Interface BindingReference

  • All Known Implementing Classes:
    Assign, GlobalVariableReference, LocalVariableReference, VariableReference

    public interface BindingReference
    BindingReference is a interface used to mark references to a variable declaration. The main implementation is VariableReference, which represents a reference to a variable in an XPath expression, but it is also used to represent a reference to a variable in a saxon:assign instruction.

      • setStaticType

        void setStaticType​(SequenceType type,
                           GroundedValue constantValue,
                           int properties)
        Fix up the static type of this variable reference; optionally, supply a constant value for the variable. Also supplies other static properties of the expression to which the variable is bound, for example whether it is an ordered node-set.
        Parameters:
        type - The static type of the variable reference, typically either the declared type of the variable, or the static type of the expression to which the variable is bound
        constantValue - if non-null, indicates that the value of the variable is known at compile time, and supplies the value
        properties - static properties of the expression to which the variable is bound
      • fixup

        void fixup​(Binding binding)
        Fix up this binding reference to a binding
        Parameters:
        binding - the Binding to which the variable refers
