public final class SimpleMappingExpression extends ComputedExpression implements ContextMappingFunction
A simple mapping expression is an expression A/B where B has a static type that is an atomic type. For example, * / name().

      public SimpleMappingExpression(Expression start, Expression step, boolean isHybrid)
      Constructor
      Parameters:
      start - A node-set expression denoting the absolute or relative set of nodes from which the navigation path should start.
      step - The step to be followed from each node in the start expression to yield a new node-set
      isHybrid - if true, indicates that we don't know statically whether the step expression will return nodes or atomic values. If false, we know it will return atomic values.
  • Method Details

    • getStartExpression

      public Expression getStartExpression()

    • getStepExpression

      public Expression getStepExpression()
      Get the step expression (the right-hand operand)
    • getItemType

      public final ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)
      Determine the data type of the items returned by this exprssion
      Specified by:
      getItemType in interface Expression
      Parameters:
      th -
      Returns:
      the type of the step
    • typeCheck

      public Expression typeCheck(StaticContext env, ItemType contextItemType)
      Type-check the expression
      Specified by:
      typeCheck in interface Expression
      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
    • optimize

      public Expression optimize(Optimizer opt, StaticContext env, ItemType contextItemType)
      Description copied from interface: Expression
      Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the third and final phase of static optimization.

      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.

      Specified by:
      optimize in interface Expression
      Parameters:
      opt - the optimizer in use. This provides access to supporting functions; it also allows different optimization strategies to be used in different circumstances.
      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 if appropriate to optimize execution
    • promote

      public Expression promote(PromotionOffer offer) throws XPathException
      Promote this expression if possible
      Specified by:
      promote in interface Expression
      Overrides:
      promote in class ComputedExpression
      Parameters:
      offer - details of the offer, for example the offer to move expressions that don't depend on the context to an outer level in the containing expression
      Returns:
      if the offer is not accepted, return this expression unchanged. Otherwise return the result of rewriting the expression to promote this subexpression
      Throws:
      XPathException - if any error is detected
    • iterateSubExpressions

      public Iterator iterateSubExpressions()
      Get the immediate subexpressions of this expression
      Specified by:
      iterateSubExpressions in interface Expression
      Overrides:
      iterateSubExpressions in class ComputedExpression
      Returns:
      an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression
    • replaceSubExpression

      public boolean replaceSubExpression(Expression original, Expression replacement)
      Replace one subexpression by a replacement subexpression
      Specified by:
      replaceSubExpression in interface Container
      Overrides:
      replaceSubExpression in class ComputedExpression
      Parameters:
      original - the original subexpression
      replacement - the replacement subexpression
      Returns:
      true if the original subexpression is found
    • computeDependencies

      public int computeDependencies()
      Determine which aspects of the context the expression depends on. The result is a bitwise-or'ed value composed from constants such as XPathContext.VARIABLES and XPathContext.CURRENT_NODE
      Overrides:
      computeDependencies in class ComputedExpression
      Returns:
      the depencies, as a bit-mask
    • computeSpecialProperties

      public int computeSpecialProperties()
      Get the static properties of this expression (other than its type). The result is bit-signficant. These properties are used for optimizations. In general, if property bit is set, it is true, but if it is unset, the value is unknown.
      Overrides:
      computeSpecialProperties in class ComputedExpression
    • computeCardinality

      public int computeCardinality()
