Interface CodeGeneratorService

All Known Implementing Classes:

CompilerService

public interface CodeGeneratorService

This interface is a dummy stub for the Java code generator in Saxon-EE. It is designed to enable code to be shared between Saxon-HE and Saxon-EE without failing on Saxon-HE because the code generation capability is missing.

Method Summary

String	cast(String variable, Class target) Generate a Java cast unless it is known to be unnecessary.
String	getContextVariableName() Get the name of the Java variable currently bound to the dynamic XPathContext object
