public class ErrorExpression
extends Expression

Error expression: this expression is generated when the supplied expression cannot be parsed, and the containing element enables forwards-compatible processing. It defers the generation of an error message until an attempt is made to evaluate the expression

Constructor Details

ErrorExpression

public ErrorExpression()

This constructor is never executed, but it is used in the expression parser as a dummy so that the Java compiler recognizes parsing methods as always returning a non-null result.

ErrorExpression

public ErrorExpression(String message,
 String errorCode,
 boolean isTypeError)

Create an ErrorExpression, which if evaluated, generates a dynamic error

Parameters:

message - the error message

errorCode - the error code

isTypeError - true if this is a type error

ErrorExpression

public ErrorExpression(XmlProcessingError exception)

Constructor taking an exception. Creating exceptions is expensive, so this constructor should be used only if the exception object already exists.

Parameters:

exception - the error to be thrown when this expression is evaluated

Method Details

getException

public XmlProcessingError getException()

Get the wrapped exception

Returns:

the exception to be thrown when the expression is evaluated

isTypeError

public boolean isTypeError()

getMessage

public String getMessage()

getErrorCodeLocalPart

public String getErrorCodeLocalPart()

setOriginalExpression

public void setOriginalExpression(Expression original)

Set the original expression (for diagnostics)

Parameters:

original - the expression that this error expression replaces

typeCheck

public Expression typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
 ContextItemStaticInfo contextInfo)
                     throws XPathException

Type-check the expression.

Overrides:

typeCheck in class Expression

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 contextItemType)
                    throws XPathException

Description copied from class: Expression

Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the third and final phase of static optimization.

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 Expression

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

contextItemType - 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)

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 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

evaluateItem

public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                  throws XPathException

Evaluate the expression. This always throws the exception registered when the expression was first parsed.

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

iterate

public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context)
                         throws XPathException

Iterate over the expression. This always throws the exception registered when the expression was first parsed.

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

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType()

Determine the data type of the expression, if possible

Specified by:

getItemType in class Expression

Returns:

Type.ITEM (meaning not known in advance)

computeCardinality

protected int computeCardinality()

Determine the static cardinality

Specified by:

computeCardinality in class Expression

Returns:

the computed cardinality, as one of the values StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_ONE, StaticProperty.EXACTLY_ONE, StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ONE_OR_MORE, StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_MORE. May also return StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO if the result is known to be an empty sequence, or StaticProperty.ALLOWS_MANY if if is known to return a sequence of length two or more.

copy

public Expression copy(RebindingMap rebindings)

Description copied from class: Expression

Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.

Specified by:

copy in class Expression

Parameters:

rebindings - a mutable list of (old binding, new binding) pairs that is used to update the bindings held in any local variable references that are copied.

Returns:

the copy of the original expression

getExpressionName

public String getExpressionName()

Get a name identifying the kind of expression, in terms meaningful to a user.

Overrides:

getExpressionName in class Expression

Returns:

a name identifying the kind of expression, in terms meaningful to a user. The name will always be in the form of a lexical XML QName, and should match the name used in export() output displaying the expression.

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from class: Expression

The toString() method for an expression attempts to give a representation of the expression in an XPath-like form.

For subclasses of Expression that represent XPath expressions, the result should always be a string that parses as an XPath 3.0 expression. The expression produced should be equivalent to the original making certain assumptions about the static context. In general the expansion will make no assumptions about namespace bindings, except that (a) the prefix "xs" is used to refer to the XML Schema namespace, and (b) the default function namespace is assumed to be the "fn" namespace.

In the case of XSLT instructions and XQuery expressions, the toString() method gives an abstracted view of the syntax that is not designed in general to be parseable.

Overrides:

toString in class Expression

Returns:

a representation of the expression as a string

toShortString

public String toShortString()

Description copied from class: Expression

Produce a short string identifying the expression for use in error messages

Overrides:

toShortString in class Expression

Returns:

a short string, sufficient to identify the expression

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.

getElaborator

public Elaborator getElaborator()

Description copied from class: Expression

Make an elaborator for this expression

Overrides:

getElaborator in class Expression

Returns:

an appropriate Elaborator
