Constructor Detail

CastableExpression

public CastableExpression(Expression source,
                          AtomicType target,
                          boolean allowEmpty)

Create a "castable" expression of the form "source castable as target"

Parameters:

source - The source expression

target - The type being tested against

allowEmpty - true if an empty sequence is acceptable, that is if the expression was written as "source castable as target?"

Method Detail

typeCheck

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

Type-check the expression

Overrides:

typeCheck in class UnaryExpression

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)

preEvaluate

protected Expression preEvaluate()
                          throws XPathException

Throws:

XPathException

optimize

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

Optimize the expression

Overrides:

optimize in class UnaryExpression

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

contextInfo - 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)

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

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object other)

Is this expression the same as another expression?

Overrides:

equals in class UnaryExpression

computeHashCode

public int computeHashCode()

get HashCode for comparing two expressions. Note that this hashcode gives the same result for (A op B) and for (B op A), whether or not the operator is commutative.

Overrides:

computeHashCode in class UnaryExpression

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType()

Determine the data type of the result of the Castable expression

/*@NotNull

Overrides:

getItemType in class UnaryExpression

Returns:

the item type of the items in the result sequence, insofar as this is known statically.

getStaticUType

public UType getStaticUType(UType contextItemType)

Get the static type of the expression as a UType, following precisely the type inference rules defined in the XSLT 3.0 specification.

Overrides:

getStaticUType in class Expression

Parameters:

contextItemType -

Returns:

the static item type of the expression according to the XSLT 3.0 defined rules

computeCardinality

public int computeCardinality()

Description copied from class: UnaryExpression

Determine the static cardinality. Default implementation returns the cardinality of the operand

Overrides:

computeCardinality in class UnaryExpression

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

copy

public Expression copy(RebindingMap rebindings)

Description copied from class: Expression

Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.

Specified by:

copy in class Expression

Parameters:

rebindings - a mutable list of (old binding, new binding) pairs that is used to update the bindings held in any local variable references that are copied.

Returns:

the copy of the original 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 boolean effectiveBooleanValue(XPathContext context)
                              throws XPathException

Description copied from class: Expression

Get the effective boolean value of the expression. This returns false if the value is the empty sequence, a zero-length string, a number equal to zero, or the boolean false. Otherwise it returns true.

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

getExpressionName

public java.lang.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.

toString

public java.lang.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 UnaryExpression

Returns:

a representation of the expression as a string

export

public void export(ExpressionPresenter out)
            throws XPathException

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

Specified by:

export in interface ExportAgent

Overrides:

export in class UnaryExpression

Parameters:

out - the expression presenter used to display the structure

Throws:

XPathException - if the export fails, for example if an expression is found that won't work in the target environment.
