Method Detail

copy

public Expression copy()

Description copied from class: VariableReference

Create a clone copy of this VariableReference

Specified by:

copy in class VariableReference

Returns:

the cloned copy

setBindingSlot

public void setBindingSlot(int slot)

Set the binding slot to be used. This is the offset within the binding vector of the containing component where the actual target component is to be found. The target template is not held directly in the invocation instruction/expression itself because it can be overridden in a using package.

Specified by:

setBindingSlot in interface ComponentInvocation

Parameters:

slot - the offset in the binding vector of the containing package where the target component can be found.

getBindingSlot

public int getBindingSlot()

Get the binding slot to be used. This is the offset within the binding vector of the containing component where the actual target component is to be found.

Specified by:

getBindingSlot in interface ComponentInvocation

Returns:

the offset in the binding vector of the containing package where the target component can be found.

getSymbolicName

public SymbolicName getSymbolicName()

Get the symbolic name of the component that this invocation references

Specified by:

getSymbolicName in interface ComponentInvocation

Returns:

the symbolic name of the target component

getTarget

public Component getTarget()

evaluateVariable

public Sequence evaluateVariable(XPathContext c)
                          throws XPathException

Evaluate this variable

Overrides:

evaluateVariable in class VariableReference

Parameters:

c - the XPath dynamic context

Returns:

the value of the variable

Throws:

XPathException - if any error occurs
