Class ForMemberExpression

All Implemented Interfaces:
Binding, ExportAgent, LocalBinding, Locatable, IdentityComparable, Traceable

public class ForMemberExpression extends Assignation
A ForMemberExpression maps an expression over the members of an array. This is a Saxon extension introduced in Saxon 10.0. The range variable is bound to each member of the array in turn (which may itself be any sequence), and the action expression is evaluated with that variable in scope; the results of the evaluations of the action expression are sequence-concatenated.
  • Constructor Details

    • ForMemberExpression

      public ForMemberExpression()
      Create a "for member" expression (for member $x at $p in ARRAY return ACTION)
  • Method Details

    • 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
      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)
    • getIntegerBounds

      public IntegerValue[] getIntegerBounds()
      For an expression that returns an integer or a sequence of integers, get a lower and upper bound on the values of the integers that may be returned, from static analysis. The default implementation returns null, meaning "unknown" or "not applicable". Other implementations return an array of two IntegerValue objects, representing the lower and upper bounds respectively. The values UNBOUNDED_LOWER and UNBOUNDED_UPPER are used by convention to indicate that the value may be arbitrarily large. The values MAX_STRING_LENGTH and MAX_SEQUENCE_LENGTH are used to indicate values limited by the size of a string or the size of a sequence.
      Overrides:
      getIntegerBounds in class Expression
      Returns:
      the lower and upper bounds of integer values in the result, or null to indicate unknown or not applicable.
    • copy

      public Expression copy(RebindingMap rebindings)
      Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.
      Specified by:
      copy in class Expression
      Parameters:
      rebindings - variables that need to be re-bound
      Returns:
      the copy of the original expression
    • isVacuousExpression

      public boolean isVacuousExpression()
      Determine whether this is a vacuous expression as defined in the XQuery update specification
      Overrides:
      isVacuousExpression in class Expression
      Returns:
      true if this expression is vacuous
    • 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. This implementation provides both iterate() and process() methods natively.
      Specified by:
      getImplementationMethod in class Expression
      Returns:
      the implementation method, for example Expression.ITERATE_METHOD or Expression.EVALUATE_METHOD or Expression.PROCESS_METHOD
    • checkPermittedContents

      public void checkPermittedContents(SchemaType parentType, boolean whole) throws XPathException
      Check that any elements and attributes constructed or returned by this expression are acceptable in the content model of a given complex type. It's always OK to say yes, since the check will be repeated at run-time. The process of checking element and attribute constructors against the content model of a complex type also registers the type of content expected of those constructors, so the static validation can continue recursively.
      Overrides:
      checkPermittedContents in class Expression
      Parameters:
      parentType - the "given complex type": the method is checking that the nodes returned by this expression are acceptable members of the content model of this type
      whole - if true, we want to check that the value of this expression satisfies the content model as a whole; if false we want to check that the value of the expression is acceptable as one part of the content
      Throws:
      XPathException - if the value delivered by this expression cannot be part of the content model of the given type
    • iterate

      public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context) throws XPathException
      Iterate over the sequence of values
      Overrides:
      iterate in class Expression
      Parameters:
      context - supplies the context for evaluation
      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
    • process

      public void process(Outputter output, XPathContext context) throws XPathException
      Process this expression as an instruction, writing results to the current outputter
      Overrides:
      process in class Expression
      Parameters:
      output - the destination for the result
      context - The dynamic context, giving access to the current node, the current variables, etc.
      Throws:
      XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs
    • evaluatePendingUpdates

      public void evaluatePendingUpdates(XPathContext context, PendingUpdateList pul) throws XPathException
      Evaluate an updating expression, adding the results to a Pending Update List. The default implementation of this method, which is used for non-updating expressions, throws an UnsupportedOperationException
      Overrides:
      evaluatePendingUpdates in class Expression
      Parameters:
      context - the XPath dynamic evaluation context
      pul - the pending update list to which the results should be written
      Throws:
      XPathException - if evaluation fails
    • getItemType

      public ItemType getItemType()
      Determine the data type of the items returned by the expression, if possible
      Specified by:
      getItemType in class Expression

      contextItemType - the static type of the context item
      Returns:
      the static item type of the expression according to the XSLT 3.0 defined rules
    • computeCardinality

      protected int computeCardinality()
      Determine the static cardinality of the expression
      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. May also return StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO if the result is known to be an empty sequence, or StaticProperty.ALLOWS_MANY if if is known to return a sequence of length two or more.
    • 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
    • toShortString

      public String toShortString()

      Overrides:
      toShortString in class Expression
      Returns:
      a short string, sufficient to identify the expression
    • 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

      export in class Expression
      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.
