Class XQueryCompiler

  • public class XQueryCompiler
extends java.lang.Object
    An XQueryCompiler object allows XQuery 1.0 queries to be compiled. The compiler holds information that represents the static context for the compilation.

    To construct an XQueryCompiler, use the factory method Processor.newXQueryCompiler().

    An XQueryCompiler may be used repeatedly to compile multiple queries. Any changes made to the XQueryCompiler (that is, to the static context) do not affect queries that have already been compiled. An XQueryCompiler may in principle be used concurrently in multiple threads, but in practice this is best avoided because all instances will share the same ErrorReporter or ErrorListener and it will therefore be difficult to establish which error messages are associated with each compilation.

    9.0

        Parameters:
        baseURI - the static base URI; or null to indicate that no base URI is available

      • getBaseURI

        public java.net.URI getBaseURI()
        Get the static base URI for the query
        Returns:
        the static base URI

      • setErrorListener

        public void setErrorListener​(javax.xml.transform.ErrorListener listener)
        Set the ErrorListener to be used during this query compilation episode.

        This method is obsoleted by setErrorReporter(ErrorReporter), and its effect is to set an error reporter that delegates to the supplied ErrorListener.

        Parameters:
        listener - The error listener to be used. This is notified of all errors detected during the compilation. Static errors (as defined in the XQuery specification) are notified to the ErrorListener.fatalError(javax.xml.transform.TransformerException) method. Warnings are notified to the ErrorListener.warning(javax.xml.transform.TransformerException). Any exception thrown by these methods is ignored.

      • getErrorListener

        public javax.xml.transform.ErrorListener getErrorListener()
        Get the ErrorListener being used during this compilation episode
        Returns:
        listener The error listener in use. This is notified of all errors detected during the compilation. If no user-supplied ErrorListener has been set, returns the system-supplied ErrorListener.

      • setErrorReporter

        public void setErrorReporter​(ErrorReporter reporter)
        Supply a callback which will be notified of all static errors and warnings encountered during a compilation carried out using this XQueryCompiler.

        Calling this method overwrites the effect of any previous call on setErrorListener(ErrorListener) or setErrorList.

        If no error reporter is supplied by the caller, error information will be written to the standard error stream. Applications should then ensure that the contents of this stream are made visible to the query author.

        This error reporter is not used for dynamic errors occurring during query execution.

        Note that if multiple compilations are carried out concurrently in different threads using the same XQueryCompiler, then the ErrorReporter must be thread-safe; messages from different compilations will be interleaved, and there is no obvious way of determining which message originated from which compilation. In practice, it is only sensible to do this in an environment where the queries are known to be error-free.

        Parameters:
        reporter - a callback function which will be notified of all Static errors and warnings encountered during a compilation episode.
        Since:
        10.0

      • setCompileWithTracing

        public void setCompileWithTracing​(boolean option)
        Set whether trace hooks are to be included in the compiled code. To use tracing, it is necessary both to compile the code with trace hooks included, and to supply a TraceListener at run-time
        Parameters:
        option - true if trace code is to be compiled in, false otherwise

      • isCompileWithTracing

        public boolean isCompileWithTracing()
        Ask whether trace hooks are included in the compiled code.
        Returns:
        true if trace hooks are included, false if not.

      • setModuleURIResolver

        public void setModuleURIResolver​(ModuleURIResolver resolver)
        Set a user-defined ModuleURIResolver for resolving URIs used in import module declarations in the XQuery prolog. This will override any ModuleURIResolver that was specified as part of the configuration.
        Parameters:
        resolver - the ModuleURIResolver to be used

      • getModuleURIResolver

        public ModuleURIResolver getModuleURIResolver()
        Get the user-defined ModuleURIResolver for resolving URIs used in import module declarations in the XQuery prolog; returns null if none has been explicitly set either here or in the Saxon Configuration.
        Returns:
        the registered ModuleURIResolver

      • setEncoding

        public void setEncoding​(java.lang.String encoding)
        Set the encoding of the supplied query. This is ignored if the query is supplied in character form, that is, as a String or as a Reader. If no value is set, the query processor will attempt to infer the encoding, defaulting to UTF-8 if no information is available.
        Parameters:
        encoding - the encoding of the supplied query, for example "iso-8859-1"
        Since:
        9.1

      • getEncoding

        public java.lang.String getEncoding()
        Get the encoding previously set for the supplied query.
        Returns:
        the encoding previously set using setEncoding(String), or null if no value has been set. Note that this is not necessarily the actual encoding of the query.
        Since:
        9.2

