Class Bindery

java.lang.Object

net.sf.saxon.expr.instruct.Bindery

public final class Bindery
extends Object

The Bindery class holds information about variables and their values. From Saxon 8.1, it is used only for global variables: local variables are now held in the XPathContext object.

Variables are identified by a Binding object. Values will always be of class Value.

Method Detail

allocateGlobals

public void allocateGlobals(SlotManager map)

Define how many slots are needed for global variables

Parameters:

map - the SlotManager that keeps track of slot allocation for global variables.

areGlobalsInitialized

public boolean areGlobalsInitialized()

setApplyFunctionConversionRulesToExternalVariables

public void setApplyFunctionConversionRulesToExternalVariables(boolean convert)

Say whether the function conversion rules should be applied to supplied parameter values. For example, this allows an integer to be supplied as the value for a parameter where the expected type is xs:double. The default is true.

Parameters:

convert - true if function conversion rules are to be applied to supplied values; if false, the supplied value must match the required type exactly.

Since:

9.3

isApplyFunctionConversionRulesToExternalVariables

public boolean isApplyFunctionConversionRulesToExternalVariables()

Ask whether the function conversion rules should be applied to supplied parameter values. For example, this allows an integer to be supplied as the value for a parameter where the expected type is xs:double. The default is true.

Returns:

true if function conversion rules are to be applied to supplied values; if false, the supplied value must match the required type exactly.

Since:

9.3

defineGlobalParameters

public void defineGlobalParameters(GlobalParameterSet params)

Define global parameters

Parameters:

params - The ParameterSet passed in by the user, eg. from the command line

useGlobalParameter

public boolean useGlobalParameter(StructuredQName qName,
                         int slot,
                         SequenceType requiredType,
                         XPathContext context)
                           throws XPathException

Use global parameter. This is called when a global xsl:param element is processed. If a parameter of the relevant name was supplied, it is bound to the xsl:param element. Otherwise the method returns false, so the xsl:param default will be evaluated.

Parameters:

qName - The name of the parameter

slot - The slot number allocated to the parameter

requiredType - The declared type of the parameter

context - the XPath dynamic evaluation context

Returns:

true if a parameter of this name was supplied, false if not

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs, for example if the supplied parameter value does not match the required type

setGlobalVariable

public void setGlobalVariable(GlobalVariable binding,
                     Sequence value)

Provide a value for a global variable

Parameters:

binding - identifies the variable

value - the value of the variable

setExecuting

public boolean setExecuting(GlobalVariable binding)
                     throws XPathException

Set/Unset a flag to indicate that a particular global variable is currently being evaluated. Note that this code is not synchronized, so there is no absolute guarantee that two threads will not both evaluate the same global variable; however, apart from wasted time, it is harmless if they do.

Parameters:

binding - the global variable in question

Returns:

true if evaluation of the variable should proceed; false if it is found that the variable has now been evaluated in another thread.

Throws:

XPathException - If an attempt is made to set the flag when it is already set, this means the definition of the variable is circular.

setNotExecuting

public void setNotExecuting(GlobalVariable binding)

Indicate that a global variable is not currently being evaluated

Parameters:

binding - the global variable

saveGlobalVariableValue

public Sequence saveGlobalVariableValue(GlobalVariable binding,
                               Sequence value)

Save the value of a global variable, and mark evaluation as complete.

Parameters:

binding - the global variable in question

value - the value that this thread has obtained by evaluating the variable

Returns:

the value actually given to the variable. Exceptionally this will be different from the supplied value if another thread has evaluated the same global variable concurrently. The returned value should be used in preference, to ensure that all threads agree on the value. They could be different if for example the variable is initialized using the collection() function.

getGlobalVariableValue

public Sequence getGlobalVariableValue(GlobalVariable binding)

Get the value of a global variable

Parameters:

binding - the Binding that establishes the unique instance of the variable

Returns:

the Value of the variable if defined, null otherwise.

getGlobalVariable

public Sequence getGlobalVariable(int slot)

Get the value of a global variable whose slot number is known

Parameters:

slot - the slot number of the required variable

Returns:

the Value of the variable if defined, null otherwise.

getGlobalVariableMap

public SlotManager getGlobalVariableMap()

Get the Global Variable Map, containing the mapping of variable names (fingerprints) to slot numbers. This is provided for use by debuggers.

Returns:

the SlotManager containing information about the assignment of slot numbers to global variables and parameters

getGlobalVariables

public Sequence[] getGlobalVariables()

Get all the global variables, as an array. This is provided for use by debuggers that know the layout of the global variables within the array.

Returns:

the array of global varaibles.

registerDependency

public void registerDependency(GlobalVariable one,
                      GlobalVariable two)
                        throws XPathException

Register the dependency of one variable ("one") upon another ("two"), throwing an exception if this would establish a cycle of dependencies.

Parameters:

one - the first (dependent) variable

two - the second (dependee) variable

Throws:

XPathException - if adding this dependency creates a cycle of dependencies among global variables.
