Method Detail

getInstance

public static AnyItemType getInstance()

Factory method to get the singleton instance

Returns:

the singleton instance

getGenre

public Genre getGenre()

Determine the Genre (top-level classification) of this type

Specified by:

getGenre in interface ItemType

Returns:

the Genre to which this type belongs, specifically Genre.ANY

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

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

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:

false: this type can match nodes or atomic values

matches

public boolean matches(Item item,
                       TypeHierarchy th)

Test whether a given item conforms to this type

Specified by:

matches in interface ItemType

Parameters:

item - The item to be tested

th - The type hierarchy cache

Returns:

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

getPrimitiveItemType

public 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 xs: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:

getPrimitiveItemType in interface ItemType

Returns:

the corresponding primitive type

getPrimitiveType

public int getPrimitiveType()

Description copied from interface: ItemType

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 BuiltInAtomicType.ANY_ATOMIC. 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

getAtomizedItemType

public AtomicType getAtomizedItemType()

Description copied from interface: ItemType

Get the item type of the atomic values that will be produced when an item of this type is atomized

Specified by:

getAtomizedItemType in interface ItemType

Returns:

the best available item type of the atomic values that will be produced when an item of this type is atomized, or null if it is known that atomization will throw an error.

isAtomizable

public boolean isAtomizable(TypeHierarchy th)

Ask whether values of this type are atomizable

Specified by:

isAtomizable in interface ItemType

Parameters:

th - The type hierarchy cache

Returns:

true unless it is known that these items will be elements with element-only content, in which case return false

getDefaultPriority

public double getDefaultPriority()

Description copied from interface: ItemType

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

Specified by:

getDefaultPriority in interface ItemType

Returns:

the default priority

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns a hash code value for the object.

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

one

public SequenceType one()

Get a sequence type representing exactly one instance of this atomic type

Specified by:

one in interface ItemTypeWithSequenceTypeCache

Returns:

a sequence type representing exactly one instance of this atomic type

Since:

9.8.0.2

zeroOrOne

public SequenceType zeroOrOne()

Get a sequence type representing zero or one instances of this atomic type

Specified by:

zeroOrOne in interface ItemTypeWithSequenceTypeCache

Returns:

a sequence type representing zero or one instances of this atomic type

Since:

9.8.0.2

oneOrMore

public SequenceType oneOrMore()

Get a sequence type representing one or more instances of this atomic type

Specified by:

oneOrMore in interface ItemTypeWithSequenceTypeCache

Returns:

a sequence type representing one or more instances of this atomic type

Since:

9.8.0.2

zeroOrMore

public SequenceType zeroOrMore()

Get a sequence type representing one or more instances of this atomic type

Specified by:

zeroOrMore in interface ItemTypeWithSequenceTypeCache

Returns:

a sequence type representing one or more instances of this atomic type

Since:

9.8.0.2
