      • getNodeName

        public static StructuredQName getNodeName​(NodeInfo node)

        Parameters:
        node - the node whose base URI is required
        isTopElementWithinEntity - a predicate applied to a node that can be tested to determine if the node is an element that originated as the outermost element within an external entity. If this is the case, the rules for determining the base URI are slightly different; in particular, any @xml:base attribute on such a node is interpreted relative to the system ID of the entity, not relative to the base URI of the parent node.
        Returns:
        the base URI of the node
        Since:
        9.9

      • getPath

        public static java.lang.String getPath​(NodeInfo node)
        Get an absolute XPath expression that identifies a given node within its document
        Parameters:
        node - the node whose path is required. If null is supplied, an empty string is returned - this fact is used in making a recursive call for a parentless node.
        Returns:

      • getPath

        public static java.lang.String getPath​(NodeInfo node,

        Get an absolute XPath expression that identifies a given node within its document. The resulting path is intended for human readers, not for software evaluation. It uses lexical QNames (prefix:localname) for element and attribute names, with the original prefix as it appears in the source document. The sibling position of an element (a/b[2]) is included unless the node is a streamed node.
        Parameters:
        node - the node whose path is required. If null is supplied, an empty string is returned - this fact is used in making a recursive call for a parentless node.
        context - the XPath dynamic evaluation context. May be null if no context is known
        Returns:
        a path expression that can be used to retrieve the node

        Parameters:
        node - The node whose number is required
        context - Used for remembering previous result, for performance. May be null.

                           throws XPathException
        Get node number (level="single"). If the current node matches the supplied pattern, the returned number is one plus the number of previous siblings that match the pattern. Otherwise, return the element number of the nearest ancestor that matches the supplied pattern.
        Parameters:
        node - the current node, the one whose node number is required
        count - Pattern that identifies which nodes should be counted. Default (null) is the element name if the current node is an element, or "node()" otherwise.
        from - Pattern that specifies where counting starts from. Default (null) is the root node. (This parameter does not seem useful but is included for the sake of XSLT conformance.)
        context - the dynamic context of the transformation, used if the patterns reference context values (e.g. variables)
        Returns:
        the node number established as follows: go to the nearest ancestor-or-self that matches the 'count' pattern and that is a descendant of the nearest ancestor that matches the 'from' pattern. Return one plus the nunber of preceding siblings of that ancestor that match the 'count' pattern. If there is no such ancestor, return 0.
        Throws:
        XPathException - when any error occurs in processing

                        throws XPathException
        Get node number (level="any"). Return one plus the number of previous nodes in the document that match the supplied pattern
        Parameters:
        inst - Identifies the xsl:number expression; this is relevant when the function is memoised to support repeated use of the same instruction to number multiple nodes
        node - The node being numbered
        count - Pattern that identifies which nodes should be counted. Default (null) is the element name if the current node is an element, or "node()" otherwise.
        from - Pattern that specifies where counting starts from. Default (null) is the root node. Only nodes at or after the first (most recent) node that matches the 'from' pattern are counted.
        context - The dynamic context for the transformation
        hasVariablesInPatterns - if the count or from patterns contain variables, then it's not safe to get the answer by adding one to the number of the most recent node that matches
        Returns:
        one plus the number of nodes that precede the current node, that match the count pattern, and that follow the first node that matches the from pattern if specified.

        XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs

        Parameters:
        node - The node to be numbered
        count - Pattern that identifies which nodes (ancestors and their previous siblings) should be counted. Default (null) is the element name if the current node is an element, or "node()" otherwise.

        context - The dynamic context for the transformation
        Returns:
        a vector containing for each ancestor-or-self that matches the count pattern and that is below the nearest node that matches the from pattern, an Integer which is one greater than the number of previous siblings that match the count pattern.
