. This means it is likely that any encoding specified in the query prolog will be ignored.

Parameters:

query - The XQuery query to be evaluated, supplied as a string.

Returns:

an XQueryExpression object representing the prepared expression

Throws:

XPathException - if the syntax of the expression is wrong, or if it references namespaces, variables, or functions that have not been declared, or contains other static errors.

Since:

8.4

compileQuery

public XQueryExpression compileQuery(Reader source)
                              throws XPathException,
                                     IOException

Prepare an XQuery query for subsequent evaluation. The Query is supplied in the form of a Reader. The base URI of the query is taken from the static context, and defaults to the current working directory.

Note that this interface makes the Reader responsible for decoding the query and presenting it as a stream of characters. This means it is likely that any encoding specified in the query prolog will be ignored. Also, some implementations of Reader cannot handle a byte order mark.

Parameters:

source - A Reader giving access to the text of the XQuery query to be compiled.

Returns:

an XPathExpression object representing the prepared expression.

Throws:

XPathException - if the syntax of the expression is wrong, or if it references namespaces, variables, or functions that have not been declared, or any other static error is reported.

IOException - if a failure occurs reading the supplied input.

Since:

8.4

compileQuery

public XQueryExpression compileQuery(InputStream source,
                                     String encoding)
                              throws XPathException,
                                     IOException

Prepare an XQuery query for subsequent evaluation. The Query is supplied in the form of a InputStream, with an optional encoding. If the encoding is not specified, the query parser attempts to obtain the encoding by inspecting the input stream: it looks specifically for a byte order mark, and for the encoding option in the version declaration of an XQuery prolog. The encoding defaults to UTF-8. The base URI of the query is taken from the static context, and defaults to the current working directory.

Parameters:

source - An InputStream giving access to the text of the XQuery query to be compiled, as a stream of octets

encoding - The encoding used to translate characters to octets in the query source. The parameter may be null: in this case the query parser attempts to infer the encoding by inspecting the source, and if that fails, it assumes UTF-8 encoding

Returns:

an XPathExpression object representing the prepared expression.

Throws:

XPathException - if the syntax of the expression is wrong, or if it references namespaces, variables, or functions that have not been declared, or any other static error is reported.

IOException - if a failure occurs reading the supplied input.

Since:

8.5

compileLibrary

public QueryLibrary compileLibrary(String query)
                            throws XPathException

Compile an XQuery library module for subsequent evaluation. This method is supported only in Saxon-EE

Throws:

XPathException

Since:

9.2

compileLibrary

public QueryLibrary compileLibrary(Reader source)
                            throws XPathException,
                                   IOException

Prepare an XQuery library module for subsequent evaluation. This method is supported only in Saxon-EE

Throws:

XPathException

IOException

Since:

9.2

compileLibrary

public QueryLibrary compileLibrary(InputStream source,
                                   String encoding)
                            throws XPathException,
                                   IOException

Prepare an XQuery library module for subsequent evaluation. This method is supported only in Saxon-EE

Throws:

XPathException

IOException

Since:

9.2

declareNamespace

public void declareNamespace(String prefix,
                             String uri)

Declare a namespace whose prefix can be used in expressions. This is equivalent to declaring a prefix in the Query prolog. Any namespace declared in the Query prolog overrides a namespace declared using this API.

Parameters:

prefix - The namespace prefix. Must not be null. Setting this to "" means that the namespace will be used as the default namespace for elements and types.

uri - The namespace URI. Must not be null. The value "" (zero-length string) is used to undeclare a namespace; it is not an error if there is no existing binding for the namespace prefix.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if either the prefix or URI is null

IllegalArgumentException - if the prefix is "xml" and the namespace is not the XML namespace, or vice versa; or if the prefix is "xmlns", or the URI is "http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/"

Since:

9.0

declarePassiveNamespace

public void declarePassiveNamespace(String prefix,
                                    String uri,
                                    boolean explicit)
                             throws XPathException

Deprecated. since 9.0. Use declareNamespace(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)

Declare a namespace whose prefix can be used in expressions. This is equivalent to declaring a prefix in the Query prolog. The term "passive" was a term from a draft XQuery proposal indicating a namespace that won't be copied into the result tree. Passive namespaces are never undeclared. Any namespace declared in the Query prolog overrides a namespace declared using this API.

Parameters:

prefix - The namespace prefix. Must not be null.

uri - The namespace URI. Must not be null. The value "" (zero-length string) is used to undeclare a namespace; it is not an error if there is no existing binding for the namespace prefix.

explicit - Must be false (the value true was previously reserved for internal use, but is no longer permitted)

Throws:

XPathException

Since:

8.4

clearNamespaces

public void clearNamespaces()

Clear all the user-declared namespaces

Since:

9.0

getUserDeclaredNamespaces

protected HashMap<String,String> getUserDeclaredNamespaces()

Get the map of user-declared namespaces

Returns:

the user-declared namespaces

clearPassiveNamespaces

public void clearPassiveNamespaces()

Deprecated. since 9.0 - use clearNamespaces()

Since:

8.4

iterateDeclaredPrefixes

public Iterator<String> iterateDeclaredPrefixes()

Get the namespace prefixes that have been declared using the method declareNamespace(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)

Returns:

an iterator that returns the namespace prefixes that have been explicitly declared, as strings. The default namespace for elements and types will be included, using the prefix "".

Since:

9.0

getNamespaceForPrefix

public String getNamespaceForPrefix(String prefix)

Get the namespace URI for a given prefix, which must have been declared using the method declareNamespace(java.lang.String, java.lang.String). Note that this method will not call the external namespace resolver to resolve the prefix.

Parameters:

prefix - the namespace prefix, or "" to represent the null prefix

Returns:

the namespace URI. Returns "" to represent the non-namespace, null to indicate that the prefix has not been declared

setExternalNamespaceResolver

public void setExternalNamespaceResolver(NamespaceResolver resolver)

Set an external namespace resolver. If a namespace prefix cannot be resolved using any other mechanism, then as a last resort the external namespace resolver is called to obtain a URI for the given prefix.

Changed in Saxon 9.0 so that the namespaces resolved by the external namespace resolver are available at run-time, just like namespaces declared in the query prolog. In consequence, the supplied NamespaceResolver must now implement the NamespaceResolver.iteratePrefixes() method.

Parameters:

resolver - the external namespace resolver

getExternalNamespaceResolver

public NamespaceResolver getExternalNamespaceResolver()

Get the external namespace resolver that has been registered using setExternalNamespaceResolver(), if any.

Returns:

the external namespace resolver

getDefaultFunctionNamespace

public String getDefaultFunctionNamespace()

Since:

8.4

getDefaultElementNamespace

public String getDefaultElementNamespace()

Get the default namespace for elements and types

Returns:

the namespace URI to be used as the default namespace for elements and types

Since:

8.9 Modified in 8.9 to return the namespace URI as a string rather than an integer code

declareGlobalVariable

public void declareGlobalVariable(StructuredQName qName,
                                  SequenceType type,
                                  ValueRepresentation value,
                                  boolean external)
                           throws XPathException

Declare a global variable. This has the same effect as including a global variable declaration in the Query Prolog of the main query module. A static error occurs when compiling the query if the query prolog contains a declaration of the same variable.

Parameters:

qName - the qualified name of the variable

type - the declared type of the variable

value - the initial value of the variable. May be null if the variable is external.

external - true if the variable is external, that is, if its value may be set at run-time.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the value is null, unless the variable is external

XPathException - if the value of the variable is not consistent with its type.

Since:

9.1

iterateDeclaredGlobalVariables

public Iterator iterateDeclaredGlobalVariables()

Iterate over all the declared global variables

Returns:

an iterator over all the global variables that have been declared. They are returned as instances of class GlobalVariableDefinition

Since:

9.1

setModuleURIResolver

public void setModuleURIResolver(ModuleURIResolver resolver)

Set a user-defined ModuleURIResolver for resolving URIs used in "import module" declarations in the XQuery prolog. This will be used for resolving URIs in XQuery "import module" declarations, overriding any ModuleURIResolver that was specified as part of the configuration.

Parameters:

resolver - the ModuleURIResolver to be used

getModuleURIResolver

public ModuleURIResolver getModuleURIResolver()

Get the user-defined ModuleURIResolver for resolving URIs used in "import module" declarations in the XQuery prolog; returns null if none has been explicitly set either on the StaticQueryContext or on the Configuration.

Returns:

the registered ModuleURIResolver

declareCollation

public void declareCollation(String name,
                             Comparator comparator)

Declare a named collation. Collations are only available in a query if this method has been called externally to declare the collation and associate it with an implementation, in the form of a Java Comparator. The default collation is the Unicode codepoint collation, unless otherwise specified.

Parameters:

name - The name of the collation (technically, a URI)

comparator - The Java Comparator used to implement the collating sequence

Since:

8.4.

declareCollation

public void declareCollation(String name,
                             StringCollator comparator)

Declare a named collation. Collations are only available in a query if this method has been called externally to declare the collation and associate it with an implementation, in the form of a Java StringCollator. The default collation is the Unicode codepoint collation, unless otherwise specified.

Parameters:

name - The name of the collation (technically, a URI)

comparator - The Java Comparator used to implement the collating sequence

Since:

8.9.

declareDefaultCollation

public void declareDefaultCollation(String name)

Set the default collation.

Parameters:

name - The collation name, as specified in the query prolog. The name is not validated until it is used.

Since:

8.4. Changed in 8.6 so it no longer validates the collation name: this is because the base URI is not necessarily known at the point where the default collation is declared.

getCollation

public StringCollator getCollation(String name)

Get a named collation.

Parameters:

name - the name of the collation, as an absolute URI

Returns:

the collation identified by the given name, as set previously using declareCollation. If no collation with this name has been declared, the method calls the CollationURIResolver to locate a collation with this name. Return null if no collation with this name is found.

Since:

8.4

getCollationMap

public CollationMap getCollationMap()

Get the collation map

Returns:

the collation map, which identifies all the known collations

getDefaultCollationName

public String getDefaultCollationName()

Get the name of the default collation.

Returns:

the name of the default collation; or the name of the codepoint collation if no default collation has been defined. The name is returned in the form it was specified; that is, it is not yet resolved against the base URI. (This is because the base URI declaration can follow the default collation declaration in the query prolog.) If no default collation has been specified, the "default default" (that is, the Unicode codepoint collation) is returned.

Since:

8.4

getAllCollations

public CollationMap getAllCollations()

Get a CollationMap that maps all registered collations to Comparators. Note that this returns a snapshot copy of the data held by the static context. This method is provided for internal use by the query processor.

This method is intended for internal use.

Returns:

the CollationMap containing all the collations defined in this static context

setRequiredContextItemType

public void setRequiredContextItemType(ItemType type)

Declare the static type of the context item. If this type is declared, and if a context item is supplied when the query is invoked, then the context item must conform to this type (no type conversion will take place to force it into this type).

Parameters:

type - the required type of the context item

getRequiredContextItemType

public ItemType getRequiredContextItemType()

Get the required type of the context item. If no type has been explicitly declared for the context item, an instance of AnyItemType (representing the type item()) is returned.

Get the NamePool used for compiling expressions

Returns:

the name pool

Since:

8.4

getSystemId

public String getSystemId()
