Method Detail

typeCheck

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

Type-check the expression.

Overrides:

typeCheck in class Expression

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 Expression

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)

computeSpecialProperties

public int computeSpecialProperties()

Description copied from class: Expression

Compute the special properties of this expression. These properties are denoted by a bit-significant integer, possible values are in class StaticProperty. The "special" properties are properties other than cardinality and dependencies, and most of them relate to properties of node sequences, for example whether the nodes are in document order.

Overrides:

computeSpecialProperties in class Expression

Returns:

the special properties, as a bit-significant integer

isContextPossiblyUndefined

public boolean isContextPossiblyUndefined()

Ask whether there is a possibility that the context item will be undefined

Returns:

true if this is a possibility

noContextMessage

protected String noContextMessage()

Customize the error message on type checking

equals

public boolean equals(Object other)

Is this expression the same as another expression?

Overrides:

equals in class Object

computeCardinality

public final int computeCardinality()

Specify that the expression returns a singleton

Specified by:

computeCardinality in class Expression

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()

Determine the data type of the items returned by this expression

Specified by:

getItemType in class Expression

Returns:

Type.NODE

getImplementationMethod

public int getImplementationMethod()

An implementation of Expression must provide at least one of the methods evaluateItem(), iterate(), or process(). This method indicates which of these methods is provided directly. The other methods will always be available indirectly, using an implementation that relies on one of the other methods.

Specified by:

getImplementationMethod in class Expression

Returns:

the implementation method, for example Expression.ITERATE_METHOD or Expression.EVALUATE_METHOD or Expression.PROCESS_METHOD

hashCode

public int hashCode()

get HashCode for comparing two expressions

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

getNode

public NodeInfo getNode(XPathContext context)
                 throws XPathException

Return the first element selected by this Expression

Parameters:

context - The evaluation context

Returns:

the NodeInfo of the first selected element, or null if no element is selected

Throws:

XPathException

getIntrinsicDependencies

public int getIntrinsicDependencies()

Determine which aspects of the context the expression depends on. The result is a bitwise-or'ed value composed from constants such as StaticProperty.VARIABLES and StaticProperty.CURRENT_NODE

Overrides:

getIntrinsicDependencies in class Expression

Returns:

a set of bit-significant flags identifying the "intrinsic" dependencies. The flags are documented in class net.sf.saxon.value.StaticProperty

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

toPattern

public Pattern toPattern(Configuration config,
                boolean is30)
                  throws XPathException

Convert this expression to an equivalent XSLT pattern

Overrides:

toPattern in class Expression

Parameters:

config - the Saxon configuration

is30 - true if this is XSLT 3.0

Returns:

the equivalent pattern

Throws:

XPathException - if conversion is not possible

addToPathMap

public PathMap.PathMapNodeSet addToPathMap(PathMap pathMap,
                                  PathMap.PathMapNodeSet pathMapNodeSet)

Add a representation of this expression to a PathMap. The PathMap captures a map of the nodes visited by an expression in a source tree.

Overrides:

addToPathMap in class Expression

Parameters:

pathMap - the PathMap to which the expression should be added

pathMapNodeSet -

Returns:

the pathMapNode representing the focus established by this expression, in the case where this expression is the first operand of a path expression or filter expression

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 Expression

Returns:

a representation of the expression as a string

getExpressionName

public String getExpressionName()

Description copied from class: Expression

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 export() output displaying the expression.

export

public void export(ExpressionPresenter destination)

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

Specified by:

export in class Expression

Parameters:

destination - the expression presenter used to display the structure

iterate

public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context)
                         throws XPathException

Evaluate the expression in a given context to return an iterator

Overrides:

iterate in class Expression

Parameters:

context - the evaluation context

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

evaluateItem

public NodeInfo evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                      throws XPathException

Description copied from class: Expression

Evaluate an expression as a single item. This always returns either a single Item or null (denoting the empty sequence). No conversion is done. This method should not be used unless the static type of the expression is a subtype of "item" or "item?": that is, it should not be called if the expression may return a sequence. There is no guarantee that this condition will be detected.

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 boolean effectiveBooleanValue(XPathContext context)
                              throws XPathException

Description copied from class: Expression

Overrides:

effectiveBooleanValue in class Expression

Parameters:

context - 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

getExpressionCompiler
