public abstract class ElementCreator
extends ParentNodeConstructor

An instruction that creates an element node. There are two subtypes, FixedElement for use where the name is known statically, and Element where it is computed dynamically. To allow use in both XSLT and XQuery, the class acts both as an Instruction and as an Expression.

Field Detail

inheritNamespacesToChildren

protected boolean inheritNamespacesToChildren

The inheritNamespacesToChildren flag indicates that the namespace nodes on the element created by this instruction are to be inherited (copied) on the children of this element. That is, if this flag is false, the child elements must carry a namespace undeclaration for all the namespaces on the parent, unless they are redeclared in some way.

inheritNamespacesFromParent

protected boolean inheritNamespacesFromParent

The inheritNamespacesFromParent flag indicates that this element should inherit the namespaces of its parent element in the result tree. That is, if this flag is false, this element must carry a namespace undeclaration for all the namespaces on its parent, unless they are redeclared in some way.

Constructor Detail

ElementCreator

public ElementCreator()

Construct an ElementCreator. Exists for the benefit of subclasses.

Method Detail

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType()

Get the item type of the value returned by this instruction

Overrides:

getItemType in class Instruction

Returns:

the item type

getCardinality

public int getCardinality()

Description copied from class: Expression

Determine the static cardinality of the expression. This establishes how many items there will be in the result of the expression, at compile time (i.e., without actually evaluating the result.

Overrides:

getCardinality in class ParentNodeConstructor

Returns:

one of the values Cardinality.ONE_OR_MORE, Cardinality.ZERO_OR_MORE, Cardinality.EXACTLY_ONE, Cardinality.ZERO_OR_ONE, Cardinality.EMPTY. This default implementation returns ZERO_OR_MORE (which effectively gives no information).

setInheritNamespacesToChildren

public void setInheritNamespacesToChildren(boolean inherit)

Say whether this element causes its children to inherit namespaces

Parameters:

inherit - true if namespaces are to be inherited by the children

isInheritNamespacesToChildren

public boolean isInheritNamespacesToChildren()

Ask whether the inherit namespaces flag is set

Returns:

true if namespaces constructed on this parent element are to be inherited by its children

setInheritNamespacesFromParent

public void setInheritNamespacesFromParent(boolean inherit)

Say whether this element causes inherits namespaces from its parent. True except in XQuery where one direct element constructor forms the immediate content of another (see W3C bug 22334)

Parameters:

inherit - true if namespaces are to be inherited from the parent

isInheritNamespacesFromParent

public boolean isInheritNamespacesFromParent()

Ask whether this element inherits namespaces from its parent. True except in XQuery where one direct element constructor forms the immediate content of another (see W3C bug 22334)

Returns:

true if this child element inherits namespaces from its parent element

computeSpecialProperties

public int computeSpecialProperties()

Get the static properties of this expression (other than its type). The result is bit-signficant. These properties are used for optimizations. In general, if property bit is set, it is true, but if it is unset, the value is unknown.

Overrides:

computeSpecialProperties in class Instruction

Returns:

a set of flags indicating static properties of this expression

suppressValidation

public void suppressValidation(int parentValidationMode)

Suppress validation on contained element constructors, on the grounds that the parent element is already performing validation. The default implementation does nothing.

Overrides:

suppressValidation in class Expression

Parameters:

parentValidationMode - the kind of validation being performed on the parent expression

checkContentSequence

protected void checkContentSequence(StaticContext env)
                             throws XPathException

Check statically whether the content of the element creates attributes or namespaces after creating any child nodes

Returns:

the base URI of the constructed element

outputNamespaceNodes

public abstract void outputNamespaceNodes(XPathContext context,
                        Receiver receiver,
                        NodeName nameCode,
                        NodeInfo copiedNode)
                                   throws XPathException

Callback to output namespace nodes for the new element. This method is responsible for ensuring that a namespace node is always generated for the namespace of the element name itself.

Parameters:

context - The execution context

receiver - the Receiver where the namespace nodes are to be written

nameCode - the name code of the element being created

copiedNode - the node being copied (for xsl:copy) or null otherwise

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs

getActiveNamespaces

public NamespaceBinding[] getActiveNamespaces()
                                       throws XPathException

Callback to get a list of the intrinsic namespaces that need to be generated for the element.

Returns:

the set of namespace bindings.

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs

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 prefered. For instructions this is the process() method.

Overrides:

getImplementationMethod in class Instruction

Returns:

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

iterateEvents

public EventIterator iterateEvents(XPathContext context)
                            throws XPathException

Description copied from class: Expression

Deliver the result of the expression as a sequence of events.

The events (of class PullEvent) are either complete items, or one of startElement, endElement, startDocument, or endDocument, known as semi-nodes. The stream of events may also include a nested EventIterator. If a start-end pair exists in the sequence, then the events between this pair represent the content of the document or element. The content sequence will have been processed to the extent that any attribute and namespace nodes in the content sequence will have been merged into the startElement event. Namespace fixup will have been performed: that is, unique prefixes will have been allocated to element and attribute nodes, and all namespaces will be declared by means of a namespace node in the startElement event or in an outer startElement forming part of the sequence. However, duplicate namespaces may appear in the sequence.

The content of an element or document may include adjacent or zero-length text nodes, atomic values, and nodes represented as nodes rather than broken down into events.

Overrides:

iterateEvents in class Expression

Parameters:

context - The dynamic evaluation context

Returns:

the result of the expression as an iterator over a sequence of PullEvent objects

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs during expression evaluation

iterateEvents

protected EventIterator iterateEvents(XPathContext context,
                          NodeInfo copiedNode)
                               throws XPathException

Throws:

XPathException

processLeavingTail

public TailCall processLeavingTail(XPathContext context)
                            throws XPathException

Evaluate the instruction to produce a new element node. This method is typically used when there is a parent element or document in a result tree, to which the new element is added.

Specified by:

processLeavingTail in interface TailCallReturner

Specified by:

processLeavingTail in class Instruction

Parameters:

context - XPath dynamic evaluation context

Returns:

null (this instruction never returns a tail call)

Throws:

XPathException

                          NodeInfo copiedNode)
                                  throws XPathException

Evaluate the instruction to produce a new element node. This method is typically used when there is a parent element or document in a result tree, to which the new element is added.

Parameters:

copiedNode - null except in the case of xsl:copy, when it is the node being copied; otherwise null

Returns:

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs

evaluateItem

public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                  throws XPathException
