Interface XQDynamicContext

  • All Known Subinterfaces:
    XQExpression, XQPreparedExpression
    All Known Implementing Classes:
    SaxonXQDynamicContext, SaxonXQExpression, SaxonXQPreparedExpression

    public interface XQDynamicContext
    XQDynamicContext provides access to the dynamic context as defined in 2.1.2 Dynamic Context, XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language. The following components can be accessed:
    • The context item can be set
    • The variable values can be bound
    • The implicit time zone can be retrieved or specified

    Where the prolog of the expression specifies the static type of external variables, this interface allows the dynamic type and value of the variable to be specified.

    Note that in case of an XQPreparedExpression, values may only be bound to those variables that are defined in the prolog of the expression.

    Example -

    
      XQConnection conn = XQDataSource.getConnection();
    
      // create an XQPreparedExpression with external variable
      XQPreparedExpression e1 = conn.prepareExpression("declare variable $i as xs:int external;
                                                        $i + 10");
    
      // bind an int to the external variable
      e1.bindInt(new QName("i"), 200, null);
    
      // this will fail as the expression has no external variable $foo
      e1.bindInt(new QName("foo"), 200, null);
    
      // this will fail as xs:double is not compatible with an external
      variable declared as xs:int
      e1.bindDouble(new QName("i"), 2e2, null);
    
      // create an XQExpression with external variable
    
      XQExpression e2 = conn.createExpression();
    
      // bind a value to $i and $foo
      e2.bindInt(new QName("i"), 200, null);
      e2.bindInt(new QName("foo"), 200, null);
    
      // the value bound to $foo is ignored as the expression doesn't
      // declare $foo as external variable
    
      e2.executeQuery("declare variable $i as xs:int external; $i + 10");
    
     


    Binding a value to the context item is achieved in the same way as binding a value to an external variable. However, instead of specifying the variable's name as first argument of the bindXXX() method, use XQConstants.CONTEXT_ITEM as the first argument.

    Binding mode

    The default binding mode is immediate. In other words, the external variable value specified by the application is consumed during the bindXXX() method.

    An application has the ability to set the binding mode to deferred. In deferred mode an application cannot assume that the bound value will be consumed during the invocation of the bindXXX method. In such scenario the order in which the bindings are evaluated is implementation-dependent, and an implementation doesn't necessarily need to consume a binding if it can evaluate the query without requiring the external variable. The XQJ implementation is also free to read the bound value either at bind time or during the subsequent evaluation and processing of the query results.

    Also note that in deferred binding mode, bindings are only active for a single execution cycle. The application is required to explicitly re-bind values to every external variable before each execution. Failing to do so will result in an XQException, as the implementation will assume during the next execution that none of the external variables are bound.

    Finally, note that in deferred binding mode, any error condition specified to throw an exception during the bindXXX() methods, may as well be thrown later during the query's evaluation.

    Example - in case of an immediate binding mode, bindings stay active over executions

      // BINDING_MODE_IMMEDIATE is the default, no need to change it
      QName v = new QName(v);
    
      XQPreparedExpression e = c.prepareExpression("declare variable $v
                                                    external; $v");
      e.bindInt(v, 1)
    
      // successful execution
      e.executeQuery();
    
      // successful execution
      e.executeQuery();
     


    Example - in case of a deferred binding mode, bindings are only valid for a single execution
      // BINDING_MODE_IMMEDIATE is the default, change it to
      // BINDING_MODE_DEFERRED
      XQStaticContext cntxt = c.getStaticContext();
      cntxt.setBindingMode(XQConstants.BINDING_MODE_DEFERRED);
      c.setStaticContext(cntxt);
    
      QName v = new QName(v);
    
      XQPreparedExpression e = c.prepareExpression("declare variable $v
                                                    external; $v");
      e.bindInt(v, 1)
    
      // successful execution
      XQSequence s = e.executeQuery();
    
      while (s.next())
        System.out.println(s.getInt());
    
      // an error is reported during the next query
      // evaluation as not all external variables are bound
      s = e.executeQuery();
    
      while (s.next())
        System.out.println(s.getInt());