      • setUpdatingEnabled

        public void setUpdatingEnabled​(boolean updating)
        Say whether the query is allowed to be updating. XQuery update syntax will be rejected during query compilation unless this flag is set. XQuery Update is supported only under Saxon-EE.
        Parameters:
        updating - true if the query is allowed to use the XQuery Update facility (requires Saxon-EE). If set to false, the query must not be an updating query. If set to true, it may be either an updating or a non-updating query.
        Throws:
        java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - if updating is requested and the Saxon Configuration does not support updating, either because it is not an EnterpriseConfiguration, or because no license key is available.
        Since:
        9.1

      • isUpdatingEnabled

        public boolean isUpdatingEnabled()
        Ask whether the query is allowed to use XQuery Update syntax
        Returns:
        true if the query is allowed to use the XQuery Update facility. Note that this does not necessarily mean that the query is an updating query; but if the value is false, then it must definitely be non-updating.
        Since:
        9.1

      • setSchemaAware

        public void setSchemaAware​(boolean schemaAware)
        Say that the query must be compiled to be schema-aware, even if it contains no "import schema" declarations. Normally a query is treated as schema-aware only if it contains one or more "import schema" declarations. If it is not schema-aware, then all input documents must be untyped (or xs:anyType), and validation of temporary nodes is disallowed (though validation of the final result tree is permitted). Setting the argument to true means that schema-aware code will be compiled regardless.
        Parameters:
        schemaAware - If true, the stylesheet will be compiled with schema-awareness enabled even if it contains no xsl:import-schema declarations. If false, the stylesheet is treated as schema-aware only if it contains one or more xsl:import-schema declarations. Note that setting the value to false does not disable use of an import-schema declaration.
        Since:
        9.2

      • isSchemaAware

        public boolean isSchemaAware()
        Ask whether schema-awareness has been requested either by means of a call on setSchemaAware(boolean)
        Returns:
        true if schema-awareness has been requested
        Since:
        9.2

      • setStreaming

        public void setStreaming​(boolean option)
        Say whether the query should be compiled and evaluated to use streaming. This affects subsequent calls on the compile() methods. This option requires Saxon-EE.
        Parameters:
        option - if true, the compiler will attempt to compile a query to be capable of executing in streaming mode. If the query cannot be streamed, a compile-time exception is reported. In streaming mode, the source document is supplied as a stream, and no tree is built in memory. The default is false.

        When setStreaming(true) is specified, this has the additional side-effect of setting the required context item type to "document-node()"

        Since:
        9.6

      • isStreaming

        public boolean isStreaming()
        Ask whether the streaming option has been set, that is, whether subsequent calls on compile() will compile queries to be capable of executing in streaming mode.
        Returns:
        true if the streaming option has been set.
        Since:
        9.6

      • getLanguageVersion

        public java.lang.String getLanguageVersion()
        Ask whether an XQuery 1.0 or XQuery 3.0 or XQuery 3.1 processor is being used
        Returns:
        always "3.1" in the current Saxon release.
        Since:
        9.2. From Saxon 9.8, only XQuery 3.1 is supported

      • declareNamespace

        public void declareNamespace​(java.lang.String prefix,
                             java.lang.String uri)
        Declare a namespace binding as part of the static context for queries compiled using this XQueryCompiler. This binding may be overridden by a binding that appears in the query prolog. The namespace binding will form part of the static context of the query, but it will not be copied into result trees unless the prefix is actually used in an element or attribute name.
        Parameters:
        prefix - The namespace prefix. If the value is a zero-length string, this method sets the default namespace for elements and types.
        uri - The namespace URI. It is possible to specify a zero-length string to "undeclare" a namespace; in this case the prefix will not be available for use, except in the case where the prefix is also a zero length string, in which case the absence of a prefix implies that the name is in no namespace.
        Throws:
        java.lang.NullPointerException - if either the prefix or uri is null.
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - in the event of an invalid declaration of the XML namespace

      • declareDefaultCollation

        public void declareDefaultCollation​(java.lang.String uri)
        Declare the default collation
        Parameters:
        uri - the absolute URI of the default collation. This URI must have been bound to a collation using the method Configuration.registerCollation(String, StringCollator), or it must be one that is recognized implicitly, such as a UCA collation
        Throws:
        java.lang.NullPointerException - if the collation URI is null
        java.lang.IllegalStateException - if the collation URI has not been registered, unless it is the standard Unicode codepoint collation which is registered implicitly
        Since:
        9.4

