Class WherePopulatedOutputter

All Implemented Interfaces:
Result, Receiver

public class WherePopulatedOutputter extends ProxyOutputter
This class acts as a filter on a push pipeline, allowing through only those items that are deemed non-empty according to the rules of the xsl:where-populated instruction.

The items that are deemed empty, and therefore excluded, are:

  • Document and element nodes having no children
  • Nodes other than document and element nodes whose string value is zero-length
  • Atomic values such that string(A) is zero-length
  • Maps containing no entries
  • Arrays which, when flattened, are either empty, or consist entirely of deemed-empty items

Note that these rules apply only to top-level items in the sequence passed through this Outputter. Events representing items nested within a top-level document or element node are always passed through; they are examined only to determine the emptiness or otherwise of their contained.

    • startDocument Link icon

      public void startDocument(int properties) throws XPathException
      Start of a document node.
      Specified by:
      startDocument in interface Receiver
      Overrides:
      startDocument in class ProxyOutputter
      Parameters:
      properties - bit-significant integer indicating properties of the document node. The definitions of the bits are in class ReceiverOption
      Throws:
      XPathException - if an error occurs
    • startElement Link icon

      public void startElement(NodeName elemName, SchemaType type, Location location, int properties) throws XPathException
      Notify the start of an element
      Overrides:
      startElement in class ProxyOutputter
      Parameters:
      elemName - the name of the element.
      type - the type annotation of the element.
      location - an object providing information about the module, line, and column where the node originated
      properties - bit-significant properties of the element node. If there are no relevant properties, zero is supplied. The definitions of the bits are in class ReceiverOption
      Throws:
      XPathException - if an error occurs
    • startElement Link icon

      public void startElement(NodeName elemName, SchemaType type, AttributeMap attributes, NamespaceMap namespaces, Location location, int properties) throws XPathException
      Notify the start of an element
      Specified by:
      startElement in interface Receiver
      Overrides:
      startElement in class ProxyOutputter
      Parameters:
      elemName - the name of the element.
      type - the type annotation of the element.
      attributes - the attributes of this element
      namespaces - the in-scope namespaces of this element: generally this is all the in-scope namespaces, without relying on inheriting namespaces from parent elements
      location - an object providing information about the module, line, and column where the node originated
      properties - bit-significant properties of the element node. If there are no relevant properties, zero is supplied. The definitions of the bits are in class ReceiverOption
      Throws:
      XPathException - if an error occurs
    • namespace Link icon

      public void namespace(String prefix, NamespaceUri namespaceUri, int properties) throws XPathException
      Notify a namespace binding.
      Overrides:
      namespace in class ProxyOutputter
      Parameters:
      prefix - The namespace prefix; zero-length string for the default namespace
      namespaceUri - The namespace URI. In some cases a zero-length string may be used to indicate a namespace undeclaration.
      properties - The REJECT_DUPLICATES property: if set, the namespace declaration will be rejected if it conflicts with a previous declaration of the same prefix. If the property is not set, the namespace declaration will be ignored if it conflicts with a previous declaration. This reflects the fact that when copying a tree, namespaces for child elements are emitted before the namespaces of their parent element. Unfortunately this conflicts with the XSLT rule for complex content construction, where the recovery action in the event of conflicts is to take the namespace that comes last. XSLT therefore doesn't recover from this error:
      Throws:
      XPathException - if an error occurs
    • attribute Link icon

      public void attribute(NodeName attName, SimpleType typeCode, String value, Location location, int properties) throws XPathException

      Parameters:
      attName - The name of the attribute

      properties - Bit significant value. The following bits are defined:
      DISABLE_ESCAPING
      Disable escaping for this attribute
      NO_SPECIAL_CHARACTERS
      Attribute value contains no special characters
      Throws:
      XPathException - if an error occurs

      Description copied from class: ProxyOutputter
      Append an arbitrary item (node, atomic value, or function) to the output. By default, if the item is an element node, it is copied with all namespaces. The default implementation calls ProxyOutputter.append(Item, Location, int), whose default implementation throws UnsupportedOperationException

      Overrides:
      append in class ProxyOutputter

      item - the item to be appended
      Throws:
      XPathException - if the operation fails
    • append Link icon

      public void append(Item item, Location locationId, int copyNamespaces) throws XPathException
      Description copied from class: ProxyOutputter
      Append an arbitrary item (node, atomic value, or function) to the output. The default implementation throws UnsupportedOperationException.
      Specified by:
      append in interface Receiver
      Overrides:
      append in class ProxyOutputter
      Parameters:
      item - the item to be appended
      locationId - the location of the calling instruction, for diagnostics
      copyNamespaces - if the item is an element node, this indicates whether its namespaces need to be copied. Values are ReceiverOption.ALL_NAMESPACES; the default (0) means
