  • Method Details

    • getRequiredItemType

      public ItemType getRequiredItemType()
      Get the item type that we are testing for membership of
      Returns:
      the item type
    • getRequiredCardinality

      public int getRequiredCardinality()
      Get the cardinality that we are testing for membership of
      Returns:
      the required cardinality
    • typeCheck

      public Expression typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor, ExpressionVisitor.ContextItemType contextItemType) throws XPathException
      Type-check the expression
      Overrides:
      typeCheck in class UnaryExpression
      Parameters:
      visitor - an expression visitor
      contextItemType - 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 checked expression
      Throws:
      XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)
    • optimize

      public Expression optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor, ExpressionVisitor.ContextItemType contextItemType) throws XPathException
      Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions.

      This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved to the declaration of the function or variable, and after all type checking has been done.

      Overrides:
      optimize in class UnaryExpression
      Parameters:
      visitor - an expression visitor
      contextItemType - 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)
    • equals

      public boolean equals(Object other)
      Is this expression the same as another expression?
      Overrides:
      equals in class UnaryExpression
    • hashCode

      public int hashCode()
      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:
      hashCode in class UnaryExpression
    • computeCardinality

      public int computeCardinality()
      Determine the cardinality
      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()
      Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.
      Specified by:
      copy in class Expression
      Returns:
      the copy of the original expression
    • getItemType

      public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)
      Determine the data type of the result of the InstanceOf expression
      Overrides:
      getItemType in class UnaryExpression
      Parameters:
      th - the type hierarchy cache
      Returns:
      the item type of the items in the result sequence, insofar as this is known statically.
    • evaluateItem

      public Item 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
      Evaluate the expression as a boolean
      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
    • explain

      public void explain(ExpressionPresenter destination)
      Diagnostic print of expression structure. The abstract expression tree is written to the supplied output destination.
      Overrides:
      explain in class UnaryExpression
      Parameters:
