All Implemented Interfaces:
SaxonXQItemAccessor, XQItemAccessor, XQResultSequence, XQSequence
public class SaxonXQSequence extends Closable implements XQResultSequence, SaxonXQItemAccessor
Saxon implementation of the XQSequence interface in XQJ, which represents an XDM sequence together with a current position. This class is used for a sequence that can be read forwards, backwards, or by absolute position.

  • Method Details

    • absolute

      public boolean absolute(int itempos) throws XQException
      Description copied from interface: XQSequence
      Moves the XQSequence's position to the given item number in this object. If the item number is positive, the XQSequence moves to the given item number with respect to the beginning of the XQSequence.

      The first item is item 1, the second is item 2, and so on.

      If the given item number is negative, the XQSequence positions itself on an absolute item position with respect to the end of the sequence.

      For example, calling the method absolute(-1) positions the XQSequence on the last item; calling the method absolute(-2) moves the XQSequence to the next-to-last item, and so on. absolute(0) will position the sequence before the first item.

      An attempt to position the sequence beyond the first/last item set leaves the current position to be before the first item or after the last item.

      Calling this method on an empty sequence will return false.

      Specified by:
      absolute in interface XQSequence
      Parameters:
      itempos - the item position to jump to
      Returns:
      true if the current position is within the sequence, false otherwise
      Throws:
      XQException - if (1) the sequence is forward only, or (2) the sequence is in a closed state

    • afterLast

      public void afterLast() throws XQException
      Description copied from interface: XQSequence
      Move to the position after the last item.
      Specified by:
      afterLast in interface XQSequence
      Throws:
      XQException - if (1) the sequence is forward only, or (2) the sequence is in a closed state

    • beforeFirst

      public void beforeFirst() throws XQException
      Description copied from interface: XQSequence
      Moves to the position before the first item.
      Specified by:
      beforeFirst in interface XQSequence
      Throws:
      XQException - if (1) the sequence is forward only, or (2) the sequence is in a closed state

    • count

      public int count() throws XQException
      Description copied from interface: XQSequence
      Returns a number indicating the number of items in the sequence.
      Specified by:
      count in interface XQSequence
      Returns:
      the number of items in this sequence
      Throws:
      XQException - if (1) the sequence is forward-only, or (2) the sequence is closed

    • first

      public boolean first() throws XQException
      Description copied from interface: XQSequence
      Moves to the first item in the sequence. The method returns true, if it was able to move to the first item in the sequence false, otherwise. Calling this method on an empty sequence will return false.
      Specified by:
      first in interface XQSequence
      Returns:
      true if the sequence was positioned on the first item, false otherwise
      Throws:
      XQException - if (1) the sequence is forward only, or (2) the sequence is in a closed state

    • getItem

      public XQItem getItem() throws XQException
      Description copied from interface: XQSequence
      Get the current item as an immutable XQItem object. In case of an XQResultSequence, the item is an XQResultItem. In the case of forward only sequences, this method or any other get or write method may only be called once on the curent item.

      The XQItem object is dependent on the sequence from which it was created and is only valid for the duration of XQSequence lifetime. Thus, the XQSequence is closed, this XQItem object will be implicitly closed and it can no longer be used.

      Specified by:
      getItem in interface XQSequence
      Returns:
      an XQItem object
      Throws:
      XQException - if (1) there are errors retrieving the item, or (2) in the case of a forward only sequence, a get or write method has already been invoked on the current item.

    • getSaxonItem

      public Item getSaxonItem()
      Description copied from interface: SaxonXQItemAccessor
      Get the current item, in the form of a Saxon Item object. This allows access to non-XQJ methods to manipulate the item, which will not necessarily be stable from release to release. The resulting Item will be an instance of either NodeInfo or AtomicValue.
      Specified by:
      getSaxonItem in interface SaxonXQItemAccessor
      Returns:
      the current item

    • getPosition

      public int getPosition() throws XQException
      Description copied from interface: XQSequence
      Gets the current cursor position.

      0 indicates that the position is before the first item and count() + 1 indicates position after the last item. A specific position indicates that the cursor is positioned on the item at that position. Use the isOnItem method to verify if the cursor is positioned on the item.

      Calling this method on an empty sequence will return 0.

