public final class SingletonAtomizer
extends UnaryExpression

A SingletonAtomizer combines the functions of an Atomizer and a CardinalityChecker: it is used to atomize a sequence of nodes, checking that the result of the atomization contains zero or one atomic values. Note that the input may be a sequence of nodes or atomic values, even though the result must contain at most one atomic value.

Constructor Detail

SingletonAtomizer

public SingletonAtomizer(Expression sequence,
                         RoleLocator role,
                         boolean allowEmpty)
Constructor

Parameters:
sequence - the sequence to be atomized
role - contains information about where the expression appears, for use in any error message
allowEmpty - true if the result sequence is allowed to be empty.
Method Detail

simplify

public Expression simplify(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                    throws XPathException
Simplify an expression

Overrides:
simplify in class UnaryExpression
Parameters:
visitor - an expression visitor
Returns:
the simplified expression
Throws:
XPathException - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting

typeCheck

public Expression typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                            ItemType contextItemType)
                     throws XPathException
Type-check the expression

Overrides:
typeCheck in class UnaryExpression
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)

optimize

public Expression optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                           ItemType contextItemType)
                    throws XPathException
Description copied from class: UnaryExpression
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 UnaryExpression
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)

computeSpecialProperties

public int computeSpecialProperties()
Determine the special properties of this expression

Overrides:
computeSpecialProperties in class UnaryExpression
Returns:
StaticProperty.NON_CREATIVE.

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

getRole

public RoleLocator getRole()
Get the RoleLocator (used to construct error messages)

Returns:
the role locator

addToPathMap

public PathMap.PathMapNodeSet addToPathMap(PathMap pathMap,
                                           PathMap.PathMapNodeSet pathMapNodeSet)
Description copied from class: Expression
Add a representation of this expression to a PathMap. The PathMap captures a map of the nodes visited by an expression in a source tree.

The default implementation of this method assumes that an expression does no navigation other than the navigation done by evaluating its subexpressions, and that the subexpressions are evaluated in the same context as the containing expression. The method must be overridden for any expression where these assumptions do not hold. For example, implementations exist for AxisExpression, ParentExpression, and RootExpression (because they perform navigation), and for the doc(), document(), and collection() functions because they create a new navigation root. Implementations also exist for PathExpression and FilterExpression because they have subexpressions that are evaluated in a different context from the calling expression.

Overrides:
addToPathMap in class Expression
Parameters:
pathMap - the PathMap to which the expression should be added
pathMapNodeSet - the PathMapNodeSet to which the paths embodied in this expression should be added
Returns:
the pathMapNodeSet representing the points in the source document that are both reachable by this expression, and that represent possible results of this expression. For an expression that does navigation, it represents the end of the arc in the path map that describes the navigation route. For other expressions, it is the same as the input pathMapNode.

evaluateItem

public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                  throws XPathException
Evaluate as an Item. This should only be called if a singleton or empty sequence is required; it throws a type error if the underlying sequence is multi-valued.

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

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)
Determine the data type of the items returned by the expression, if possible

Overrides:
getItemType in class UnaryExpression
Parameters:
th - the type hierarchy cache
Returns:
a value such as Type.STRING, Type.BOOLEAN, Type.NUMBER. For this class, the result is always an atomic type, but it might be more specific.

computeCardinality

public int computeCardinality()
Determine the static cardinality of the expression

Overrides:
computeCardinality in class UnaryExpression
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

getExpressionName

public String getExpressionName()
Give a string representation of the expression name for use in diagnostics

Overrides:
getExpressionName in class Expression
Returns:
the expression name, as a string
