public class While
extends Instruction

Handler for saxon:while elements in stylesheet.
The saxon:while element has a mandatory attribute test, a boolean expression. The content is output repeatedly so long as the test condition is true.

Constructor Detail

While

public While(Expression test,
             Expression action)

Method Detail

getTest

public Expression getTest()

setTest

public void setTest(Expression test)

getAction

public Expression getAction()

setAction

public void setAction(Expression action)

operands

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

Description copied from class: Expression

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.

Specified by:

operands in class Instruction

Returns:

an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression

getInstructionNameCode

public int getInstructionNameCode()

Get the name of this instruction for diagnostic and tracing purposes

Overrides:

getInstructionNameCode in class Instruction

Returns:

the string "saxon:while"

getActionExpression

public Expression getActionExpression()

Get the action expression (the content of the for-each)

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

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType()

Get the item type of the items returned by evaluating this instruction

Overrides:

getItemType in class Instruction

Returns:

the static item type of the instruction

mayCreateNewNodes

public final boolean mayCreateNewNodes()

Determine whether this instruction creates new nodes. This implementation returns true if the "action" creates new nodes. (Nodes created by the condition can't contribute to the result).

Overrides:

mayCreateNewNodes in class Instruction

Returns:

true if the instruction creates new nodes under some input conditions (or if it can't be proved that it doesn't)

processLeavingTail

public TailCall processLeavingTail(Outputter output,
                                   XPathContext context)
                            throws XPathException

Description copied from class: Instruction

ProcessLeavingTail: called to do the real work of this instruction. This method must be implemented in each subclass. The results of the instruction are written to the current Receiver, which can be obtained via the Controller.

Specified by:

processLeavingTail in interface TailCallReturner

Specified by:

processLeavingTail in class Instruction

Parameters:

output - the destination for the result

context - The dynamic context of the transformation, giving access to the current node, the current variables, etc.

Returns:

null if the instruction has completed execution; or a TailCall indicating a function call or template call that is delegated to the caller, to be made after the stack has been unwound so as to save stack space.

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs during the evaluation of the instruction

export

public void export(ExpressionPresenter out)
            throws XPathException

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 Expression

Parameters:

out - 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.
