isVacuousExpression

public boolean isVacuousExpression()

Determine whether this is a vacuous expression as defined in the XQuery update specification

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

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.

Overrides:

addToPathMap in class Expression

Parameters:

pathMap - the PathMap to which the expression should be added

pathMapNodeSet -

Returns:

the pathMapNode representing the focus established by this expression, in the case where this expression is the first operand of a path expression or filter expression

getDependencies

public final int getDependencies()

Determine which aspects of the context the expression depends on. The result is a bitwise-or'ed value composed from constants such as StaticProperty.VARIABLES and StaticProperty.CURRENT_NODE

Overrides:

getDependencies in class Expression

Returns:

for a Value, this always returns zero.

iterate

public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context)
                         throws XPathException

Return an Iterator to iterate over the values of a sequence. The value of every expression can be regarded as a sequence, so this method is supported for all expressions. This default implementation handles iteration for expressions that return singleton values: for non-singleton expressions, the subclass must provide its own implementation.

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 a singleton item (or empty sequence). Note: this implementation returns the first item in the sequence. The method should not be used unless appropriate type-checking has been done to ensure that the value will be a singleton.

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 value as an 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 - if a dynamic error occurs

evaluateAsString

public CharSequence evaluateAsString(XPathContext context)
                              throws XPathException

Description copied from class: Expression

Evaluate an expression as a String. This function must only be called in contexts where it is known that the expression will return a single string (or where an empty sequence is to be treated as a zero-length string). Implementations should not attempt to convert the result to a string, other than converting () to "". This method is used mainly to evaluate expressions produced by compiling an attribute value template.

Overrides:

evaluateAsString in class Expression

Parameters:

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

Returns:

the value of the expression, evaluated in the current context. The expression must return a string or (); if the value of the expression is (), this method returns "".

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

effectiveBooleanValue

public boolean effectiveBooleanValue(XPathContext context)
                              throws XPathException

Get the effective boolean value of the expression. This returns false if the value is the empty sequence, a zero-length string, a number equal to zero, or the boolean false. Otherwise it returns true.

Overrides:

effectiveBooleanValue in class Expression

Parameters:

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

Returns:

the effective boolean value

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Determine whether two literals are equal, when considered as expressions.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

obj - the other expression

Returns:

true if the two literals are equal. The test here requires (a) identity in the sense defined by XML Schema (same value in the same value space), and (b) identical type annotations. For example the literal xs:int(3) is not equal (as an expression) to xs:short(3), because the two expressions are not interchangeable.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Return a hash code to support the equals() function

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

toString

public String toString()

The toString() method for an expression attempts to give a representation of the expression in an XPath-like form, but there is no guarantee that the syntax will actually be true XPath. In the case of XSLT instructions, the toString() method gives an abstracted view of the syntax

Overrides:

toString in class Expression

Returns:

a representation of the expression as a string

explain

public void explain(ExpressionPresenter out)

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

Specified by:

explain in class Expression

Parameters:

out - the expression presenter used to display the structure
