public class UniversalPattern extends Pattern
The UniversalPattern matches everything

  • Constructor Details

    • UniversalPattern

      public UniversalPattern()
      Create an UniversalPattern that matches all items

  • Method Details

    • matches

      public boolean matches(Item item, XPathContext context)
      Determine whether this Pattern matches the given Node. This is the main external interface for matching patterns: it sets current() to the node being tested
      Specified by:
      matches in class Pattern
      Parameters:
      item - The item to be tested against the Pattern
      context - The context in which the match is to take place.
      Returns:
      true if the item matches the Pattern, false otherwise

    • getUType

      public UType getUType()
      Get a UType indicating which kinds of items this Pattern can match.
      Specified by:
      getUType in class Pattern
      Returns:
      a UType indicating all the primitive types of item that the pattern can match.

    • getItemType

      public ItemType getItemType()
      Get a NodeTest that all the nodes matching this pattern must satisfy
      Specified by:
      getItemType in class Pattern
      Returns:
      an ItemType, as specific as possible, which all the matching items satisfy

    • getFingerprint

      public int getFingerprint()
      Determine the name fingerprint of nodes to which this pattern applies. Used for optimisation.
      Overrides:
      getFingerprint in class Pattern
      Returns:
      A fingerprint that the nodes must match, or -1 if it can match multiple fingerprints

    • reconstruct

      public String reconstruct()
      Display the pattern for diagnostics
      Overrides:
      reconstruct in class Pattern

    • export

      public void export(ExpressionPresenter presenter)
      Description copied from class: Expression
      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 Pattern
      Parameters:
      presenter - the expression presenter used to display the structure

    • equals

      public boolean equals(Object other)
      Determine whether this pattern is the same as another pattern
      Overrides:
      equals in class Expression
      Parameters:
      other - the other object
      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()
      Hashcode supporting equals()
      Overrides:
      computeHashCode in class Expression
      Returns:
      a computed hash code

    • copy

      public Pattern copy(RebindingMap rebindings)
      Copy a UniversalPattern. Since there is only one, return the same.
      Specified by:
      copy in class Pattern
      Parameters:
      rebindings - variables that need to be re-bound
      Returns:
      the original nodeTest
