      Syntax:

      StaticError - if any error is encountered
    • parseRemainingPath

      protected Expression parseRemainingPath(Expression start) throws StaticError
      Parse the remaining steps of an absolute path expression (one starting in "/" or "//").

      Parameters:
      start - the initial implicit expression: root() in the case of "/", root()/descendant-or-self::node in the case of "//"
      Returns:
      the completed path expression
      Throws:
      StaticError
    • parseStepExpression

      Throws:
      StaticError - if any error is encountered
    • makeStringLiteral

      protected StringValue makeStringLiteral(String currentTokenValue) throws StaticError
      Method to make a string literal from a token identified as a string literal. This is trivial in XPath, but in XQuery the method is overridden to identify pseudo-XML character and entity references. Note that the job of handling doubled string delimiters is done by the tokenizer.
      Parameters:
      currentTokenValue -
      Returns:
      The string value of the string literal
      Throws:
      StaticError
    • parseConstructor

      protected Expression parseConstructor() throws StaticError

      Throws:
      StaticError
    • parseNodeTest

      protected NodeTest parseNodeTest(short nodeType) throws StaticError
      Parse a NodeTest. One of QName, prefix:*, *:suffix, *, text(), node(), comment(), or processing-instruction(literal?), or element(~,~), attribute(~,~), etc.
      Parameters:

      StaticError - if any error is encountered
    • declareRangeVariable

      protected void declareRangeVariable(VariableDeclaration declaration) throws StaticError

      Parameters:
      declaration - the VariableDeclaration to be added to the stack
      Throws:
      StaticError - if any error is encountered
    • undeclareRangeVariable

      Note when the most recently declared range variable has gone out of scope
    • getRangeVariableStack

      public Stack getRangeVariableStack()

      Parameters:
      qname - The name as written, in the form "[prefix:]localname"
      useDefault - Defines the action when there is no prefix. If true, use the default namespace URI for element names. If false, use no namespace URI (as for attribute names).
      Returns:
      the namecode, which can be used to identify this name in the name pool
      Throws:
      StaticError - if the name is invalid, or the prefix undeclared

      a LocalNameTest, a pattern which matches all nodes of a given local name, regardless of namespace
      Throws:
      StaticError - if the local name is invalid
    • setLocation

      protected void setLocation(Expression exp)
      Set location information on an expression. At present this consists of a simple line number. Needed mainly for XQuery.
    • setLocation

      protected void setLocation(Expression exp, int offset)
      Set location information on an expression. At present only the line number is retained. Needed mainly for XQuery. This version of the method supplies an explicit offset (character position within the expression or query), which the tokenizer can convert to a line number and column number.
