Class UntypedAtomicValue

    • Constructor Detail

      • UntypedAtomicValue

        public UntypedAtomicValue​(java.lang.CharSequence value)
        Constructor
        Parameters:
        value - the String value. Null is taken as equivalent to "".
    • Method Detail

      • copyAsSubType

        public AtomicValue copyAsSubType​(AtomicType typeLabel)
        Create a copy of this atomic value, with a different type label
        Overrides:
        copyAsSubType in class StringValue
        Parameters:
        typeLabel - the type label of the new copy. The caller is responsible for checking that the value actually conforms to this type.
        Returns:
        the copied value
      • getPrimitiveType

        public BuiltInAtomicType getPrimitiveType()
        Determine the primitive type of the value. This delivers the same answer as getItemType().getPrimitiveItemType(). The primitive types are the 19 primitive types of XML Schema, plus xs:integer, xs:dayTimeDuration and xs:yearMonthDuration, and xs:untypedAtomic. For external objects, the result is AnyAtomicType.
        Overrides:
        getPrimitiveType in class StringValue
        Returns:
        the primitive type
      • compareTo

        public int compareTo​(AtomicValue other,
                             StringCollator collator,
                             XPathContext context)
        Compare an untypedAtomic value with another value, using a given collator to perform any string comparisons. This works by converting the untypedAtomic value to the type of the other operand, which is the correct behavior for operators like "=" and "!=", but not for "eq" and "ne": in the latter case, the untypedAtomic value is converted to a string and this method is therefore not used.
        Parameters:
        other - the value to compare this value with
        collator - the collation to be used for comparing strings
        context - the XPath dynamic context
        Returns:
        -1 if the this value is less than the other, 0 if they are equal, +1 if this value is greater.
        Throws:
        java.lang.ClassCastException - if the value cannot be cast to the type of the other operand
