Method Detail
-
simplify
public Expression simplify() throws XPathException
Simplify an expression- Overrides:
simplify
in classExpression
- Returns:
- the simplified expression
- Throws:
XPathException
-
enumerate
public NodeEnumeration enumerate(Context context, boolean sort) throws XPathException
Evaluate the filter expression in a given context to return a Node Enumeration- Specified by:
enumerate
in classNodeSetExpression
- Parameters:
context
- the evaluation contextsort
- true if the result must be in document order- Throws:
XPathException
- when the expression does not return a nodeset.
-
getDependencies
public int getDependencies()
Determine which aspects of the context the expression depends on. The result is a bitwise-or'ed value composed from constants such as Context.VARIABLES and Context.CURRENT_NODE- Specified by:
getDependencies
in classExpression
-
reduce
public Expression reduce(int dep, Context context) throws XPathException
Perform a partial evaluation of the expression, by eliminating specified dependencies on the context.- Specified by:
reduce
in classExpression
- Parameters:
dep
- The dependencies to be removedcontext
- The context to be used for the partial evaluation- Returns:
- a new expression that does not have any of the specified dependencies
- Throws:
XPathException
-
isContextDocumentNodeSet
public boolean isContextDocumentNodeSet()
Determine, in the case of an expression whose data type is Value.NODESET, whether all the nodes in the node-set are guaranteed to come from the same document as the context node. Used for optimization.- Overrides:
isContextDocumentNodeSet
in classExpression
-
display
public void display(int level)
Diagnostic print of expression structure- Specified by:
display
in classExpression
