    • prepareAttributes

      public void prepareAttributes() throws XPathException
      Description copied from class: StyleElement
      Set the attribute list for the element. This is called to process the attributes (note the distinction from processAttributes in the superclass). Must be supplied in a subclass
      Specified by:
      prepareAttributes in class StyleElement
      Throws:
      XPathException
    • validate

      public void validate() throws XPathException
      Description copied from class: StyleElement
      Check that the stylesheet element is valid. This is called once for each element, after the entire tree has been built. As well as validation, it can perform first-time initialisation. The default implementation does nothing; it is normally overriden in subclasses.
      Overrides:
      validate in class StyleElement
      Throws:
      XPathException
    • compile

      public Expression compile(Executable exec) throws XPathException
      Description copied from class: StyleElement
      Compile the instruction on the stylesheet tree into an executable instruction for use at run-time.
      Specified by:
      compile in class StyleElement
      Returns:
      either a ComputedExpression, or null. The value null is returned when compiling an instruction that returns a no-op, or when compiling a top-level object such as an xsl:template that compiles into something other than an instruction.
      Throws:
      XPathException
