      com.saxonica.extra.OptimizerEE

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class OptimizerEE
extends Optimizer

This class doesn't actually do any optimization itself, despite the name. Rather, it is intended to act as a factory for implementation classes that perform optimization, so that the appropriate level of optimization can be selected.

convertToFilterExpression

public FilterExpression convertToFilterExpression(PathExpression pathExp,
                                                  TypeHierarchy th)
                                           throws XPathException

Convert a path expression such as a/b/c[predicate] into a filter expression of the form (a/b/c)[predicate]. This is possible whenever the predicate is non-positional. The conversion is useful in the case where the path expression appears inside a loop, where the predicate depends on the loop variable but a/b/c does not.

Overrides:

convertToFilterExpression in class Optimizer

Parameters:

pathExp - the path expression to be converted

th - the type hierarchy cache

Returns:

the resulting filterexpression if conversion is possible, or null if not

Throws:

XPathException

public int isIndexableFilter(Expression filter)

Test whether a filter predicate is indexable.

Overrides:

isIndexableFilter in class Optimizer

Parameters:

filter - the predicate expression

Returns:

0 if not indexable; +1 if the predicate is in the form expression=value; -1 if it is in the form value=expression

makeIndexedValue

public ValueRepresentation makeIndexedValue(SequenceIterator iter)
                                     throws XPathException

Throws:

XPathException

Overrides:

makeConditionalDocumentSorter in class Optimizer

Parameters:

sorter - an expression that sorts and deduplicates its operand

Returns:

either the original sorter, if no optimization is possible; or a ConditionalSorter which first tests a condition, and performs the sort if the condition is true, or returns the unsorted operand if not. In practice the condition is always a test whether the first item in the path expression contains more than one item
