Constructor Detail

BooleanExpression

public BooleanExpression(Expression p1,
                 int operator,
                 Expression p2)

Construct a boolean expression

Parameters:

p1 - the first operand

operator - one of Token.AND or Token.OR

p2 - the second operand

Method Detail

getExpressionName

public String getExpressionName()

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.

typeCheck

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

Description copied from class: BinaryExpression

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

Overrides:

typeCheck in class BinaryExpression

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)

computeCardinality

public int computeCardinality()

Determine the static cardinality. Returns [1..1]

Overrides:

computeCardinality in class BinaryExpression

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

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 BinaryExpression

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)

forceToBoolean

protected Expression forceToBoolean(Expression in)

isNegatable

public boolean isNegatable(TypeHierarchy th)

Check whether this specific instance of the expression is negatable

Specified by:

isNegatable in interface Negatable

Parameters:

th - the type hierarchy, if needed

Returns:

true if it is

negate

public abstract Expression negate()

Return the negation of this boolean expression, that is, an expression that returns true when this expression returns false, and vice versa

Specified by:

negate in interface Negatable

Returns:

the negation of this expression

evaluateItem

public BooleanValue evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                          throws XPathException

Evaluate the expression

Overrides:

evaluateItem in class Expression

Parameters:

context - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated

Returns:

the node or atomic value that results from evaluating the expression; or null to indicate that the result is an empty sequence

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

effectiveBooleanValue

public abstract boolean effectiveBooleanValue(XPathContext c)
                                       throws XPathException

Evaluate as a boolean.

Overrides:

effectiveBooleanValue in class Expression

Parameters:

c - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated

Returns:

the effective boolean value

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType()

Determine the data type of the expression

Specified by:

getItemType in class Expression

Returns:

BuiltInAtomicType.BOOLEAN

listAndComponents

public static void listAndComponents(Expression exp,
                     List<Expression> list)

Construct a list containing the "anded" subexpressions of an expression: if the expression is (A and B and C), this returns (A, B, C).

Parameters:

exp - the expression to be decomposed

list - the list to which the subexpressions are to be added.

getOperandRole

protected OperandRole getOperandRole(int arg)

Description copied from class: BinaryExpression

Get the operand role

Overrides:

getOperandRole in class BinaryExpression

Parameters:

arg - which argument: 0 for the lhs, 1 for the rhs

Returns:

the operand role
