Field Detail

EXTERNAL_OBJECT_TYPE

public static JavaExternalObjectType EXTERNAL_OBJECT_TYPE

Constructor Detail

JavaExternalObjectType

public JavaExternalObjectType(Class javaClass)

Create an external object type.

Parameters:

javaClass - the Java class to which this type corresponds

JavaExternalObjectType

public JavaExternalObjectType(Class javaClass,
                      Configuration config)

Create an external object type.

Parameters:

javaClass - the Java class to which this type corresponds

config - the Saxon configuration. This argument is no longer used (since 9.5).

Method Detail

getUType

public UType getUType()

Get the corresponding UType. A UType is a union of primitive item types.

Specified by:

getUType in interface ItemType

Returns:

the smallest UType that subsumes this item type

getName

public String getName()

Get the local name of this type.

Specified by:

getName in class ExternalObjectType

Returns:

the fully qualified name of the Java class.

getTargetNamespace

public String getTargetNamespace()

Get the target namespace of this type. The is always NamespaceConstant.JAVA_TYPE.

Specified by:

getTargetNamespace in class ExternalObjectType

Returns:

the target namespace of this type definition.

isExternalType

public boolean isExternalType()

Return true if this is an external object type, that is, a Saxon-defined type for external Java or .NET objects

Overrides:

isExternalType in class ExternalObjectType

Returns:

true (always)

getTypeName

public StructuredQName getTypeName()

Get the name of this type as a StructuredQName, unless the type is anonymous, in which case return null

Specified by:

getTypeName in class ExternalObjectType

Returns:

the name of the atomic type, or null if the type is anonymous.

getPrimitiveItemType

public ItemType getPrimitiveItemType()

Get the primitive item type corresponding to this item type.

Specified by:

getPrimitiveItemType in interface ItemType

Returns:

EXTERNAL_OBJECT_TYPE, the ExternalObjectType that encapsulates the Java type Object.class.

getPrimitiveType

public int getPrimitiveType()

Get the primitive type corresponding to this item type. For item(), this is Type.ITEM. For node(), it is Type.NODE. For specific node kinds, it is the value representing the node kind, for example Type.ELEMENT. For anyAtomicValue it is Type.ATOMIC. For numeric it is Type.NUMBER. For other atomic types it is the primitive type as defined in XML Schema, except that INTEGER is considered to be a primitive type.

Specified by:

getPrimitiveType in interface ItemType

Specified by:

getPrimitiveType in class ExternalObjectType

Returns:

the fingerprint of the primitive type

getAtomizedItemType

public AtomicType getAtomizedItemType()

Get the item type of the atomic values that will be produced when an item of this type is atomized

Specified by:

getAtomizedItemType in interface ItemType

Returns:

BuiltInAtomicType.STRING, because atomization returns the result of toString()

isAtomizable

public boolean isAtomizable()

Ask whether values of this type are atomizable

Specified by:

isAtomizable in interface ItemType

Returns:

true, because (since Saxon 9.5) atomization will always return the result of toString()

getRelationship

public int getRelationship(JavaExternalObjectType other)

Get the relationship of this external object type to another external object type

Parameters:

other - the other external object type

Returns:

the relationship of this external object type to another external object type, as one of the constants in class TypeHierarchy, for example TypeHierarchy.SUBSUMES

getDescription

public String getDescription()

isAtomicType

public boolean isAtomicType()

Test whether this item type is an atomic type

Specified by:

isAtomicType in interface ItemType

Returns:

false, this is not considered to be an atomic type

getJavaClass

public Class getJavaClass()

Get the Java class to which this external object type corresponds

Returns:

the corresponding Java class

matches

public boolean matches(Item item,
              TypeHierarchy th)

Test whether a given item conforms to this type

Specified by:

matches in interface ItemType

Parameters:

item - The item to be tested

th -

Returns:

true if the item is an instance of this type; false otherwise

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

getDisplayName

public String getDisplayName()

getDefaultPriority

public double getDefaultPriority()

Determine the default priority of this item type when used on its own as a Pattern

Returns:

the default priority

visitNamedSchemaComponents

public void visitNamedSchemaComponents(SchemaComponentVisitor visitor)
                                throws XPathException

Visit all the schema components used in this ItemType definition

Specified by:

visitNamedSchemaComponents in interface ItemType

Parameters:

visitor - the visitor class to be called when each component is visited

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns a hash code value for the object.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Test whether two ExternalObjectType objects represent the same type

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

obj - the other ExternalObjectType

Returns:

true if the two objects represent the same type

classNameToLocalName

public static String classNameToLocalName(String className)

Static method to convert a Java class name to an XPath local name. This involves the following substitutions: "$" is replaced by "-", and "[" is replaced by "_-".

localNameToClassName

public static String localNameToClassName(String className)

Static method to convert an XPath local name to a Java class name. This involves the following substitutions: "-" is replaced by "$", and leading "_-" pairs are replaced by "[".

classNameToQName

public static StructuredQName classNameToQName(String className)

Static method to get the QName corresponding to a Java class name
