public final class AnyURIValue
extends StringValue

An XPath value of type xs:anyURI.

This is implemented as a subtype of StringValue even though xs:anyURI is not a subtype of xs:string in the XPath type hierarchy. This enables type promotion from URI to String to happen automatically in most cases where it is appropriate.

This implementation of xs:anyURI allows any string to be contained in the value space. It is possible to validate that the string is a "valid URI" in the sense of XML Schema Part 2 (which refers to the XLink specification and to RFC 2396); however, this validation is optional, and is not carried out by default. In particular, there is no constraint that namespace URIs, collation URIs, and the like should be valid URIs. However, casting from strings to xs:anyURI does invoke validation.

Field Detail

EMPTY_URI

public static final AnyURIValue EMPTY_URI
Constructor Detail

AnyURIValue

public AnyURIValue(CharSequence value)
Constructor

Parameters:
value - the String value. Null is taken as equivalent to "". This constructor does not check that the value is a valid anyURI instance.

AnyURIValue

public AnyURIValue(CharSequence value,
                   AtomicType type)
Constructor for a user-defined subtype of anyURI

Parameters:
value - the String value. Null is taken as equivalent to "".
type - a user-defined subtype of anyURI. It is the caller's responsibility to ensure that this is actually a subtype of anyURI, and that the value conforms to the definition of this type.
Method Detail

copyAsSubType

public AtomicValue copyAsSubType(AtomicType typeLabel)
Create a copy of this atomic value, with a different type label

Overrides:
copyAsSubType in class StringValue
Parameters:
typeLabel - the type label of the new copy. The caller is responsible for checking that the value actually conforms to this type.
Returns:
the copied value

isValidURI

public static boolean isValidURI(CharSequence value)
Check whether a string consititutes a valid URI

Parameters:
value - the string to be tested
Returns:
true if the string is a valid URI

getPrimitiveType

public BuiltInAtomicType getPrimitiveType()
Description copied from class: StringValue
Determine the primitive type of the value. This delivers the same answer as getItemType().getPrimitiveItemType(). The primitive types are the 19 primitive types of XML Schema, plus xs:integer, xs:dayTimeDuration and xs:yearMonthDuration, and xs:untypedAtomic. For external objects, the result is AnyAtomicType.

Overrides:
getPrimitiveType in class StringValue
Returns:
the primitive type

convertPrimitive

public ConversionResult convertPrimitive(BuiltInAtomicType requiredType,
                                         boolean validate,
                                         XPathContext context)
Convert to target data type

Overrides:
convertPrimitive in class StringValue
Parameters:
requiredType - integer code representing the item type required
context - the XPath dynamic evaluation context
validate - true if validation is required. If set to false, the caller guarantees that the value is valid for the target data type, and that further validation is therefore not required. Note that a validation failure may be reported even if validation was not requested.
Returns:
the result of the conversion, or an ErrorValue
