Constructor Detail

CastingExpression

public CastingExpression(Expression source,
                         AtomicType target,
                         boolean allowEmpty)

Create a cast expression

Parameters:

source - expression giving the value to be converted

target - the type to which the value is to be converted

allowEmpty - true if the expression allows an empty sequence as input, producing an empty sequence as output. If false, an empty sequence is a type error.

Method Detail

getTargetPrimitiveType

public AtomicType getTargetPrimitiveType()

Get the primitive base type of the target type of the cast

Returns:

the primitive type of the target type

setTargetType

public void setTargetType(AtomicType type)

Set the target type

Parameters:

type - the target type for the cast

getTargetType

public AtomicType getTargetType()

Get the target type (the result type)

Returns:

the target type

setAllowEmpty

public void setAllowEmpty(boolean allow)

Say whether the expression accepts an empty sequence as input (producing an empty sequence as output)

Parameters:

allow - true if an empty sequence is accepted

allowsEmpty

public boolean allowsEmpty()

Ask whether the expression accepts an empty sequence as input (producing an empty sequence as output)

Returns:

true if an empty sequence is accepted

setOperandIsStringLiteral

public void setOperandIsStringLiteral(boolean option)

Say whether the operand to the cast expression was supplied in the form of a string literal. This is relevant only for XPath 2.0 / XQuery 1.0, and then only when the target type is a QName or NOTATION.

Parameters:

option - true if the operand was supplied as a string literal

isOperandIsStringLiteral

public boolean isOperandIsStringLiteral()

Ask whether the operand to the cast expression was supplied in the form of a string literal. This is relevant only for XPath 2.0 / XQuery 1.0, and then only when the target type is a QName or NOTATION.

Returns:

true if the operand was supplied as a string literal

getConverter

public Converter getConverter()

Get the Converter allocated to implement this cast expression, if any

Returns:

the Converter if one has been statically allocated, or null if not

setNamespaceResolver

public void setNamespaceResolver(NamespaceResolver resolver)

Set the namespace resolver, if any

Parameters:

resolver - the namespace resolver to be used if the target type is namespace-sensitive

getNamespaceResolver

public NamespaceResolver getNamespaceResolver()

Get the namespace resolver, if any

Returns:

the namespace resolver that was statically allocated if the target type is namespace-sensitive

simplify

public Expression simplify(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                    throws XPathException

Simplify the 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

computeSpecialProperties

public int computeSpecialProperties()

Determine the special properties of this expression

Overrides:

computeSpecialProperties in class UnaryExpression

Returns:

StaticProperty.NON_CREATIVE.
