Constructor Detail

Atomizer

public Atomizer(Expression sequence)

Constructor

Parameters:

sequence - the sequence to be atomized

Method Detail

getImplementationMethod

public int getImplementationMethod()

An implementation of Expression must provide at least one of the methods evaluateItem(), iterate(), or process(). This method indicates which of these methods is provided directly. The other methods will always be available indirectly, using an implementation that relies on one of the other methods.

Overrides:

getImplementationMethod in class Expression

Returns:

the implementation method, for example Expression.ITERATE_METHOD or Expression.EVALUATE_METHOD or Expression.PROCESS_METHOD

simplify

public Expression simplify(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                    throws XPathException

Simplify an expression

Overrides:

simplify in class UnaryExpression

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

Returns:

the simplified expression

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting

typeCheck

public Expression typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                            ItemType contextItemType)
                     throws XPathException

Type-check the expression

Overrides:

typeCheck in class UnaryExpression

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

contextItemType - the static type of "." at the point where this expression is invoked. The parameter is set to null if it is known statically that the context item will be undefined. If the type of the context item is not known statically, the argument is set to Type.ITEM_TYPE

Returns:

the original expression, rewritten to perform necessary run-time type checks, and to perform other type-related optimizations

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

optimize

public Expression optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                           ItemType contextItemType)
                    throws XPathException

Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions.

This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved to the declaration of the function or variable, and after all type checking has been done.

Overrides:

optimize in class UnaryExpression

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

contextItemType - the static type of "." at the point where this expression is invoked. The parameter is set to null if it is known statically that the context item will be undefined. If the type of the context item is not known statically, the argument is set to Type.ITEM_TYPE

Returns:

the original expression, rewritten if appropriate to optimize execution

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

computeSpecialProperties

public int computeSpecialProperties()

Determine the special properties of this expression

Overrides:

computeSpecialProperties in class UnaryExpression

Returns:

StaticProperty.NON_CREATIVE.

copy

public Expression copy()

Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.

Specified by:

copy in class Expression

Returns:

the copy of the original expression

iterate

public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context)
                         throws XPathException

Iterate over the sequence of values

Specified by:

iterate in interface SequenceIterable

Overrides:

iterate in class Expression

Parameters:

context - supplies the context for evaluation

Returns:

a SequenceIterator that can be used to iterate over the result of the expression

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

evaluateItem

public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                  throws XPathException

Evaluate as an Item. This should only be called if the Atomizer has cardinality zero-or-one, which will only be the case if the underlying expression has cardinality zero-or-one.

Specified by:

evaluateItem in interface EvaluableItem

Overrides:

evaluateItem in class Expression

Parameters:

context - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated

Returns:

the node or atomic value that results from evaluating the expression; or null to indicate that the result is an empty sequence

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

process

public void process(XPathContext context)
             throws XPathException

Process the instruction, without returning any tail calls

Overrides:

process in class Expression

Parameters:

context - The dynamic context, giving access to the current node, the current variables, etc.

Throws:

XPathException

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)

Determine the data type of the items returned by the expression, if possible

Overrides:

getItemType in class UnaryExpression

Parameters:

th - the type hierarchy cache

Returns:

a value such as Type.STRING, Type.BOOLEAN, Type.NUMBER. For this class, the result is always an atomic type, but it might be more specific.

getAtomizedItemType

public static ItemType getAtomizedItemType(Expression operand,
                                           boolean alwaysUntyped,
                                           TypeHierarchy th)

Compute the type that will result from atomizing the result of a given expression

Parameters:

operand - the given expression

alwaysUntyped - true if it is known that nodes will always be untyped

th - the type hierarchy cache

Returns:

the item type of the result of evaluating the operand expression, after atomization

computeCardinality

public int computeCardinality()

Determine the static cardinality of the expression

Overrides:

computeCardinality in class UnaryExpression

Returns:

the computed cardinality, as one of the values StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_ONE, StaticProperty.EXACTLY_ONE, StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ONE_OR_MORE, StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_MORE

addToPathMap

public PathMap.PathMapNodeSet addToPathMap(PathMap pathMap,
                                           PathMap.PathMapNodeSet pathMapNodeSet)

Add a representation of this expression to a PathMap. The PathMap captures a map of the nodes visited by an expression in a source tree.

The default implementation of this method assumes that an expression does no navigation other than the navigation done by evaluating its subexpressions, and that the subexpressions are evaluated in the same context as the containing expression. The method must be overridden for any expression where these assumptions do not hold. For example, implementations exist for AxisExpression, ParentExpression, and RootExpression (because they perform navigation), and for the doc(), document(), and collection() functions because they create a new navigation root. Implementations also exist for PathExpression and FilterExpression because they have subexpressions that are evaluated in a different context from the calling expression.

Overrides:

addToPathMap in class Expression

Parameters:

pathMap - the PathMap to which the expression should be added

pathMapNodeSet - the PathMapNodeSet to which the paths embodied in this expression should be added

Returns:

the pathMapNodeSet representing the points in the source document that are both reachable by this expression, and that represent possible results of this expression. For an expression that does navigation, it represents the end of the arc in the path map that describes the navigation route. For other expressions, it is the same as the input pathMapNode.

getAtomizingIterator

public static SequenceIterator getAtomizingIterator(SequenceIterator base)
                                             throws XPathException

Get an iterator that returns the result of atomizing the sequence delivered by the supplied iterator

Parameters:

base - the supplied iterator, the input to atomization

Returns:

an iterator that returns atomic values, the result of the atomization

Throws:

XPathException

getExpressionName

public String getExpressionName()

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

Overrides:

getExpressionName in class Expression

Returns:

a name identifying the kind of expression, in terms meaningful to a user. The name will always be in the form of a lexical XML QName, and should match the name used in explain() output displaying the expression.
