Interface BindingReference

All Known Implementing Classes:
Assign, GlobalVariableReference, LocalVariableReference, VariableReference

public interface BindingReference
BindingReference is a interface used to mark references to a variable declaration. The main implementation is VariableReference, which represents a reference to a variable in an XPath expression, but it is also used to represent a reference to a variable in a saxon:assign instruction.

  • Method Details

    • setStaticType

      void setStaticType(SequenceType type, GroundedValue constantValue, int properties)
      Fix up the static type of this variable reference; optionally, supply a constant value for the variable. Also supplies other static properties of the expression to which the variable is bound, for example whether it is an ordered node-set.
      Parameters:
      type - The static type of the variable reference, typically either the declared type of the variable, or the static type of the expression to which the variable is bound
      constantValue - if non-null, indicates that the value of the variable is known at compile time, and supplies the value
      properties - static properties of the expression to which the variable is bound
    • fixup

      void fixup(Binding binding)
      Fix up this binding reference to a binding
      Parameters:
      binding - the Binding to which the variable refers