      • setRequiredContextItemType

        public void setRequiredContextItemType​(ItemType type)
        Declare the static type of the context item. If this type is declared, and if a context item is supplied when the query is invoked, then the context item must conform to this type (no type conversion will take place to force it into this type).
        Parameters:
        type - the required type of the context item

      • getRequiredContextItemType

        public ItemType getRequiredContextItemType()
        Get the required type of the context item. If no type has been explicitly declared for the context item, an instance of AnyItemType (representing the type item()) is returned.
        Returns:
        the required type of the context item

      • setFastCompilation

        public void setFastCompilation​(boolean fast)
        Request fast compilation. Fast compilation will generally be achieved at the expense of run-time performance and quality of diagnostics. Fast compilation is a good trade-off if (a) the expression is known to be correct, and (b) once compiled, the expression is only executed once against a document of modest size.

        The current implementation is equivalent to switching off all optimizations. Setting this option, however, indicates an intent rather than a mechanism, and the implementation details may change in future to reflect the intent.

        Parameters:
        fast - set to true to request fast compilation; set to false to revert to the optimization options defined in the Configuration.
        Since:
        9.9

      • isFastCompilation

        public boolean isFastCompilation()
        Ask if fast compilation has been enabled.
        Returns:
        true if fast compilation has been enabled

        9.9

      • compileLibrary

        public void compileLibrary​(java.lang.String query)
                    throws SaxonApiException
        Compile a library module supplied as a string. The code generated by compiling the library is available for importing by all subsequent compilations using the same XQueryCompiler; it is identified by an "import module" declaration that specifies the module URI of the library module. No module location hint is required, and if one is present, it is ignored.

        The base URI of the query should be supplied by calling setBaseURI(java.net.URI)

        Separate compilation of library modules is supported only under Saxon-EE

        Parameters:
        query - the text of the query
        Throws:

        Compile a library module supplied as a file. The code generated by compiling the library is available for importing by all subsequent compilations using the same XQueryCompiler; it is identified by an "import module" declaration that specifies the module URI of the library module. No module location hint is required, and if one is present, it is ignored.

        The encoding of the input stream may be specified using setEncoding(String); if this has not been set, the compiler determines the encoding from the version header of the query, and if that too is absent, it assumes UTF-8.

        Separate compilation of library modules is supported only under Saxon-EE

        Parameters:
        query - the file containing the query. The URI corresponding to this file will be used as the base URI of the query, overriding any URI supplied using setBaseURI(java.net.URI) (but not overriding any base URI specified within the query prolog)
        Throws:
        SaxonApiException - if the query compilation fails with a static error
        java.io.IOException - if the file does not exist or cannot be read

        Compile a library module supplied as an InputStream. The code generated by compiling the library is available for importing by all subsequent compilations using the same XQueryCompiler; it is identified by an "import module" declaration that specifies the module URI of the library module. No module location hint is required, and if one is present, it is ignored.

        The encoding of the input stream may be specified using setEncoding(String); if this has not been set, the compiler determines the encoding from the version header of the query, and if that too is absent, it assumes UTF-8.

        public StaticQueryContext getUnderlyingStaticContext()
        Get the underlying StaticQueryContext object that maintains the static context information on behalf of this XQueryCompiler. This method provides an escape hatch to internal Saxon implementation objects that offer a finer and lower-level degree of control than the s9api classes and methods. Some of these classes and methods may change from release to release.
        Returns:
        the underlying StaticQueryContext object

      • setErrorList

        public void setErrorList​(java.util.List<? super StaticError> errorList)
        List of errors. The caller should supply an empty list before calling Compile; the processor will then populate the list with error information obtained during the compilation. Each error will be included as an object of type StaticError.

        If no error list is supplied by the caller, error information will be written to the standard error stream. Applications should then ensure that the contents of this stream are made visible to the query author.

        By supplying a custom List with a user-written add() method, it is possible to intercept error conditions as they occur. Such a custom List can conveniently be implemented by extending AbstractList, in which case the only methods that need to be provided are java.util.AbstractList#get, java.util.AbstractList#size, and java.util.AbstractList#add; and the first two of these can be dummy implementations.

        Calling this method is equivalent to calling setErrorReporter(errorList::add): that is, it registers an ErrorReporter whose ErrorReporter.report(net.sf.saxon.s9api.XmlProcessingError) method adds the error to the list.

        Parameters:
        errorList - a (typically empty) list that will be populated with StaticError objects giving details of any static errors found in the query.
        Since:
        9.9. Redefined in 10.0 as a convenience wrapper over the new setErrorReporter(ErrorReporter) method.
