Method Detail

parseSelector

public Selection parseSelector(String expression,
                               StaticContext env,
                               boolean isField)
                        throws XPathException

Parse a string representing the restricted XPath expression allowed in an XML Schema selector or field attribute

Parameters:

expression - the expression expressed as a String

env - the static context for the expression

isField - true if the attribute is a "field" attribute, false if it is a "selector" attribute

Returns:

an Expression object representing the result of parsing

Throws:

XPathException - if the expression contains a syntax error

makePathSelection

public static PathSelection makePathSelection(Expression path,
                                              boolean failIfInvalid)
                                       throws XPathException

Make a PathSelection object from a suitable expression. This method is public because it is also used by the optimizer for SequentialCopy expressions.

Parameters:

path - the input expression

failIfInvalid - if true, the method will throw an exception if the expression is unsuitable. If false, it will return null if the expression is unsuitable.

Returns:

The PathSelection object, or null if the expression is unsuitable for use as a PathSelection and the failIfInvalid argument was set to false.

Throws:

XPathException - if the expression is unsuitable for use as a PathSelection and the failIfInvalid argument was set to true.
