All Implemented Interfaces:

SchemaElement.XPathStaticContext

public class IndependentContext extends AbstractStaticContext implements XPathStaticContext, NamespaceResolver
An IndependentContext provides a context for parsing an XPath expression appearing in a context other than a stylesheet.

This class is used in a number of places where freestanding XPath expressions occur. These include the native Saxon XPath API, the .NET XPath API, XPath expressions used in XML Schema identity constraints, and XPath expressions supplied to saxon:evaluate(). It is not used by the JAXP XPath API (though it shares code with that API through the common superclass AbstractStaticContext).

This class currently provides no mechanism for binding user-defined functions.

  • Field Details

  • Constructor Details

    • IndependentContext

      public IndependentContext()
      Create an IndependentContext along with a new (non-schema-aware) Saxon Configuration
    • IndependentContext

      public IndependentContext(Configuration config)
      Create an IndependentContext using a specific Configuration
      Parameters:
      config - the Saxon configuration to be used
    • IndependentContext

      public IndependentContext(IndependentContext ic)
      Create a IndependentContext as a copy of another IndependentContext
      Parameters:
      ic - the IndependentContext to be copied
  • Method Details

    • makeRetainedStaticContext

      public RetainedStaticContext makeRetainedStaticContext()
      Construct a RetainedStaticContext, which extracts information from this StaticContext to provide the subset of static context information that is potentially needed during expression evaluation. This implementation returns the same RetainedStaticContext object each time, which relies on the information in the static context being effectively immutable while the IndependentContext object remains in use.
      Specified by:
      makeRetainedStaticContext in interface StaticContext
      Overrides:
      makeRetainedStaticContext in class AbstractStaticContext
      Returns:
      a RetainedStaticContext object: either a newly created one, or one that is reused from a previous invocation.
    • declareNamespace

      public void declareNamespace(String prefix, NamespaceUri uri)
      Declare a namespace whose prefix can be used in expressions
      Parameters:
      prefix - The namespace prefix. Must not be null. Supplying "" sets the default element namespace.
      uri - The namespace URI. Must not be null.
    • setDefaultElementNamespace

      public void setDefaultElementNamespace(NamespaceUri uri)
      Set the default namespace for elements and types
      Specified by:
      setDefaultElementNamespace in interface XPathStaticContext
      Overrides:
      setDefaultElementNamespace in class AbstractStaticContext
      Parameters:
      uri - the namespace to be used for unprefixed element and type names. The value "" (or NamespaceConstant.NULL) represents the non-namespace
    • clearNamespaces

      public void clearNamespaces()
      Clear all the declared namespaces, except for the standard ones (xml, xsl, saxon). This also resets the default element namespace to the "null" namespace
    • clearAllNamespaces

      public void clearAllNamespaces()
      Clear all the declared namespaces, including the standard ones (xml, xslt, saxon). Leave only the XML namespace and the default namespace (xmlns=""). This also resets the default element namespace to the "null" namespace.
    • setNamespaces

      public void setNamespaces(NodeInfo node)
      Declares all the namespaces that are in-scope for a given node, removing all previous namespace declarations. In addition, the standard namespaces (xml, xslt, saxon) are declared. This method also sets the default element namespace to be the same as the default namespace for this node.
      Parameters:
      node - The node whose in-scope namespaces are to be used as the context namespaces. If the node is an attribute, text node, etc, then the namespaces of its parent element are used.
    • setNamespaceResolver

      public void setNamespaceResolver(NamespaceResolver resolver)
      Set an external namespace resolver. If this is set, then all resolution of namespace prefixes is delegated to the external namespace resolver, and namespaces declared individually on this IndependentContext object are ignored.
      Specified by:
      setNamespaceResolver in interface XPathStaticContext
      Parameters:
      resolver - the external NamespaceResolver
    • setAllowUndeclaredVariables

      public void setAllowUndeclaredVariables(boolean allow)
      Say whether undeclared variables are allowed. By default, they are not allowed. When undeclared variables are allowed, it is not necessary to predeclare the variables that may be used in the XPath expression; instead, a variable is automatically declared when a reference to the variable is encountered within the expression.
      Parameters:
      allow - true if undeclared variables are allowed, false if they are not allowed.
      Since:
      9.2
    • isAllowUndeclaredVariables

      public boolean isAllowUndeclaredVariables()
      Ask whether undeclared variables are allowed. By default, they are not allowed. When undeclared variables are allowed, it is not necessary to predeclare the variables that may be used in the XPath expression; instead, a variable is automatically declared when a reference to the variable is encountered within the expression.
      Returns:
      true if undeclared variables are allowed, false if they are not allowed.
      Since:
      9.2
    • declareVariable

      public XPathVariable declareVariable(QNameValue qname)

      public Expression bindVariable(StructuredQName qName) throws XPathException
      Bind a variable used in an XPath Expression to the XSLVariable element in which it is declared.

      public boolean isImportedSchema(NamespaceUri namespace)
      Description copied from interface: StaticContext
      Ask whether a Schema for a given target namespace has been imported. Note that the in-scope element declarations, attribute declarations and schema types are the types registered with the (schema-aware) configuration, provided that their namespace URI is registered in the static context as being an imported schema namespace. (A consequence of this is that within a Configuration, there can only be one schema for any given namespace, including the null namespace).
      Specified by:
      isImportedSchema in interface StaticContext
      Parameters:
      namespace - the target namespace in question
      Returns:
      true if the given namespace has been imported

      getImportedSchemaNamespaces in interface StaticContext
      Returns:

    • setImportedSchemaNamespaces

      public void setImportedSchemaNamespaces(Set<NamespaceUri> namespaces)
      Register the set of imported schema namespaces
      Parameters:
      namespaces - the set of namespaces for which schema components are available in the static context
    • setRequiredContextItemType

      public void setRequiredContextItemType(ItemType type)
      Declare the static type of the context item. If this type is declared, and if a context item is supplied when the query is invoked, then the context item must conform to this type (no type conversion will take place to force it into this type).
      Parameters:
      type - the required type of the context item
      Since:
      9.3
    • getRequiredContextItemType

      public ItemType getRequiredContextItemType()

      Specified by:
      getRequiredContextItemType in interface StaticContext
      Overrides:
      getRequiredContextItemType in class AbstractStaticContext
      Returns:

      9.3
    • setOptimizerOptions

      public void setOptimizerOptions(OptimizerOptions options)

      public int getLineNumber()
    • isContextItemParentless

      public boolean isContextItemParentless()
      Ask whether the context item is known to be parentless
      Specified by:
      isContextItemParentless in interface XPathStaticContext
      Returns:
      true if it is known that the context item for evaluating the expression will have no parent
