Constructor Detail

MapType

public MapType(AtomicType keyType,
               SequenceType valueType)

Method Detail

isMapType

public boolean isMapType()

Ask whether this function item type is a map type. In this case function coercion (to the map type) will never succeed.

Specified by:

isMapType in interface FunctionItemType

Overrides:

isMapType in class AnyFunctionType

Returns:

true if this FunctionItemType is a map type

getArity

public int getArity()

Get the arity (number of arguments) of this function type

Returns:

the number of argument types in the function signature

getArgumentTypes

public SequenceType[] getArgumentTypes()

Get the argument types of this map, viewed as a function

Specified by:

getArgumentTypes in interface FunctionItemType

Overrides:

getArgumentTypes in class AnyFunctionType

Returns:

the list of argument types of this map, viewed as a function

getResultType

public SequenceType getResultType()

Get the result type of this map, viewed as a function

Specified by:

getResultType in interface FunctionItemType

Overrides:

getResultType in class AnyFunctionType

Returns:

the result type of this map, viewed as a function

matchesItem

public boolean matchesItem(Item item,
                           boolean allowURIPromotion,
                           Configuration config)

Test whether a given item conforms to this type

Specified by:

matchesItem in interface ItemType

Overrides:

matchesItem in class AnyFunctionType

Parameters:

item - the item to be tested

allowURIPromotion - true if promotion from URI to string is allowed

config - the Saxon configuration

Returns:

true if the item is an instance of this type; false otherwise

getSuperType

public ItemType getSuperType(TypeHierarchy th)

Get the type from which this item type is derived by restriction. This is the supertype in the XPath type heirarchy, as distinct from the Schema base type: this means that the supertype of xs:boolean is xs:anyAtomicType, whose supertype is item() (rather than xs:anySimpleType).

In fact the concept of "supertype" is not really well-defined, because the types form a lattice rather than a hierarchy. The only real requirement on this function is that it returns a type that strictly subsumes this type, ideally as narrowly as possible.

Specified by:

getSuperType in interface ItemType

Overrides:

getSuperType in class AnyFunctionType

Parameters:

th - the type hierarchy cache

Returns:

the supertype, or null if this type is item()

toString

public String toString(NamePool pool)

Produce a representation of this type name for use in error messages. Where this is a QName, it will use conventional prefixes

Specified by:

toString in interface ItemType

Overrides:

toString in class AnyFunctionType

Parameters:

pool - the name pool

Returns:

a string representation of the type, in notation resembling but not necessarily identical to XPath syntax

toString

public String toString()

Produce a representation of this type name for use in error messages.

Overrides:

toString in class AnyFunctionType

Returns:

a string representation of the type, in notation resembling but not necessarily identical to XPath syntax

equals

public boolean equals(Object other)

Test whether this function type equals another function type

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns a hash code value for the object.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

relationship

public int relationship(FunctionItemType other,
                        TypeHierarchy th)

Determine the relationship of one function item type to another

Specified by:

relationship in interface FunctionItemType

Overrides:

relationship in class AnyFunctionType

Returns:

for example TypeHierarchy.SUBSUMES, TypeHierarchy.SAME_TYPE

makeFunctionSequenceCoercer

public Expression makeFunctionSequenceCoercer(Expression exp,
                                              RoleLocator role,
                                              TypeCheckerEnvironment visitor)
                                       throws XPathException

Description copied from class: AnyFunctionType

Create an expression whose effect is to apply function coercion to coerce a function from this type to another type

Specified by:

makeFunctionSequenceCoercer in interface FunctionItemType

Overrides:

makeFunctionSequenceCoercer in class AnyFunctionType

Parameters:

exp - the expression that delivers the supplied sequence of function items (the ones in need of coercion)

role - information for use in diagnostics

visitor - the expression visitor, supplies context information

Returns:

the coerced function, a function that calls the original function after checking the parameters

Throws:

XPathException

visitNamedSchemaComponents

public void visitNamedSchemaComponents(SchemaComponentVisitor visitor)
                                throws XPathException

Visit all the schema components used in this ItemType definition

Specified by:

visitNamedSchemaComponents in interface ItemType

Overrides:

visitNamedSchemaComponents in class AnyFunctionType

Parameters:

visitor - the visitor class to be called when each component is visited

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs
