public class SimpleContentConstructor extends ComputedExpression
This class implements the rules for an XSLT simple content constructor, which are used in constructing the string value of an attribute node, text node, comment node, etc, from the value of the select expression or the contained sequence constructor.

    • computeCardinality

      protected int computeCardinality()
      Compute the cardinality of the result of the expression.
      Specified by:
      computeCardinality in class ComputedExpression
      Returns:
      the cardinality, @link {StaticProperty.EXACTLY_ONE}
    • typeCheck

      public Expression typeCheck(StaticContext env, ItemType contextItemType) throws XPathException
      Description copied from interface: Expression
      Perform type checking of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the second phase of static optimization.

      This checks statically that the operands of the expression have the correct type; if necessary it generates code to do run-time type checking or type conversion. A static type error is reported only if execution cannot possibly succeed, that is, if a run-time type error is inevitable. The call may return a modified form of the expression.

      This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved to the declaration of the function or variable. However, the types of such functions and variables may not be accurately known if they have not been explicitly declared.

      If the implementation returns a value other than "this", then it is required to ensure that the parent pointer and location information in the returned expression have been set up correctly. It should not rely on the caller to do this, although for historical reasons many callers do so.

      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
    • optimize

      public Expression optimize(Optimizer opt, StaticContext env, ItemType contextItemType) throws XPathException
      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.

      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
      Throws:
      XPathException
    • getItemType

      public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)
      Determine the data type of the expression, if possible. All expression return sequences, in general; this method determines the type of the items within the sequence, assuming that (a) this is known in advance, and (b) it is the same for all items in the sequence.

      This method should always return a result, though it may be the best approximation that is available at the time.

      Parameters:
      th -
      Returns:
      a value such as Type.STRING, Type.BOOLEAN, Type.NUMBER, Type.NODE, or Type.ITEM (meaning not known at compile time)
    • display

      public void display(int level, PrintStream out, Configuration config)
      Diagnostic print of expression structure. The expression is written to the System.err output stream
      Parameters:
      level - indentation level for this expression
      out - Output destination
      config -
    • simplify

      public Expression simplify(StaticContext env) throws XPathException
      Simplify an expression. This performs any static optimization (by rewriting the expression as a different expression). The default implementation does nothing.
      Specified by:
      simplify in interface Expression
      Overrides:
      simplify in class ComputedExpression
      Parameters:
      env - the static context
      Returns:
      the simplified expression
      Throws:
      XPathException - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting
    • iterateSubExpressions

      public Iterator iterateSubExpressions()
      Get the immediate sub-expressions of this expression. Default implementation returns a zero-length array, appropriate for an expression that has no sub-expressions.
      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
    • promote

      public Expression promote(PromotionOffer offer) throws XPathException
      Offer promotion for this subexpression. The offer will be accepted if the subexpression is not dependent on the factors (e.g. the context item) identified in the PromotionOffer. By default the offer is not accepted - this is appropriate in the case of simple expressions such as constant values and variable references where promotion would give no performance advantage. This method is always called at compile time.
      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
    • evaluateItem

      public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context) throws XPathException
      Evaluate an expression as a single item. This always returns either a single Item or null (denoting the empty sequence). No conversion is done. This method should not be used unless the static type of the expression is a subtype of "item" or "item?": that is, it should not be called if the expression may return a sequence. There is no guarantee that this condition will be detected.
      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
    • 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 prefered.
      Specified by:
      getImplementationMethod in interface Expression
      Overrides:
      getImplementationMethod in class ComputedExpression
