    • isAtomicType

      public boolean isAtomicType()
      Description copied from interface: ItemType
      Determine whether this item type is an atomic type
      Specified by:
      isAtomicType in interface ItemType
      Returns:
      true if this is ANY_ATOMIC_TYPE or a subtype thereof

    • matches

      public boolean matches(Item item, TypeHierarchy th)
      Description copied from interface: ItemType
      Test whether a given item conforms to this type
      Specified by:
      matches in interface ItemType
      Parameters:
      item - The item to be tested
      th - The type hierarchy cache. Currently used only when matching function items.
      Returns:
      true if the item is an instance of this type; false otherwise

    • isPlainType

      public boolean isPlainType()
      Description copied from interface: ItemType
      Determine whether this item type is a plain type (that is, whether it can ONLY match atomic values)
      Specified by:
      isPlainType in interface ItemType
      Returns:
      true if this is ANY_ATOMIC_TYPE or a subtype thereof, or a "plain" union type (that is, unions of atomic types that impose no further restrictions). Return false if this is a union type whose member types are not all known.

    • getPrimitiveType

      public int getPrimitiveType()
      Description copied from interface: ItemType
      Get the primitive type corresponding to this item type. For item(), this is Type.ITEM. For node(), it is Type.NODE. For specific node kinds, it is the value representing the node kind, for example Type.ELEMENT. For anyAtomicValue it is BuiltInAtomicType.ANY_ATOMIC. For numeric it is Type.NUMBER. For other atomic types it is the primitive type as defined in XML Schema, except that INTEGER is considered to be a primitive type.
      Specified by:
      getPrimitiveType in interface ItemType
      Returns:
      the integer fingerprint of the corresponding primitive type

    • getBasicAlphaCode

      public String getBasicAlphaCode()
      Get an alphabetic code representing the type, or at any rate, the nearest built-in type from which this type is derived. The codes are designed so that for any two built-in types A and B, alphaCode(A) is a prefix of alphaCode(B) if and only if A is a supertype of B.
      Specified by:
      getBasicAlphaCode in interface ItemType
      Returns:
      the alphacode for the nearest containing built-in type

    • getPrimitiveItemType

      public ItemType getPrimitiveItemType()
      Description copied from interface: ItemType
      Get the primitive item type corresponding to this item type. For item(), this is Type.ITEM. For node(), it is Type.NODE. For specific node kinds, it is the value representing the node kind, for example Type.ELEMENT. For anyAtomicValue and union types it is Type.ATOMIC_VALUE. For numeric it is Type.NUMBER. For other atomic types it is the primitive type as defined in XML Schema, except that integer, xs:dayTimeDuration, and xs:yearMonthDuration are considered to be primitive types.
      Specified by:
      getPrimitiveItemType in interface ItemType
      Returns:
      the corresponding primitive type

    • getUType

      public UType getUType()
      Description copied from interface: ItemType
      Get the corresponding UType. A UType is a union of primitive item types.
      Specified by:
      getUType in interface ItemType
      Returns:
      the smallest UType that subsumes this item type

    • getAtomizedItemType

      public AtomicType getAtomizedItemType()
      Description copied from interface: ItemType
      Get the item type of the atomic values that will be produced when an item of this type is atomized
      Specified by:
      getAtomizedItemType in interface ItemType
      Returns:
      the best available item type of the atomic values that will be produced when an item of this type is atomized, or null if it is known that atomization will throw an error.

    • isAtomizable

      public boolean isAtomizable(TypeHierarchy th)
      Description copied from interface: ItemType
      Ask whether values of this type are atomizable
      Specified by:
      isAtomizable in interface ItemType
      Parameters:
      th - the type hierarchy cache
      Returns:
      true if some or all instances of this type can be successfully atomized; false if no instances of this type can be atomized

    • getGenre

      public Genre getGenre()
      Description copied from interface: ItemType
      Determine the Genre (top-level classification) of this type
      Specified by:
      getGenre in interface ItemType
      Returns:
      the Genre to which this type belongs, for example node or atomic value

    • getDefaultPriority

      public double getDefaultPriority()
      Get the default priority when this ItemType is used as an XSLT pattern
      Specified by:
      getDefaultPriority in interface ItemType
      Returns:
      the default priority