      Specified by:
      getPosition in interface XQSequence
      Throws:
      XQException - if (1) the sequence is forward-only, or (2) the sequence is closed

    • getSequenceAsStream

      public XMLStreamReader getSequenceAsStream() throws XQException
      Description copied from interface: XQSequence
      Read the entire sequence starting from the current position as an XMLStreamReader object, as described in Section 12.1 Serializing an XDM instance into a StAX event stream (XMLStreamReader), XQuery API for Java (XQJ) 1.0.

      Note that the serialization process might fail, in which case a XQException is thrown.

      While the stream is being read, the application MUST NOT do any other concurrent operations on the sequence. The operation on the stream is undefined if the underlying sequence position or state is changed by concurrent operations.

      After all items are written to the stream, the current position of the cursor is set to point after the last item.

      Also, in the case of forward only sequences, this method may only be called if the current item has not yet been read through any of the get or write methods.

      Specified by:
      getSequenceAsStream in interface XQSequence
      Returns:
      an XML reader object as XMLStreamReader
      Throws:
      XQException - if (1) there are errors accessing any of the items in the sequence, (2) the sequence is in a closed state, (3) in the case of a forward only sequence, a get or write method has already been invoked on the current item, or (4) in case of an error during serialization of the sequence into a StAX event stream as defined in Section 12.1 Serializing an XDM instance into a StAX event stream (XMLStreamReader), XQuery API for Java (XQJ) 1.0

    • getSequenceAsString

      XQException - if (1) there are errors accessing the type of the item, or (2) the underlying sequence or item is in a closed state

    • getLong

      public long getLong() throws XQException
      Description copied from interface: XQItemAccessor
      Gets the current item as a long. The current item must be an atomic value of type xs:decimal or a subtype, and its value must be in the value space of long.
      Specified by:
      getLong in interface XQItemAccessor
      Returns:
      a long representing the current item
      Throws:
      XQException - if (1) the conversion of the current item to a long fails, (2) if there are errors accessing the current item, (3) if the underlying sequence or item is in a closed state, or (4) in the case of forward only sequences, a get or write method was already invoked on the current item

    • getNode

      public Node getNode() throws XQException
      Description copied from interface: XQItemAccessor
      Gets the item as a DOM node. The current item must be a node. The type of the returned DOM node is governed by Table 7 - XQuery Node Types and Corresponding Java Object Types XQuery API for Java (XQJ) 1.0

      The instance of the returned node is implementation dependent. The node may be a reference or a copy of the internal state of the item. It is advisable to make a copy of the node if the application plans to modify it.

      Specified by:
      getNode in interface XQItemAccessor
      Returns:
      a DOM node representing the current item
      Throws:
      XQException - if (1) if there are errors accessing the current item, (2) the current item is not a node, (3) if the underlying sequence or item is in a closed state, or (4) in the case of forward only sequences, a get or write method was already invoked on the current item

    • getNodeUri

      public URI getNodeUri() throws XQException
      Description copied from interface: XQItemAccessor
      Returns the URI for this item. If the item is a document node, then this method returns the absolute URI of the resource from which the document node was constructed. If the document URI is not available, then the empty string is returned. If the document URI is available, the returned value is the same as if fn:document-uri were evaluated on this document node. If the item is of a node kind other than document node, then the returned URI is implementation-defined.

      On a forward only sequence this method can be called independent of any other get or write method. It will not raise an error if such method has been called already, nor will it affect subsequent invocations of any other get or write method on the current item.

      Specified by:
      getNodeUri in interface XQItemAccessor
      Returns:
      the document URI for this document node or the empty string if not available. For other node kinds, the result is implementation-defined
      Throws:
      XQException - if (1) if there are errors accessing the current item, (2) the current item is not a node, (3) if the underlying sequence or item is in a closed state

    • getObject

      public Object getObject() throws XQException
      Description copied from interface: XQItemAccessor
      Gets the current item as an Object.

      The data type of the returned object will be the Java Object type as specified in 14.4 Mapping an XQuery Atomic Value to a Java Object Type and 14.5 Mapping an XQuery Node to a Java Object Type, XQuery API for Java (XQJ) 1.0.

