public final class CardinalityChecker extends UnaryExpression
A CardinalityChecker implements the cardinality checking of "treat as": that is, it returns the supplied sequence, checking that its cardinality is correct

  • Method Details

    • makeCardinalityChecker

      public static Expression makeCardinalityChecker(Expression sequence, int cardinality, Supplier<RoleDiagnostic> roleSupplier)
      Factory method to construct a CardinalityChecker. The method may create an expression that combines the cardinality checking with the functionality of the underlying expression class
      Parameters:
      sequence - the base sequence whose cardinality is to be checked
      cardinality - the required cardinality
      roleSupplier - information to be used in error reporting
      Returns:
      a new Expression that does the CardinalityChecking (not necessarily a CardinalityChecker)

    • getOperandRole

      protected OperandRole getOperandRole()
      Description copied from class: UnaryExpression
      Get the usage (in terms of streamability analysis) of the single operand
      Specified by:
      getOperandRole in class UnaryExpression
      Returns:
      the operand usage

    • getRequiredCardinality

      public int getRequiredCardinality()
      Get the required cardinality
      Returns:
      the cardinality required by this checker

    • typeCheck

      public Expression typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor, ContextItemStaticInfo contextInfo) throws XPathException
      Type-check the expression
      Overrides:
      typeCheck in class UnaryExpression
      Parameters:
      visitor - an expression visitor
      contextInfo - Information available statically about the context item: whether it is (possibly) absent; its static type; its streaming posture.
      Returns:
      the original expression, rewritten to perform necessary run-time type checks, and to perform other type-related optimizations
      Throws:
      XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

    • optimize

      public Expression optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor, ContextItemStaticInfo contextInfo) throws XPathException
      Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions.

      This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved to the declaration of the function or variable, and after all type checking has been done.

      Overrides:
      optimize in class UnaryExpression
      Parameters:
      visitor - an expression visitor
      contextInfo - the static type of "." at the point where this expression is invoked. The parameter is set to null if it is known statically that the context item will be undefined. If the type of the context item is not known statically, the argument is set to Type.ITEM_TYPE
      Returns:
      the original expression, rewritten if appropriate to optimize execution
      Throws:
      XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

    • getRoleLocator

      public RoleDiagnostic getRoleLocator()
      Get the RoleLocator, which contains diagnostic information for use if the cardinality check fails
      Returns:
      the diagnostic information

    • getRoleSupplier

      public Supplier<RoleDiagnostic> getRoleSupplier()

    • getImplementationMethod

      public int getImplementationMethod()
      An implementation of Expression must provide at least one of the methods evaluateItem(), iterate(), or process(). This method indicates which of these methods is provided. This implementation provides both iterate() and process() methods natively.
      Specified by:
      getImplementationMethod in class Expression
      Returns:
      the implementation method, for example Expression.ITERATE_METHOD or Expression.EVALUATE_METHOD or Expression.PROCESS_METHOD

    • getIntegerBounds

      public IntegerValue[] getIntegerBounds()
      For an expression that returns an integer or a sequence of integers, get a lower and upper bound on the values of the integers that may be returned, from static analysis. The default implementation returns null, meaning "unknown" or "not applicable". Other implementations return an array of two IntegerValue objects, representing the lower and upper bounds respectively. The values UNBOUNDED_LOWER and UNBOUNDED_UPPER are used by convention to indicate that the value may be arbitrarily large. The values MAX_STRING_LENGTH and MAX_SEQUENCE_LENGTH are used to indicate values limited by the size of a string or the size of a sequence.
      Overrides:
      getIntegerBounds in class Expression
      Returns:
      the lower and upper bounds of integer values in the result, or null to indicate unknown or not applicable.
