Constructor Detail

InsertExpression

public InsertExpression(Expression source,
                        Expression target,
                        int position,
                        int constructionMode)
Create an InsertExpression

Parameters:
source - expression denoting the nodes to be inserted
target - expression denoting the insertion point
position - integer code indicating whether to insert before, after, first, last, or into.
constructionMode - one of Validation.PRESERVE or Validation.STRIP
Method Detail

iterateSubExpressions

public Iterator<Expression> iterateSubExpressions()
Get the immediate sub-expressions of this expression. Default implementation returns a zero-length array, appropriate for an expression that has no sub-expressions.

Overrides:
iterateSubExpressions in class Expression
Returns:
an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression

simplify

public Expression simplify(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                    throws XPathException
Simplify an expression. This performs any static optimization (by rewriting the expression as a different expression). The default implementation does nothing.

Overrides:
simplify in class Expression
Parameters:
visitor - an expression visitor
Returns:
the simplified expression
Throws:
XPathException - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting

typeCheck

public Expression typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                            ItemType contextItemType)
                     throws XPathException
Perform type checking of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the second phase of static optimization.

This checks statically that the operands of the expression have the correct type; if necessary it generates code to do run-time type checking or type conversion. A static type error is reported only if execution cannot possibly succeed, that is, if a run-time type error is inevitable. The call may return a modified form of the expression.

This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved to the declaration of the function or variable. However, the types of such functions and variables may not be accurately known if they have not been explicitly declared.

If the implementation returns a value other than "this", then it is required to ensure that the parent pointer and location information in the returned expression have been set up correctly. It should not rely on the caller to do this, although for historical reasons many callers do so.

Overrides:
typeCheck in class Expression
Parameters:
visitor - an expression visitor
contextItemType - 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 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,
                           ItemType contextItemType)
                    throws XPathException
Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the third and final phase of static optimization.

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 Expression
Parameters:
visitor - an expression visitor
contextItemType - 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)

promote

public Expression promote(PromotionOffer offer,
                          Expression parent)
                   throws XPathException
Promote this expression if possible

Overrides:
promote in class Expression
Parameters:
offer - details of the offer, for example the offer to move expressions that don't depend on the context to an outer level in the containing expression
Returns:
if the offer is not accepted, return this expression unchanged. Otherwise return the result of rewriting the expression to promote this subexpression
Throws:
XPathException - if any error is detected

copy

public Expression copy()
Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.

Specified by:
copy in class Expression
Returns:
the copy of the original expression

explain

public void explain(ExpressionPresenter out)
Diagnostic print of expression structure. The abstract expression tree is written to the supplied output destination.

Specified by:
explain in class Expression
Parameters:
out - the expression presenter used to display the structure

evaluatePendingUpdates

public void evaluatePendingUpdates(XPathContext context,
                                   PendingUpdateList pul)
                            throws XPathException
Evaluate an updating expression, adding the results to a Pending Update List. The default implementation of this method, which is used for non-updating expressions, throws an UnsupportedOperationException

Overrides:
evaluatePendingUpdates in class Expression
Parameters:
context - the XPath dynamic evaluation context
pul - the pending update list to which the results should be written
Throws:
XPathException
