Constructor Detail

BooleanExpression

public BooleanExpression(Expression p1,
                         int operator,
                         Expression p2)
Construct a boolean expression

Parameters:
p1 - the first operand
operator - one of Token.AND or Token.OR
p2 - the second operand
Method Detail

getExpressionName

public 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 explain() output displaying the expression.

typeCheck

public Expression typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                            ItemType contextItemType)
                     throws XPathException
Description copied from class: BinaryExpression
Type-check the expression. Default implementation for binary operators that accept any kind of operand

Overrides:
typeCheck in class BinaryExpression
Parameters:
visitor - an expression visitor
contextItemType - the static type of "." at the point where this expression is invoked. The parameter is set to null if it is known statically that the context item will be undefined. If the type of the context item is not known statically, the argument is set to Type.ITEM_TYPE
Returns:
the original expression, rewritten to perform necessary run-time type checks, and to perform other type-related optimizations
Throws:
XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

computeCardinality

public int computeCardinality()
Determine the static cardinality. Returns [1..1]

Overrides:
computeCardinality in class BinaryExpression
Returns:
the computed cardinality, as one of the values StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_ONE, StaticProperty.EXACTLY_ONE, StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ONE_OR_MORE, StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_MORE

optimize

public Expression optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                           ItemType contextItemType)
                    throws XPathException
Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions.

This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved to the declaration of the function or variable, and after all type checking has been done.

Overrides:
optimize in class BinaryExpression
Parameters:
visitor - an expression visitor
contextItemType - the static type of "." at the point where this expression is invoked. The parameter is set to null if it is known statically that the context item will be undefined. If the type of the context item is not known statically, the argument is set to Type.ITEM_TYPE
Returns:
the original expression, rewritten if appropriate to optimize execution
Throws:
XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

copy

public Expression copy()
Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.

Specified by:
copy in class Expression
Returns:
the copy of the original expression

isNegatable

public boolean isNegatable(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
Check whether this specific instance of the expression is negatable

Specified by:
isNegatable in interface Negatable
Returns:
true if it is

negate

public Expression negate()
Return the negation of this boolean expression, that is, an expression that returns true when this expression returns false, and vice versa

Specified by:
negate in interface Negatable
Returns:
the negation of this expression

evaluateItem

public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                  throws XPathException
Evaluate the expression

Specified by:
evaluateItem in interface EvaluableItem
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

effectiveBooleanValue

public boolean effectiveBooleanValue(XPathContext c)
                              throws XPathException
Evaluate as a boolean.

Overrides:
effectiveBooleanValue in class Expression
Parameters:
c - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated
Returns:
the effective boolean value
Throws:
XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)
Determine the data type of the expression

Specified by:
getItemType in class Expression
Parameters:
th - the type hierarchy cache
Returns:
BuiltInAtomicType.BOOLEAN

listAndComponents

public static void listAndComponents(Expression exp,
                                     List list)
Construct a list containing the "anded" subexpressions of an expression: if the expression is (A and B and C), this returns (A, B, C).

Parameters:
exp - the expression to be decomposed
list - the list to which the subexpressions are to be added.
