Class OperandRole

java.lang.Object

net.sf.saxon.expr.OperandRole

public class OperandRole
extends Object

Defines the role of a child expression relative to its parent expression. The properties of an operand role depend only on the kind of expression and not on the actual arguments supplied to a specific instance of the kind of operand.

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
SequenceType	getRequiredType() Get the required type of the operand
OperandUsage	getUsage() Get the usage of the operand
boolean	hasSameFocus() Ask whether the child expression is evaluated with the same focus as its parent expression
boolean	isEvaluatedRepeatedly() Ask whether the operand is a higher-order operand, in the sense that the child expression is evaluated repeatedly during a single evaluation of the parent expression
boolean	isInChoiceGroup() Ask whether the operand is a member of a choice group
boolean	setsNewFocus() Ask whether the child expression sets the focus for evaluation of other child expressions

Method Detail

setsNewFocus

public boolean setsNewFocus()

Ask whether the child expression sets the focus for evaluation of other child expressions

Returns:

true if the child expression is evaluated with the same focus as its parent expression

hasSameFocus

public boolean hasSameFocus()

Ask whether the child expression is evaluated with the same focus as its parent expression

Returns:

true if the child expression is evaluated with the same focus as its parent expression

isEvaluatedRepeatedly

public boolean isEvaluatedRepeatedly()

Ask whether the operand is a higher-order operand, in the sense that the child expression is evaluated repeatedly during a single evaluation of the parent expression

Returns:

true if the operand is higher-order

getUsage

public OperandUsage getUsage()

Get the usage of the operand

Returns:

the usage

getRequiredType

public SequenceType getRequiredType()

Get the required type of the operand

Returns:

the required type

isInChoiceGroup

public boolean isInChoiceGroup()

Ask whether the operand is a member of a choice group

Returns:

true if the operand is in a choice group
