Class AnyFunctionType

java.lang.Object

net.sf.saxon.type.AnyFunctionType

All Implemented Interfaces:

FunctionItemType, ItemType

Direct Known Subclasses:

AnyFunctionTypeWithAssertions, ArrayItemType, MapType, SpecificFunctionType, TupleItemType

public class AnyFunctionType
extends java.lang.Object
implements FunctionItemType

An ItemType representing the type function(*). Subtypes represent function items with more specific type signatures.

Note that although this class has a singleton instance representing the type function(*), there are also likely to be instances of subclasses representing more specific function types.

ANY_FUNCTION

public static final AnyFunctionType ANY_FUNCTION

Constructor Detail

AnyFunctionType

public AnyFunctionType()

Method Detail

getInstance

public static AnyFunctionType getInstance()

Get the singular instance of this type (Note however that subtypes of this type may have any number of instances)

Returns:

the singular instance of this type

getUType

public UType getUType()

Get the corresponding UType. A UType is a union of primitive item types.

Specified by:

getUType in interface ItemType

Returns:

the smallest UType that subsumes this item type

isAtomicType

public boolean isAtomicType()

Determine whether this item type is an atomic type

Specified by:

isAtomicType in interface ItemType

Returns:

true if this is ANY_ATOMIC_TYPE or a subtype thereof

isPlainType

public boolean isPlainType()

Determine whether this item type is atomic (that is, whether it can ONLY match atomic values)

Specified by:

isPlainType in interface ItemType

Returns:

true if this is ANY_ATOMIC_TYPE or a subtype thereof

isMapType

public boolean isMapType()

Ask whether this function item type is a map type. In this case function coercion (to the map type) will never succeed.

Specified by:

isMapType in interface FunctionItemType

Returns:

true if this FunctionItemType is a map type

isArrayType

public boolean isArrayType()

Ask whether this function item type is an array type. In this case function coercion (to the array type) will never succeed.

Specified by:

isArrayType in interface FunctionItemType

Returns:

true if this FunctionItemType is an array type

getDefaultPriority

public double getDefaultPriority()

Get the default priority when this ItemType is used as an XSLT pattern

Specified by:

getDefaultPriority in interface ItemType

Returns:

the default priority

getBasicAlphaCode

public java.lang.String getBasicAlphaCode()

Get an alphabetic code representing the type, or at any rate, the nearest built-in type from which this type is derived. The codes are designed so that for any two built-in types A and B, alphaCode(A) is a prefix of alphaCode(B) if and only if A is a supertype of B.

Specified by:

getBasicAlphaCode in interface ItemType

Returns:

the alphacode for the nearest containing built-in type

getArgumentTypes

public SequenceType[] getArgumentTypes()

Get the argument types of the function

Specified by:

getArgumentTypes in interface FunctionItemType

Returns:

the argument types, as an array of SequenceTypes, or null if this is the generic function type function(*)

getAnnotationAssertions

public AnnotationList getAnnotationAssertions()

Get the list of annotation assertions defined on this function item type.

Specified by:

getAnnotationAssertions in interface FunctionItemType

Returns:

the list of annotation assertions, or an empty list if there are none

matches

public boolean matches(Item item,
                       TypeHierarchy th)
                throws XPathException

Test whether a given item conforms to this type

Specified by:

matches in interface ItemType

Parameters:

item - The item to be tested

th -

Returns:

true if the item is an instance of this type; false otherwise

Throws:

XPathException

getPrimitiveItemType

public final ItemType getPrimitiveItemType()

Get the primitive item type corresponding to this item type. For item(), this is Type.ITEM. For node(), it is Type.NODE. For specific node kinds, it is the value representing the node kind, for example Type.ELEMENT. For anyAtomicValue it is Type.ATOMIC_VALUE. For numeric it is Type.NUMBER. For other atomic types it is the primitive type as defined in XML Schema, except that integer, xs:dayTimeDuration, and xs:yearMonthDuration are considered to be primitive types. For function items it is the singular instance FunctionItemType.getInstance().

Specified by:

getPrimitiveItemType in interface ItemType

Returns:

the corresponding primitive type

getPrimitiveType

public final int getPrimitiveType()

Get the primitive type corresponding to this item type. For item(), this is Type.ITEM. For node(), it is Type.NODE. For specific node kinds, it is the value representing the node kind, for example Type.ELEMENT. For anyAtomicValue it is Type.ATOMIC_VALUE. For numeric it is Type.NUMBER. For other atomic types it is the primitive type as defined in XML Schema, except that INTEGER is considered to be a primitive type.

Specified by:

getPrimitiveType in interface ItemType

Returns:

the integer fingerprint of the corresponding primitive type

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Produce a representation of this type name for use in error messages.

Specified by:

toString in interface ItemType

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

a string representation of the type, in notation resembling but not necessarily identical to XPath syntax

getAtomizedItemType
