public class CurrentGroupPattern
extends AnchorPattern

This is a special pattern that matches the "anchor node". It is used for the selectors that arise when evaluating XPath expressions in streaming mode; the anchor node is the context node for the streamed XPath evaluation. Given a streamed evaluation of an expression such as ./BOOKS/BOOK/PRICE, the way we evaluate this is to turn it into a pattern, which is then tested against all descendant nodes. Conceptually the pattern is $A/BOOKS/BOOK/PRICE, where $A is referred to as the anchor node. When we evaluate the pattern against (say) a PRICE element, the match will only succeed if the name of the element is "PRICE" and its ancestors are, in order, a BOOK element, a BOOKS element, and the anchor node $A.

Method Detail

getInstance

public static CurrentGroupPattern getInstance()

matchesCurrentGroup

public boolean matchesCurrentGroup()

Ask whether the pattern is anchored on a call on current-group()

Overrides:

matchesCurrentGroup in class Pattern

Returns:

true if calls on matchesBeneathAnchor should test with all nodes in the current group as anchor nodes. If false, only the first node in a group is treated as the anchor node

matchesBeneathAnchor

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

Description copied from class: AnchorPattern

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 AnchorPattern

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 - if an error occurs while matching the pattern (the caller will usually treat this the same as a false result)

export

public void export(ExpressionPresenter presenter)
            throws XPathException

Description copied from class: Expression

Diagnostic print of expression structure. The abstract expression tree is written to the supplied output destination.

Specified by:

export in interface ExportAgent

Overrides:

export in class AnchorPattern

Parameters:

presenter - the expression presenter used to display the structure

Throws:

XPathException - if the export fails, for example if an expression is found that won't work in the target environment.
