Class ConditionalSorter

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    ExportAgent, Locatable, IdentityComparable, Traceable
    public class ConditionalSorter
extends Expression
    An expression that sorts an underlying sequence into document order if some condition is true, or that returns the sequence "as is" (knowing that it doesn't need sorting) if the condition is false.

    • Constructor Detail

      • ConditionalSorter

        public ConditionalSorter​(Expression condition,
                         DocumentSorter sorter)
        Create a conditional document sorter
        Parameters:

    • Method Detail

      • 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.

        Overrides:
        operands in class Expression
        Returns:
        an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression

      • setCondition

        public void setCondition​(Expression condition)

      • setDocumentSorter

        public void setDocumentSorter​(DocumentSorter documentSorter)

      • getCondition

        public Expression getCondition()
        Get the condition under which the nodes need to be sorted
        Returns:
        the condition (an expression)

      • getDocumentSorter

        public DocumentSorter getDocumentSorter()
        Get the document sorter, which sorts the nodes if the condition is true
        Returns:
        the document sorter

      • simplify

        public Expression simplify()
                    throws XPathException
        Description copied from class: Expression
        Simplify an expression. This performs any static optimization (by rewriting the expression as a different expression). The default implementation simplifies its operands.
        Overrides:
        simplify in class Expression
        Returns:
        the simplified expression (or the original if unchanged, or if modified in-situ)
        Throws:
        XPathException - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting

      • typeCheck

        public Expression typeCheck​(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                            ContextItemStaticInfo contextInfo)
                     throws XPathException
        Perform type checking of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the second phase of static optimization.
        Overrides:
        typeCheck in class Expression
        Parameters:
        visitor - an expression visitor
        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)

      • getCardinality

        public int getCardinality()
        Determine the static cardinality of the expression. This establishes how many items there will be in the result of the expression, at compile time (i.e., without actually evaluating the result.
        Overrides:
        getCardinality in class Expression
        Returns:
        one of the values Cardinality.ONE_OR_MORE, Cardinality.ZERO_OR_MORE, Cardinality.EXACTLY_ONE, Cardinality.ZERO_OR_ONE, Cardinality.EMPTY. This default implementation returns ZERO_OR_MORE (which effectively gives no information).

      • computeSpecialProperties

        protected int computeSpecialProperties()
        Compute the special properties of this expression. These properties are denoted by a bit-significant integer, possible values are in class StaticProperty. The "special" properties are properties other than cardinality and dependencies, and most of them relate to properties of node sequences, for example whether the nodes are in document order.
        Overrides:
        computeSpecialProperties in class Expression
        Returns:
        the special properties, as a bit-significant integer

      • 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

      • optimize

        public Expression optimize​(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                           ContextItemStaticInfo contextInfo)
                    throws XPathException
        Description copied from class: Expression
        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 Expression
        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)

      • unordered

        public Expression unordered​(boolean retainAllNodes,
                            boolean forStreaming)
                     throws XPathException
        Description copied from class: Expression
        Replace this expression by a simpler expression that delivers the results without regard to order.
        Overrides:
        unordered in class Expression
        Parameters:
        retainAllNodes - set to true if the result must contain exactly the same nodes as the original; set to false if the result can eliminate (or introduce) duplicates.
        forStreaming - set to true if the result is to be optimized for streaming
        Returns:
        an expression that delivers the same nodes in a more convenient order
        Throws:
        XPathException - if the rewrite fails

      • copy

        public Expression copy​(RebindingMap rebindings)
        Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.
        Specified by:
        copy in class Expression
        Parameters:
        rebindings - the rebinding map
        Returns:
        the copy of the original expression

      • 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.

      • getItemType

        public ItemType getItemType()
        Determine the data type of the expression, if possible. All expression return sequences, in general; this method determines the type of the items within the sequence, assuming that (a) this is known in advance, and (b) it is the same for all items in the sequence.

        This method should always return a result, though it may be the best approximation that is available at the time.

        Specified by:
        getItemType in class Expression
        Returns:
        a value such as Type.STRING, Type.BOOLEAN, Type.NUMBER, Type.NODE, or Type.ITEM (meaning not known at compile time)

      • iterate

        public SequenceIterator iterate​(XPathContext context)
                         throws XPathException
        Return an Iterator to iterate over the values of a sequence. The value of every expression can be regarded as a sequence, so this method is supported for all expressions. This default implementation handles iteration for expressions that return singleton values: for non-singleton expressions, the subclass must provide its own implementation.
        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

      • getExpressionName

        public java.lang.String getExpressionName()
        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.
