Class CopyModifyExpression

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    ExportAgent, Locatable, IdentityComparable, Traceable
    public class CopyModifyExpression
extends Expression
    A copy-modify expression (called a "transform" expression in the XQuery Update specification)

    Note that this expression doesn't actually perform the copy. It gets wrapped in a let expression that does let $var := $input.copy-of().

    • Constructor Detail

      • CopyModifyExpression

        public CopyModifyExpression​(Expression updateExp,
                            Expression returnExp,
                            int validationMode)
        Create a copy-modify expression (also known as a transform expresion)
        Parameters:
        updateExp - the expression appearing in the modify clause
        returnExp - the expression appearing in the return clause
        validationMode - the mode for validating the updated nodes (strict, lax, or skip)

    • Method Detail

      • operands

        public java.lang.Iterable<Operand> operands()
        Description copied from class: Expression
        Get the immediate sub-expressions of this expression, with information about the relationship of each expression to its parent expression.

        If the expression is a Callable, then it is required that the order of the operands returned by this function is the same as the order of arguments supplied to the corresponding call() method.

        Overrides:
        operands in class Expression
        Returns:
        an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression

      • setUpdateExp

        public void setUpdateExp​(Expression updateExp)

      • setReturnExp

        public void setReturnExp​(Expression returnExp)

      • getCopyBindings

        public Expression getCopyBindings()

      • setCopyBindings

        public void setCopyBindings​(Expression copyBindings)
        Set the copy bindings. This is an expression whose value is the set of nodes that are allowed to be updated. Normally it will consist of a variable reference or a sequence of variable references.
        Parameters:
        copyBindings - the set of Let expressions that bind variables that were copied during the copy phase and that therefore may be updated during the modify phase

      • computeCardinality

        protected int computeCardinality()
        Determine the static cardinality of the expression. This establishes how many items there will be in the result of the expression, at compile time (i.e., without actually evaluating the result.
        Specified by:
        computeCardinality in class Expression
        Returns:
        one of the values Cardinality.ONE_OR_MORE, Cardinality.ZERO_OR_MORE, Cardinality.EXACTLY_ONE, Cardinality.ZERO_OR_ONE, Cardinality.EMPTY. This default implementation returns ZERO_OR_MORE (which effectively gives no information).

      • getItemType

        public ItemType getItemType()
        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.

        Specified by:
        getItemType in class Expression
        Returns:
        a value such as Type.STRING, Type.BOOLEAN, Type.NUMBER, Type.NODE, or Type.ITEM (meaning not known at compile time)

      • isUpdatingExpression

        public boolean isUpdatingExpression()
        Determine whether this is an updating expression as defined in the XQuery update specification
        Overrides:
        isUpdatingExpression in class Expression
        Returns:
        false: although this expression performs updates, it is not classified as an updating expression

      • getExpressionName

        public java.lang.String getExpressionName()
        Get a name identifying the kind of expression, in terms meaningful to a user.
        Overrides:
        getExpressionName in class Expression
        Returns:
        a name identifying the kind of expression, in terms meaningful to a user. The name will always be in the form of a lexical XML QName, and should match the name used in export() output displaying the expression.

      • checkForUpdatingSubexpressions

        public void checkForUpdatingSubexpressions()
                                    throws XPathException
        Check to ensure that this expression does not contain any inappropriate updating subexpressions. This check is overridden for those expressions that permit updating subexpressions.
        Overrides:
        checkForUpdatingSubexpressions in class Expression
        Throws:
        XPathException - if the expression has a non-permitted updating subexpression

      • copy

        public Expression copy​(RebindingMap rebindings)
        Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.
        Specified by:
        copy in class Expression
        Parameters:
        rebindings - variables to be rebound
        Returns:
        the copy of the original 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 provided directly. The other methods will always be available indirectly, using an implementation that relies on one of the other methods.
        Specified by:
        getImplementationMethod in class Expression
        Returns:
        the implementation method, for example Expression.ITERATE_METHOD or Expression.EVALUATE_METHOD or Expression.PROCESS_METHOD

      • export

        public void export​(ExpressionPresenter out)
            throws XPathException
        Diagnostic print of expression structure. The abstract expression tree is written to the supplied output destination.
        Specified by:
        export in interface ExportAgent
        Specified by:
        export in class Expression
        Parameters:
        out - the expression presenter used to display the structure
        Throws:
        XPathException - if the export fails, for example if an expression is found that won't work in the target environment.

      • iterate

        public SequenceIterator iterate​(XPathContext context)
                         throws XPathException
        Return an Iterator to iterate over the values of a sequence. The value of every expression can be regarded as a sequence, so this method is supported for all expressions. This default implementation handles iteration for expressions that return singleton values: for non-singleton expressions, the subclass must provide its own implementation.
        Overrides:
        iterate in class Expression
        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 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.
        Overrides:
        evaluateItem in class Expression
        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​(Outputter output,
                    XPathContext context)
             throws XPathException
        Process the instruction, without returning any tail calls
        Overrides:
        process in class Expression
        Parameters:
        output - the destination for the result
        context - The dynamic context, giving access to the current node,
        Throws:
        XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs
