Constructor Detail

CastToUnion

public CastToUnion(Expression source,
           UnionType targetType,
           boolean allowEmpty)

Create a cast expression to a union type

Parameters:

source - the operand of the cast

targetType - the union type that is the result of the cast

allowEmpty - true if an empty sequence may be supplied as input, converting to an empty sequence on output

Method Detail

getOperandRole

protected OperandRole getOperandRole()

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

Specified by:

getOperandRole in class UnaryExpression

Returns:

the operand usage

isAllowEmpty

public boolean isAllowEmpty()

Ask whether the value of the operand is allowed to be empty

Returns:

true if an empty sequence may be supplied as input, converting to an empty sequence on output

getTargetType

public UnionType getTargetType()

Get the union type that is the target of this cast operation

Returns:

the target type of the cast

getNamespaceResolver

public NamespaceResolver getNamespaceResolver()

Get the namespace resolver that will be used to resolve any namespace-sensitive values (such as QNames) when casting

Returns:

the namespace resolver, or null if there is none.

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

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

castable

public static boolean castable(AtomicValue value,
               UnionType targetType,
               NamespaceResolver nsResolver,
               XPathContext context)

Static method to perform the castable check of an atomic value to a union type

Parameters:

value - the input value to be converted. Must not be null.

targetType - the union type to which the value is to be converted

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

context - the XPath dynamic evaluation context

Returns:

the result of the conversion (may be a sequence if the union includes list types in its membership)

cast

public static AtomicSequence cast(AtomicValue value,
                  UnionType targetType,
                  NamespaceResolver nsResolver,
                  ConversionRules rules)
                           throws XPathException

Static method to perform the cast of an atomic value to a union type

Parameters:

value - the input value to be converted. Must not be null.

targetType - the union type to which the value is to be converted

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

rules - the conversion rules

Returns:

the result of the conversion (may be a sequence if the union includes list types in its membership)

Throws:

XPathException - if the conversion fails

Overrides:

equals in class UnaryExpression

hashCode

public int hashCode()

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:
