net.sf.saxon.expr.EmptyTextNodeRemover

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, SourceLocator, LocationProvider, SaxonLocator, ItemMappingFunction, InstructionInfo, Locator

public class EmptyTextNodeRemover
extends UnaryExpression
implements ItemMappingFunction

This class performs the first phase of processing in "constructing simple content": it takes an input sequence, eliminates empty text nodes, and combines adjacent text nodes into one.

Since:

EmptyTextNodeRemover

public EmptyTextNodeRemover(Expression p0)

Method Detail

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)

Determine the data type of the expression, if possible. The default implementation for unary expressions returns the item type of the operand

Overrides:

getItemType in class UnaryExpression

Parameters:

th - the type hierarchy cache

Returns:

the item type of the items in the result sequence, insofar as this is known statically.

computeCardinality

public int computeCardinality()

Description copied from class: UnaryExpression

Determine the static cardinality. Default implementation returns the cardinality of the operand

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

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

iterateSubExpressionInfo

public Iterator<SubExpressionInfo> iterateSubExpressionInfo()

Get the immediate sub-expressions of this expression, with information about the relationship of each expression to its parent expression. Default implementation returns a zero-length array, appropriate for an expression that has no sub-expressions.

Overrides:

iterateSubExpressionInfo in class Expression

Returns:

an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression

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 prefered.

Overrides:

getImplementationMethod in class Expression

Returns:

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

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

mapItem

public Item mapItem(Item item)
             throws XPathException

Map an item to another item

Specified by:

mapItem in interface ItemMappingFunction

Parameters:

item - The input item to be mapped.

Returns:

the result of the mapping: maybe null

Throws:

XPathException

getExpressionCompiler

public ExpressionCompiler getExpressionCompiler()

Return the compiler of the EmptyTextNodeRemover expression

Overrides:

getExpressionCompiler in class Expression

Returns:

the relevant ExpressionCompiler

getStreamingAdjunct

public EmptyTextNodeRemoverAdjunct getStreamingAdjunct()

Get a class that supports streamed evaluation of this expression

Overrides:

getStreamingAdjunct in class Expression

Returns:

the relevant StreamingAdjunct, or null if none is available

getExpressionName

public String getExpressionName()

Description copied from class: Expression

Get a name identifying the kind of expression, in terms meaningful to a user.

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.
