Class NodeSetPattern

All Implemented Interfaces:
ExportAgent, Locatable, IdentityComparable, Traceable

public class NodeSetPattern extends Pattern
A NodeSetPattern is a pattern based on an expression that is evaluated to return a set of nodes; a node matches the pattern if it is a member of this node-set.

In XSLT 2.0 there are two forms of NodeSetPattern allowed, represented by calls on the id() and key() functions. In XSLT 3.0, additional forms are allowed, for example a variable reference, and a call to the doc() function. This class provides the general capability to use any expression at the head of a pattern. This is used also to support streaming, where streaming XPath expressions are mapped to patterns.

  • Constructor Details Link icon

    • NodeSetPattern Link icon

      public NodeSetPattern(Expression exp)
      Create a node-set pattern.
      Parameters:
      exp - an expression that can be evaluated to return a node-set; a node matches the pattern if it is present in this node-set. The expression must not depend on the focus, though it can depend on other aspects of the dynamic context such as local or global variables.
  • Method Details Link icon

    • operands Link icon

      public Iterable<Operand> operands()
      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
    • getSelectionExpression Link icon

      public Expression getSelectionExpression()
      Get the underlying expression
      Returns:
      the expression that returns all the selected nodes
    • typeCheck Link icon

      public Pattern typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor, ContextItemStaticInfo contextItemType) throws XPathException
      Type-check the pattern. Default implementation does nothing. This is only needed for patterns that contain variable references or function calls.
      Overrides:
      typeCheck in class Pattern
      Parameters:
      visitor - the expression visitor
      contextItemType - the type of the context item at the point where the pattern is defined. Set to null if it is known that the context item is undefined.
      Returns:
      the optimised Pattern
      Throws:
      XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)
    • optimize Link icon

      public Pattern optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor, ContextItemStaticInfo contextInfo) throws XPathException
      Description copied from class: Pattern
      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 Pattern
      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)
    • setItemType Link icon

      public void setItemType(ItemType type)
      Set the item type, that is, the type of nodes/items which the pattern will match
      Parameters:
      type - the item type that the pattern will match
    • getDependencies Link icon

      public int getDependencies()
      Get the dependencies of the pattern. The only possible dependency for a pattern is on local variables. This is analyzed in those patterns where local variables may appear.
      Overrides:
      getDependencies in class Pattern
      Returns:
      the dependencies, as a bit-significant mask
    • isMotionless Link icon

      public boolean isMotionless()
      Test whether a pattern is motionless, that is, whether it can be evaluated against a node without repositioning the input stream. This is a necessary condition for patterns used as the match pattern of a streamed template rule.
      Overrides:
      isMotionless in class Pattern
      Returns:
      true if the pattern is motionless, that is, if it can be evaluated against a streamed node without changing the position in the streamed input file
    • allocateSlots Link icon

      public int allocateSlots(SlotManager slotManager, int nextFree)
      Allocate slots to any variables used within the pattern
      Overrides:
      allocateSlots in class Pattern
      Parameters:
      slotManager - the slot manager representing the stack frame for local variables
      nextFree - the next slot that is free to be allocated @return the next slot that is free to be allocated
      Returns:
      the next slot that is free to be allocated
    • selectNodes Link icon

      public SequenceIterator selectNodes(TreeInfo doc, XPathContext context) throws XPathException
      Select nodes in a document using this PatternFinder.
      Overrides:
      selectNodes in class Pattern
      Parameters:
      doc - the document node at the root of a tree
      context - the dynamic evaluation context
      Returns:
      an iterator over the selected nodes in the document.
      Throws:
      XPathException
    • matches Link icon

      public boolean matches(Item item, XPathContext context) throws XPathException
      Determine whether this Pattern matches the given Node
      Specified by:
      matches in class Pattern
      Parameters:
      item - The NodeInfo representing the Element or other node to be tested against the Pattern
      context - The dynamic context.
      Returns:
      true if the node matches the Pattern, false otherwise
      Throws:
      XPathException - if an error occurs while matching the pattern
    • getUType Link icon

      public UType getUType()
      Get a UType indicating which kinds of items this Pattern can match.
      Specified by:
      getUType in class Pattern
      Returns:
      a UType indicating all the primitive types of item that the pattern can match.
    • getItemType Link icon

      public ItemType getItemType()
      Get a NodeTest that all the nodes matching this pattern must satisfy
      Specified by:
      getItemType in class Pattern

      an ItemType, as specific as possible, which all the matching items satisfy
    • equals Link icon

      public boolean equals(Object other)
      Determine whether this pattern is the same as another pattern
      Overrides:
      equals in class Expression
      Parameters:
      other - the other object
      Returns:
      true if the other operand is an expression and if it can be determined that the two expressions are equivalent, in the sense that they will always return the same result.
    • computeHashCode Link icon

      protected int computeHashCode()
      Hashcode supporting equals()
      Overrides:
      computeHashCode in class Expression
      Returns:

      Returns:
      the copy of the original pattern
    • export Link icon

      public void export(ExpressionPresenter presenter) throws XPathException
      Description copied from class: Expression
      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 Pattern
      Parameters:
      presenter - 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.
