Constructor Detail

UnionPattern

public UnionPattern(Pattern p1,
                    Pattern p2)

Constructor

Parameters:

p1 - the left-hand operand

p2 - the right-hand operand

Method Detail

matches

public boolean matches(Item item,
                       XPathContext context)
                throws XPathException

Determine if the supplied node matches the pattern

Specified by:

matches in class Pattern

Parameters:

item - the node to be compared

context - The dynamic context. Only relevant if the pattern uses variables, or contains calls on functions such as document() or key().

Returns:

true if the node matches either of the operand patterns

Throws:

XPathException

matchesBeneathAnchor

public boolean matchesBeneathAnchor(NodeInfo node,
                                    NodeInfo anchor,
                                    XPathContext context)
                             throws XPathException

Determine whether this pattern matches a given Node within the subtree rooted at a given anchor node. This method is used when the pattern is used for streaming.

Overrides:

matchesBeneathAnchor in class Pattern

Parameters:

node - The NodeInfo representing the Element or other node to be tested against the Pattern

anchor - The anchor node, which must match any AnchorPattern subpattern

context - The dynamic context. Only relevant if the pattern uses variables, or contains calls on functions such as document() or key().

Returns:

true if the node matches the Pattern, false otherwise

Throws:

XPathException

equals

public boolean equals(Object other)

Determine whether this pattern is the same as another pattern

Overrides:

equals in class VennPattern

Parameters:

other - the other object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Hashcode supporting equals()

Overrides:

hashCode in class VennPattern
