Constructor Detail

CastToList

public CastToList(Expression source,
          ListType targetType,
          boolean allowEmpty)

Method Detail

isAllowEmpty

public boolean isAllowEmpty()

getTargetType

public ListType getTargetType()

getNamespaceResolver

public NamespaceResolver getNamespaceResolver()

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

Simplify the expression

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

Type-check the expression

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)

optimize

public Expression optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                  ContextItemStaticInfo contextItemType)
                    throws XPathException

Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions.

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 UnaryExpression

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

contextItemType - 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)

computeCardinality

public int computeCardinality()

Get the static cardinality of the expression

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

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType()

Get the static type of the expression

/*@NotNull

Overrides:

getItemType in class UnaryExpression

Returns:

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

computeSpecialProperties

public int computeSpecialProperties()

Determine the special properties of this expression

Overrides:

computeSpecialProperties in class UnaryExpression

Returns:

StaticProperty.NON_CREATIVE.

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

iterate

public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context)
                         throws XPathException

Evaluate the expression

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

cast

public static AtomicSequence cast(CharSequence value,
                  ListType targetType,
                  NamespaceResolver nsResolver,
                  ConversionRules rules)
                           throws XPathException

Cast a string value to a list type

Parameters:

value - the input string value

targetType - the target list type

nsResolver - the namespace context, needed if the type is namespace-sensitive

rules - the conversion rules

Returns:

the sequence of atomic values that results from the conversion

Throws:

XPathException - if the conversion fails

equals

public boolean equals(Object other)

Is this expression the same as another expression?

Overrides:

equals in class UnaryExpression

hashCode

public int hashCode()

get HashCode for comparing two expressions.

Overrides:

hashCode in class UnaryExpression

getExpressionCompiler

public ExpressionCompiler getExpressionCompiler()

Return the compiler of the CastToList expression

Overrides:

getExpressionCompiler in class Expression

Returns:

the relevant ExpressionCompiler

toString

public String toString()

The toString() method for an expression attempts to give a representation of the expression in an XPath-like form, but there is no guarantee that the syntax will actually be true XPath. In the case of XSLT instructions, the toString() method gives an abstracted view of the syntax

Overrides:

toString in class UnaryExpression

Returns:

a representation of the expression as a string

toShortString

public String toShortString()

Description copied from class: Expression

Produce a short string identifying the expression for use in error messages

Overrides:

toShortString in class UnaryExpression

Returns:

a short string, sufficient to identify the expression

explain

public void explain(ExpressionPresenter out)

Diagnostic print of expression structure. The abstract expression tree is written to the supplied output destination.

Overrides:

explain in class UnaryExpression

Parameters:

out - the expression presenter used to display the structure
