ObjectLookupExpression
public class LookupExpression extends BinaryExpression
A lookup expression is an expression of the form A?B. Here A must be a sequence of maps or arrays. In the general case B is an expression that computes a key/index into the map or array; the case where B is constant needs to be handled efficiently. The class also implements the unary lookup expression ?B, which is interpreted as .?B. It does not handle the case A?* - that is handled as a LookupAllExpression.

    • getOperandRole

      protected OperandRole getOperandRole(int arg)
      Description copied from class: BinaryExpression
      Get the operand role
      Overrides:
      getOperandRole in class BinaryExpression

    • getExpressionName

      public String getExpressionName()
      Description copied from class: Expression
      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.

    • getItemType

      public ItemType getItemType()
      Determine the data type of the items returned by this expression
      Specified by:
      getItemType in class Expression
      Returns:
      the type of the expression, as far as this is known. Prior to type-checking, the method returns AnyItemType

    • getStaticUType

      public UType getStaticUType(UType contextItemType)
      Get the static type of the expression as a UType, following precisely the type inference rules defined in the XSLT 3.0 specification.
      Overrides:
      getStaticUType in class Expression
      Parameters:
      contextItemType - not used
      Returns:
      the static item type of the expression according to the XSLT 3.0 defined rules

    • typeCheck

      public Expression typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor, ContextItemStaticInfo contextInfo) throws XPathException
      Type-check the expression
      Overrides:
      typeCheck in class BinaryExpression
      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
      Description copied from class: BinaryExpression
      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 BinaryExpression
      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)

    • getCost

      public double getCost()
      Return the estimated cost of evaluating an expression. This is a very crude measure based on the syntactic form of the expression (we have no knowledge of data values). We take the cost of evaluating a simple scalar comparison or arithmetic expression as 1 (one), and we assume that a sequence has length 5. The resulting estimates may be used, for example, to reorder the predicates in a filter expression so cheaper predicates are evaluated first.
      Overrides:
      getCost in class Expression
      Returns:
      a rough estimate of the cost of evaluation

    • 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.
      Overrides:
      getImplementationMethod in class BinaryExpression
      Returns:
      the implementation method, for example Expression.ITERATE_METHOD or Expression.EVALUATE_METHOD or Expression.PROCESS_METHOD

    • copy

      public LookupExpression copy(RebindingMap rebindings)
      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

    • computeCardinality

      protected int computeCardinality()
      Determine the static cardinality of the expression
      Overrides:
      computeCardinality in class BinaryExpression
      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.

    • equals

      public boolean equals(Object other)
      Is this expression the same as another expression?
      Overrides:
      equals in class BinaryExpression
      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

      protected int computeHashCode()
      get HashCode for comparing two expressions
      Overrides:
      computeHashCode in class BinaryExpression
      Returns:
      a computed hash code

    • iterate

      public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context) throws XPathException
      Iterate the lookup-expression in a given context
      Overrides:
      iterate in class Expression
      Parameters:
      context - the evaluation context
      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

    • mustBeArrayOrMap

      protected static void mustBeArrayOrMap(Expression exp, Item baseItem) throws XPathException
      Throws:
      XPathException

    • 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
      Overrides:
      export in class BinaryExpression
      Parameters:
      destination - the output destination for the displayed expression tree
      Throws:
      XPathException - if the export fails, for example if an expression is found that won't work in the target environment.

    • 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 BinaryExpression
      Returns:
      a representation of the expression as a string

    • getElaborator

      public Elaborator getElaborator()
      Description copied from class: Expression
      Make an elaborator for this expression
      Overrides:
      getElaborator in class Expression
      Returns:
      an appropriate Elaborator
