Class FunctionSequenceCoercer

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    ExportAgent, Locatable, IdentityComparable, Traceable
    public final class FunctionSequenceCoercer
extends UnaryExpression
    An FunctionSequenceCoercer is an expression that performs function coercion on a sequence of function items: it takes a sequence of supplied items as input, and wraps each one in a CoercedFunction value, which dynamically converts the supplied arguments to the required type, and converts the result in the opposite direction, or throws a type error if conversion is not possible.

      • FunctionSequenceCoercer

        public FunctionSequenceCoercer​(Expression sequence,
                               SpecificFunctionType requiredItemType,
                               RoleDiagnostic role)
        Constructor
        Parameters:
        sequence - this must be a sequence of function item values. This is not checked; a ClassCastException will occur if the precondition is not satisfied.
        requiredItemType - the function item type to which all items in the sequence should be converted,

        Returns:
        the simplified expression (or the original if unchanged, or if modified in-situ)

        XPathException - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting

      • typeCheck

        public Expression typeCheck​(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                            ContextItemStaticInfo contextInfo)

        Type-check the expression
        Overrides:
        typeCheck in class UnaryExpression
        Parameters:

        contextInfo - Information available statically about the context item: whether it is (possibly) absent; its static type; its streaming posture.
        Returns:
        the original expression, rewritten to perform necessary run-time type checks, and to perform other type-related optimizations
        Throws:
        XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

      • copy

        public Expression copy​(RebindingMap rebindings)
        Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.
        Specified by:
        copy in class Expression
        Parameters:
        rebindings - variables that need to be re-bound
        Returns:
        the copy of the original 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 provided directly. The other methods will always be available indirectly, using an implementation that relies on one of the other methods.
        Specified by:
        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
        Iterate over the sequence of functions, wrapping each one in a CoercedFunction object
        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

      • evaluateItem

        public Function evaluateItem​(XPathContext context)
                      throws XPathException
        Evaluate as an Item. This should only be called if the FunctionSequenceCoercer has cardinality zero-or-one
        Overrides:
        evaluateItem in class Expression
        Parameters:
        context - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated
        Returns:
        the node or atomic value that results from evaluating the expression; or null to indicate that the result is an empty sequence
        Throws:
        XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

      • getItemType

        public SpecificFunctionType getItemType()
        Determine the data type of the items returned by the expression, if possible
        Overrides:
        getItemType in class UnaryExpression
        Returns:
        a value such as Type.STRING, Type.BOOLEAN, Type.NUMBER, Type.NODE, or Type.ITEM (meaning not known in advance)

      • equals

        public boolean equals​(java.lang.Object other)
        Is this expression the same as another expression?
        Overrides:
        equals in class UnaryExpression
        Parameters:
        other - the other operand; the result is false if this is not an Expression
        Returns:
        true if the other operand is an expression and if it can be determined that the two expressions are equivalent, in the sense that they will always return the same result.

      • computeHashCode

        public int computeHashCode()
        Description copied from class: UnaryExpression
        get HashCode for comparing two expressions. Note that this hashcode gives the same result for (A op B) and for (B op A), whether or not the operator is commutative.
        Overrides:
        computeHashCode in class UnaryExpression
        Returns:
        a computed hash code

      • getExpressionName

        public java.lang.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 export() output displaying the expression.

      • export

        public void export​(ExpressionPresenter destination)
            throws XPathException
        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 UnaryExpression
        Parameters:
        destination - 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.
