Constructor Detail

AdjacentTextNodeMerger

public AdjacentTextNodeMerger(Expression p0)

Method Detail

makeAdjacentTextNodeMerger

public static Expression makeAdjacentTextNodeMerger(Expression base)

Make an AdjacentTextNodeMerger expression with a given operand, or a simpler equivalent expression if appropriate

Parameters:

base - the operand expression

Returns:

an AdjacentTextNodeMerger or equivalent expression

getOperandRole

protected OperandRole getOperandRole()

Description copied from class: UnaryExpression

Get the usage (in terms of streamability analysis) of the single operand

Specified by:

getOperandRole in class UnaryExpression

Returns:

the operand usage

simplify

public Expression simplify(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                    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

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

Returns:

the simplified expression

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting

typeCheck

public Expression typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                   ContextItemStaticInfo contextInfo)
                     throws XPathException

Description copied from class: UnaryExpression

Type-check the expression. Default implementation for unary operators that accept any kind of operand

Overrides:

typeCheck in class UnaryExpression

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)

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType()

Determine the data type of the expression, if possible. The default implementation for unary expressions returns the item type of the operand

Overrides:

getItemType in class UnaryExpression

Returns:

the item type of the items in the result sequence, insofar as this is known statically.

computeCardinality

public int computeCardinality()

Description copied from class: UnaryExpression

Determine the static cardinality. Default implementation returns the cardinality of the operand

Overrides:

computeCardinality in class UnaryExpression

Returns:

the computed cardinality, as one of the values StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_ONE, StaticProperty.EXACTLY_ONE, StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ONE_OR_MORE, StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_MORE

copy

public Expression copy()

Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.

Specified by:

copy in class Expression

Returns:

the copy of the original expression

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 prefered.

Overrides:

getImplementationMethod in class Expression

Returns:

the implementation method, for example Expression.ITERATE_METHOD or Expression.EVALUATE_METHOD or Expression.PROCESS_METHOD

getExpressionCompiler

public ExpressionCompiler getExpressionCompiler()

Description copied from class: Expression

Return the compiler relating to a particular expression

Overrides:

getExpressionCompiler in class Expression

Returns:

the relevant ExpressionCompiler

getStreamingAdjunct

public AdjacentTextNodeMergerAdjunct getStreamingAdjunct()

Description copied from class: Expression

Get a class that supports streamed evaluation of this expression

Overrides:

getStreamingAdjunct in class Expression

Returns:

the relevant StreamingAdjunct, or null if none is available

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

process

public void process(XPathContext context,
           int locationId,
           int options)
             throws XPathException

Process the instruction, without returning any tail calls

Parameters:

context - The dynamic context, giving access to the current node, the current variables, etc.

Throws:

XPathException

getExpressionName

public String getExpressionName()

Description copied from class: Expression

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 explain() output displaying the expression.

isTextNode

public static boolean isTextNode(Item item)

Ask whether an item is a text node

Parameters:

item - the item in question

Returns:

true if the item is a node of kind text
