public class NodeSetPattern
extends Pattern

A NodeSetPattern is a pattern based on an expression that is evaluated to return a set of nodes; a node matches the pattern if it is a member of this node-set.

In XSLT 2.0 there are two forms of NodeSetPattern allowed, represented by calls on the id() and key() functions. In XSLT 3.0, additional forms are allowed, for example a variable reference, and a call to the doc() function. This class provides the general capability to use any expression at the head of a pattern. This is used also to support streaming, where streaming XPath expressions are mapped to patterns.

Constructor Detail

NodeSetPattern

public NodeSetPattern(Expression exp)

Create a node-set pattern.

Parameters:

exp - an expression that can be evaluated to return a node-set; a node matches the pattern if it is present in this node-set. The expression must not depend on the focus, though it can depend on other aspects of the dynamic context such as local or global variables.

Method Detail

operands

public java.lang.Iterable<Operand> operands()

Get the immediate sub-expressions of this expression, with information about the relationship of each expression to its parent expression. Default implementation works off the results of iterateSubExpressions()

If the expression is a Callable, then it is required that the order of the operands returned by this function is the same as the order of arguments supplied to the corresponding call() method.

Overrides:

operands in class Expression

Returns:

an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression

getSelectionExpression

public Expression getSelectionExpression()

Get the underlying expression

Returns:

the expression that returns all the selected nodes

typeCheck

public Pattern typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                         ContextItemStaticInfo contextItemType)
                  throws XPathException

Type-check the pattern. Default implementation does nothing. This is only needed for patterns that contain variable references or function calls.

Overrides:

typeCheck in class Pattern

Parameters:

visitor - the expression visitor

contextItemType - the type of the context item at the point where the pattern is defined. Set to null if it is known that the context item is undefined.

Returns:

the optimised Pattern

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

optimize

public Pattern optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                        ContextItemStaticInfo contextInfo)
                 throws XPathException

Description copied from class: Pattern

Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the third and final phase of static optimization.

This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved to the declaration of the function or variable, and after all type checking has been done.

Overrides:

optimize in class Pattern

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

contextInfo - the static type of "." at the point where this expression is invoked. The parameter is set to null if it is known statically that the context item will be undefined. If the type of the context item is not known statically, the argument is set to Type.ITEM_TYPE

Returns:

the original expression, rewritten if appropriate to optimize execution

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

setItemType

public void setItemType(ItemType type)

Set the item type, that is, the type of nodes/items which the pattern will match

Parameters:

type - the item type that the pattern will match

getDependencies

public int getDependencies()

Get the dependencies of the pattern. The only possible dependency for a pattern is on local variables. This is analyzed in those patterns where local variables may appear.

Overrides:

getDependencies in class Pattern

Returns:

the dependencies, as a bit-significant mask

isMotionless

public boolean isMotionless()

Test whether a pattern is motionless, that is, whether it can be evaluated against a node without repositioning the input stream. This is a necessary condition for patterns used as the match pattern of a streamed template rule.

Overrides:

isMotionless in class Pattern

Returns:

true if the pattern is motionless, that is, if it can be evaluated against a streamed node without changing the position in the streamed input file

allocateSlots

public int allocateSlots(SlotManager slotManager,
                         int nextFree)

Allocate slots to any variables used within the pattern

Overrides:

allocateSlots in class Pattern

Parameters:

slotManager - the slot manager representing the stack frame for local variables

nextFree - the next slot that is free to be allocated @return the next slot that is free to be allocated

Returns:

the next slot that is free to be allocated

selectNodes

public SequenceIterator selectNodes(TreeInfo doc,
                                    XPathContext context)
                             throws XPathException

Select nodes in a document using this PatternFinder.

Overrides:

selectNodes in class Pattern

Parameters:

doc - the document node at the root of a tree

context - the dynamic evaluation context

Returns:

an iterator over the selected nodes in the document.

Throws:

XPathException

matches

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

Determine whether this Pattern matches the given Node

Specified by:

matches in class Pattern

Parameters:

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

context - The dynamic context.

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)

getUType

public UType getUType()

Get a UType indicating which kinds of items this Pattern can match.

Specified by:

getUType in class Pattern

Returns:

a UType indicating all the primitive types of item that the pattern can match.

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType()

Get a NodeTest that all the nodes matching this pattern must satisfy

Specified by:

getItemType in class Pattern

Returns:

an ItemType, as specific as possible, which all the matching items satisfy

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object other)

Determine whether this pattern is the same as another pattern

Overrides:

equals in class Expression

Parameters:

other - the other object

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()

Hashcode supporting equals()

Overrides:

computeHashCode in class Expression

Returns:

a computed hash code

copy

public Pattern copy(RebindingMap rebindings)

Copy a pattern. This makes a deep copy.

Specified by:

copy in class Pattern

Parameters:

rebindings - variable bindings to be changed if encountered

Returns:

the copy of the original pattern

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

Specified by:

export in class Pattern

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.
