setGenerateIdEmulation
public void setGenerateIdEmulation(boolean flag) Set flag to indicate different empty-sequence behavior when emulating comparison of two generate-id's. This is relevant when operands evaluate to an empty sequence; if both are empty, the "is" operator returns (), while the generate-id() comparison compares two empty strings, which returns true; if one is empty, the "is" operator returns (), while the generate-id() comparison returns false.- Parameters:
flag
- true if this function is being used to compare generate-id() output
-
isGenerateIdEmulation
public boolean isGenerateIdEmulation()Test the flag that indicates different empty-sequence behavior when emulating comparison of two generate-id's- Returns:
- true if this function is being used to compare generate-id() output
-
typeCheck
public Expression typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor, ExpressionVisitor.ContextItemType contextItemType) throws XPathException Type-check the expression- Overrides:
typeCheck
in classBinaryExpression
- Parameters:
visitor
- an expression visitorcontextItemType
- 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 toType.ITEM_TYPE
- 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)
-
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 classBinaryExpression
- Parameters:
visitor
- an expression visitorcontextItemType
- 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 toType.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)
-
copy
Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.- Specified by:
copy
in classExpression
- Returns:
- the copy of the original expression
-
evaluateItem
Evaluate the expression- Overrides:
evaluateItem
in classExpression
- 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
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 classExpression
- 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
-
getItemType
Determine the data type of the expression- Specified by:
getItemType
in classExpression
- Parameters:
th
- the type hierarchy cache- Returns:
- Type.BOOLEAN
