Interface QNameTest

All Known Implementing Classes:
AnyNodeTest, LocalNameTest, NamespaceTest, NameTest, NameTestUnion, SameNameTest, UnionQNameTest
public interface QNameTest
Interface for tests against a QName. This is implemented by a subset of NodeTests, specifically those that are only concerned with testing a name. It is used for matching error codes against the codes specified in a try/catch clause, and also to match component names in xsl:accept and xsl:expose. The various implementations of QNameTest typically match a node kind as well as node name. This interface, however, is concerned only with matching of QNames, and the ability of an implementation to match a node kind as well is redundant.

  • Method Details

    • matches

      boolean matches(StructuredQName qname)
      Test whether the QNameTest matches a given QName
      Parameters:
      qname - the QName to be matched
      Returns:
      true if the name matches, false if not

    • matchesFingerprint

      boolean matchesFingerprint(NamePool namePool, int fp)
      Test whether the QNameTest matches a given fingerprint
      Parameters:
      namePool - the name pool
      fp - the fingerprint of the QName to be matched
      Returns:
      true if the name matches, false if not

    • exportQNameTest

      String exportQNameTest()
      Export the QNameTest as a string for use in a SEF file (typically in a catch clause).
      Returns:
      a string representation of the QNameTest, suitable for use in export files. The format is a sequence of alternatives, space-separated, where each alternative is one of '*', '*:localname', 'Q{uri}*', or 'Q{uri}local'.