      Specified by:
      getObject in interface XQItemAccessor
      Returns:
      an object representing the current item
      Throws:
      XQException - if (1) if there are errors accessing the current item, (2) if the underlying sequence or item is in a closed state, or (3) in the case of forward only sequences, a get or write method was already invoked on the current item

    • getShort

      public short getShort() throws XQException
      Description copied from interface: XQItemAccessor
      Gets the current item as a short. The current item must be an atomic value of type xs:decimal or a subtype, and its value must be in the value space of short.
      Specified by:
      getShort in interface XQItemAccessor
      Returns:
      a short representing the current item
      Throws:
      XQException - if (1) the conversion of the current item to a short fails, (2) if there are errors accessing the current item, (3) if the underlying sequence or item is in a closed state, or (4) in the case of forward only sequences, a get or write method was already invoked on the current item

    • instanceOf

      public boolean instanceOf(XQItemType type) throws XQException
      Description copied from interface: XQItemAccessor
      Checks if the item "matches" an item type, as defined in 2.5.4.2 Matching an Item Type and an Item, XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language.

      You can use this method to first check the type of the result before calling the specific get methods.



      Example - 
        ...
  XQItemType strType = conn.createAtomicType(XQItemType.XQBASETYPE_STRING);
  XQItemType nodeType = conn.createNodeType();

  XQSequence result = preparedExpr.executeQuery();
  while (result.next())
  {
     // Generic check for node..
     if (result.instanceOf(nodeType))
        org.w3.dom.Node node = result.getNode();
     else if (result.instanceOf(strType))
        String str = result.getAtomicValue();
   }

      If either the type of the XQItemAccessor or the input XQItemType is not a built-in type, then this method is allowed to raise exception if it can NOT determine the instanceOf relationship due to the lack of the access of the XML schema that defines the user defined schema types if the XQMetaData.isUserDefinedXMLSchemaTypeSupported() method returns false.
      Otherwise, this method must determine if the type of the XQItemAccessor is an instance of the input XQItemType. Note even if isUserDefinedXMLSchemaTypeSupported() returns false, an XQJ implementation may still be able to determine the instanceOf relationship for certain cases involving user defined schema type. For example, if the type of an XQItemAccessor is of mySchema:hatSize sequence type and the input parameter XQItemType is of item() sequence type, the return value for instanceOf relationship should always be true even though the XQJ implementation does not know the precise type information of mySchema:hatSize type defined in XML schema 'mySchema'.
      Specified by:
      instanceOf in interface XQItemAccessor
      Parameters:
      type - item type to match
      Returns:
      true if this item matches the input item type as defined in 2.5.4.2 Matching an Item Type and an Item, XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language, and false if it does not
      Throws:
      XQException - if (1) there are errors accessing the item's type, (2) if the underlying sequence or item is in a closed state, (3) if the implementation is unable to determine the schema definition of a user defined schema type, or (4) the type parameter is null

    • writeItemToResult

      public void writeItemToResult(Result result) throws XQException
      Description copied from interface: XQItemAccessor
      Writes the current item to a Result. First the item is normalized as described in XSLT 2.0 and XQuery 1.0 serialization. Subsequently it is serialized to the Result object.

      Note that the normalization process can fail, in which case an XQException is thrown.

      An XQJ implementation must at least support the following implementations:

      • javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMResult
      • javax.xml.transform.sax.SAXResult
      • javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult
      Specified by:
      writeItemToResult in interface XQItemAccessor
      Parameters:
      result - the result object into which the item is to be serialized
      Throws:
      XQException - if (1) there are errors accessing the current item or the underlying sequence, (2) the underlying sequence or item is in a closed state, (3) in the case of a forward only sequence, a get or write method has already been invoked on the current item, (4) in case of an error while serializing the current item into the Result object, or (5) the result parameter is null

      Writes the current item to a SAX handler, as described in in Section 12.2 Serializing an XDM instance into a SAX event stream, XQuery API for Java (XQJ) 1.0.

      Note that the serialization process might fail, in which case a XQException is thrown.

      The specified org.xml.sax.ContentHandler can optionally implement the org.xml.sax.LexicalHandler interface. An implementation must check if the specified ContentHandler implements LexicalHandler. If the handler is a LexicalHandler comment nodes are reported, otherwise they will be silently ignored.

      Specified by:
      writeItemToSAX in interface XQItemAccessor
      Parameters:
      saxHandler - the SAX content handler, optionally a lexical handler
      Throws:
      XQException - if (1) there are errors accessing the current item or the underlying sequence, (2) the underlying sequence or item is in a closed state, (3) in the case of a forward only sequence, a get or write method has already been invoked on the current item, (4) in case of an error while serializing the XDM instance into a SAX event stream, or (5) the saxhdlr parameter is null
