Interface XQMetaData

All Known Implementing Classes:
SaxonXQMetaData
public interface XQMetaData
XQMetaData interface provides information about the data source, in various aspects, such as the product name and version identification, supported features, specific behaviors, user information, product limits and so forth.

An object implementing this interface is obtained from the connection object by calling the getMetaData() method, for example: 
  XQMetaData metaData = connection.getMetaData();
  String productVersion = metaData.getProductVersion();
 ...
Since the metadata object depends on the connection, all its methods would raise an exception if the connection it is created from is no longer valid.

    • getSupportedXQueryEncodings

      Set getSupportedXQueryEncodings() throws XQException
      Returns a set of java.lang.String, each of which specifies a character encoding method the XQJ implmentation supports to parse the XQuery query text.

      For an example, for an XQJ impmentation which is able to parse the XQuery encoded in "UTF-8" or "UTF-16", it returns a java.util.Set of "UTF-8" and "UTF-16".

      If the implemetation is not able to generate a list of encodings supported, an empty set is returned. If a non-empty set is returned, the encodings returned in this set are guaranteed to be supported. Note that encodings not in the returned set might also be supported. For example, if the set has two encoding methods: 'UTF-8' and 'UTF-16', they are supported by the implementation. However, this does not mean 'Shift-Js' is not supported. It might be supported.

      Returns:
      a java.util.Set of java.lang.String, each of which is an XQuery query text encoding method
      Throws:
      XQException - if the connection is no longer valid

      Parameters:
      encoding - String representing the character encoding method of the XQuery query text.
      Returns:
      true if an XQuery query character encoding method is supported, false otherwise
      Throws:
      XQException - if (1) the connection is no longer valid, or (2) the specified encoding parameter is null

    • isUserDefinedXMLSchemaTypeSupported

      boolean isUserDefinedXMLSchemaTypeSupported() throws XQException
      Check if the user defined XML schema type is supported in this connection. If this method returns true, then XQItemAccessor.instanceOf(XQItemType) must be able to determine if the type of an XQItemAccessor is an instance of the XQItemType even if either of them is a user defined XML schema type which is defined by the non-predefined XML schema. The pre-defined XML Schema refers to the XML schema whose schema URL is "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
      Returns:
      true if the user defined XML schema type is supported in this connection, false otherwise.
      Throws:
      XQException - if the connection is no longer valid
