    • getImplementationMethod

      public int getImplementationMethod()
      Description copied from class: Expression
      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 directly. The other methods will always be available indirectly, using an implementation that relies on one of the other methods.
      Specified by:
      getImplementationMethod in class Expression
      Returns:
      the implementation method, for example Expression.ITERATE_METHOD or Expression.EVALUATE_METHOD or Expression.PROCESS_METHOD

      public boolean equals(Object other)
      Is this expression the same as another expression?
      Overrides:
      equals in class Expression
      Parameters:
      other - the other operand; the result is false if this is not an Expression
      Returns:
      true if the other operand is an expression and if it can be determined that the two expressions are equivalent, in the sense that they will always return the same result.

    • computeHashCode

      Overrides:
      computeHashCode in class Expression

      a computed hash code

    • getIntrinsicDependencies

      public int getIntrinsicDependencies()
      Description copied from class: Expression
      Determine the intrinsic dependencies of an expression, that is, those which are not derived from the dependencies of its subexpressions. For example, position() has an intrinsic dependency on the context position, while (position()+1) does not. The default implementation of the method returns 0, indicating "no dependencies".
      Overrides:
      getIntrinsicDependencies in class Expression
      Returns:
      an integer containing bit-significant flags identifying the "intrinsic" dependencies. The flags are documented in class net.sf.saxon.value.StaticProperty

    • addToPathMap

      public PathMap.PathMapNodeSet addToPathMap(PathMap pathMap, PathMap.PathMapNodeSet pathMapNodeSet)
      Add a representation of this expression to a PathMap. The PathMap captures a map of the nodes visited by an expression in a source tree.

      The default implementation of this method assumes that an expression does no navigation other than the navigation done by evaluating its subexpressions, and that the subexpressions are evaluated in the same context as the containing expression. The method must be overridden for any expression where these assumptions do not hold. For example, implementations exist for AxisExpression, ParentExpression, and RootExpression (because they perform navigation), and for the doc(), document(), and collection() functions because they create a new navigation root. Implementations also exist for PathExpression and FilterExpression because they have subexpressions that are evaluated in a different context from the calling expression.

      Overrides:
      addToPathMap in class Expression
      Parameters:
      pathMap - the PathMap to which the expression should be added
      pathMapNodeSet - the PathMapNodeSet to which the paths embodied in this expression should be added
      Returns:
      the pathMapNodeSet representing the points in the source document that are both reachable by this expression, and that represent possible results of this expression. For an expression that does navigation, it represents the end of the arc in the path map that describes the navigation route. For other expressions, it is the same as the input pathMapNode.

    • isSubtreeExpression

      public boolean isSubtreeExpression()
      Determine whether the expression can be evaluated without reference to the part of the context document outside the subtree rooted at the context node.
      Overrides:
      isSubtreeExpression in class Expression
      Returns:
      true if the expression has no dependencies on the context node, or if the only dependencies on the context node are downward selections using the self, child, descendant, attribute, and namespace axes.

    • getNetCost

      public int getNetCost()
      Description copied from class: Expression
      Return the net cost of evaluating this expression, excluding the cost of evaluating its operands. We take the cost of evaluating a simple scalar comparison or arithmetic expression as 1 (one).
      Overrides:
      getNetCost in class Expression
      Returns:
      the intrinsic cost of this operation, excluding the costs of evaluating the operands

    • toPattern

      the equivalent pattern
      Throws:
      XPathException - if conversion is not possible

      Overrides:
      getStreamerName in class Expression
      Returns:
      the partial name of a class that can be instantiated to provide streaming support in Saxon-EE, or null if there is no such class

    • iterate

      public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context) throws XPathException
      Iterate over the value of the expression
      Overrides:
      iterate in class Expression
      Parameters:
      context - supplies the context for evaluation
      Returns:
      a SequenceIterator that can be used to iterate over the result of the expression
      Throws:
      XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

    • evaluateItem

      public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context) throws XPathException
      Evaluate the expression
      Overrides:
      evaluateItem in class Expression
      Parameters:
      context - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated
      Returns:
      the node or atomic value that results from evaluating the expression; or null to indicate that the result is an empty sequence
      Throws:
      XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

    • reportAbsentContext

      public void reportAbsentContext(XPathContext context) throws XPathException
      Throws:
      XPathException

    • toString

      public String toString()
      The toString() method for an expression attempts to give a representation of the expression in an XPath-like form, but there is no guarantee that the syntax will actually be true XPath. In the case of XSLT instructions, the toString() method gives an abstracted view of the syntax
      Overrides:
      toString in class Expression
      Returns:
      a representation of the expression as a string

    • export

      public void export(ExpressionPresenter destination) throws XPathException
      Diagnostic print of expression structure. The abstract expression tree is written to the supplied output destination.
      Specified by:
      export in interface ExportAgent
      Specified by:
      export in class Expression
      Parameters:
      destination - the expression presenter used to display the structure
      Throws:
      XPathException - if the export fails, for example if an expression is found that won't work in the target environment.
