public interface Container
extends SourceLocator, Serializable

A Container is something other than an expression that can act as the container of an expression. It is typically an object such as a function, a global variable, or in XSLT a template, or an attribute set. When free-standing XPath expressions are compiled, the static context for the expression acts as its container.

Method Summary

Executable	getExecutable() Get the Executable (representing a complete stylesheet or query) of which this Container forms part
int	getHostLanguage() Get the host language (XSLT, XQuery, XPath) used to implement the code in this container
LocationProvider	getLocationProvider() Get the LocationProvider allowing location identifiers to be resolved.
boolean	replaceSubExpression(Expression original, Expression replacement) Replace one subexpression by a replacement subexpression

Method Detail

getExecutable

Executable getExecutable()

Get the Executable (representing a complete stylesheet or query) of which this Container forms part

Returns:

the executable

getLocationProvider

LocationProvider getLocationProvider()

Get the LocationProvider allowing location identifiers to be resolved.

Returns:

the location provider

getHostLanguage

int getHostLanguage()

Get the host language (XSLT, XQuery, XPath) used to implement the code in this container

Returns:

typically Configuration.XSLT or Configuration.XQUERY

replaceSubExpression

boolean replaceSubExpression(Expression original,
                             Expression replacement)

Replace one subexpression by a replacement subexpression

Parameters:

original - the original subexpression

replacement - the replacement subexpression

Returns:

true if the original subexpression was found
