Class ItemChecker

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, SourceLocator, Container, Expression, InstructionInfoProvider

public final class ItemChecker extends UnaryExpression
A ItemChecker implements the item type checking of "treat as": that is, it returns the supplied sequence, checking that all its items are of the correct type

    • getRequiredType

      public ItemType getRequiredType()
      Get the required type
    • simplify

      public Expression simplify(StaticContext env) throws XPathException
      Simplify an expression
      Specified by:
      simplify in interface Expression
      Overrides:
      simplify in class UnaryExpression
      Parameters:
      env - the static context
      Returns:
      the simplified expression
      Throws:
      XPathException - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting
    • typeCheck

      public Expression typeCheck(StaticContext env, ItemType contextItemType) throws XPathException
      Type-check the expression
      Specified by:
      typeCheck in interface Expression
      Overrides:
      typeCheck in class UnaryExpression
      Parameters:
      env - the static context of the expression
      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 to perform necessary run-time type checks, and to perform other type-related optimizations
      Throws:
      XPathException
    • 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 interface Expression
      Overrides:
      getImplementationMethod in class ComputedExpression
    • iterate

      public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context) throws XPathException
      Iterate over the sequence of values
      Specified by:
      iterate in interface Expression
      Overrides:
      iterate in class ComputedExpression
      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
    • evaluateItem

      public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context) throws XPathException
      Evaluate as an Item.
      Specified by:
      evaluateItem in interface Expression
      Overrides:
      evaluateItem in class ComputedExpression
      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
    • process

      public void process(XPathContext context) throws XPathException
      Process the instruction, without returning any tail calls
      Specified by:

      Overrides:
      process in class ComputedExpression
      Parameters:
      context - The dynamic context, giving access to the current node, the current variables, etc.
      Throws:
      XPathException
