Method Detail

simplify

public SortKeyDefinition simplify()

reduce

public FixedSortKeyDefinition reduce(XPathContext context)

Eliminate dependencies of the sort key definition on the context. For the sort key select expression, this means things that don't depend on the individual node: specifically, variables and current-group(). For the AVTs used to select data type, case order, language, it means all dependencies: after reduction, these values will be constants.

Overrides:

reduce in class SortKeyDefinition

bindComparer

public void bindComparer(XPathContext context)
                  throws XPathException

Allocate a reusable Comparer to implement this sort key comparison

Throws:

XPathException

getComparer

public java.util.Comparator getComparer()

Get the comparer which is used to compare two values according to this sort key.
