public class UntypedAtomicValue
extends StringValue

An Untyped Atomic value. This inherits from StringValue for implementation convenience, even though an untypedAtomic value is not a String in the data model type hierarchy.

public static final UntypedAtomicValue ZERO_LENGTH_UNTYPED

Constructor Detail

UntypedAtomicValue

public UntypedAtomicValue(CharSequence value)

Constructor

Parameters:

value - the String value. Null is taken as equivalent to "".

Method Detail

copyAsSubType

public AtomicValue copyAsSubType(AtomicType typeLabel)

Create a copy of this atomic value, with a different type label

Overrides:

copyAsSubType in class StringValue

Parameters:

typeLabel - the type label of the new copy. The caller is responsible for checking that the value actually conforms to this type.

Returns:

the copied value

getPrimitiveType

public BuiltInAtomicType getPrimitiveType()

Determine the primitive type of the value. This delivers the same answer as getItemType().getPrimitiveItemType(). The primitive types are the 19 primitive types of XML Schema, plus xs:integer, xs:dayTimeDuration and xs:yearMonthDuration, and xs:untypedAtomic. For external objects, the result is AnyAtomicType.

Overrides:

getPrimitiveType in class StringValue

Returns:

the primitive type

compareTo

public int compareTo(AtomicValue other,
            StringCollator collator,
            XPathContext context)

Compare an untypedAtomic value with another value, using a given collator to perform any string comparisons. This works by converting the untypedAtomic value to the type of the other operand, which is the correct behavior for operators like "=" and "!=", but not for "eq" and "ne": in the latter case, the untypedAtomic value is converted to a string and this method is therefore not used.

Parameters:

other - the value to compare this value with

collator - the collation to be used for comparing strings

context - the XPath dynamic context

Returns:

-1 if the this value is less than the other, 0 if they are equal, +1 if this value is greater.

Throws:

ClassCastException - if the value cannot be cast to the type of the other operand
