Constructor Detail

EmptyTextNodeRemover

public EmptyTextNodeRemover(Expression p0)

Method Detail

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType()

Determine the data type of the expression, if possible. The default implementation for unary expressions returns the item type of the operand

Overrides:

getItemType in class UnaryExpression

Returns:

the item type of the items in the result sequence, insofar as this is known statically.

computeCardinality

public int computeCardinality()

Description copied from class: UnaryExpression

Determine the static cardinality. Default implementation returns the cardinality of the operand

Overrides:

computeCardinality in class UnaryExpression

Returns:

the computed cardinality, as one of the values StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_ONE, StaticProperty.EXACTLY_ONE, StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ONE_OR_MORE, StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_MORE. May also return StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO if the result is known to be an empty sequence, or StaticProperty.ALLOWS_MANY if if is known to return a sequence of length two or more.

getOperandRole

protected OperandRole getOperandRole()

Description copied from class: UnaryExpression

Get the usage (in terms of streamability analysis) of the single operand

Specified by:

getOperandRole in class UnaryExpression

Returns:

the operand usage

copy

public Expression copy(RebindingMap rebindings)

Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.

Specified by:

copy in class Expression

Parameters:

rebindings -

Returns:

the copy of the original expression

getImplementationMethod

public int getImplementationMethod()

An implementation of Expression must provide at least one of the methods evaluateItem(), iterate(), or process(). This method indicates which of these methods is prefered.

Specified by:

getImplementationMethod in class Expression

Returns:

the implementation method, for example Expression.ITERATE_METHOD or Expression.EVALUATE_METHOD or Expression.PROCESS_METHOD

iterate

public SequenceIterator<?> iterate(XPathContext context)
                            throws XPathException

Return an Iterator to iterate over the values of a sequence. The value of every expression can be regarded as a sequence, so this method is supported for all expressions. This default implementation handles iteration for expressions that return singleton values: for non-singleton expressions, the subclass must provide its own implementation.

Overrides:

iterate in class Expression

Parameters:

context - supplies the context for evaluation

Returns:

a SequenceIterator that can be used to iterate over the result of the expression

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

mapItem

public Item mapItem(Item item)
             throws XPathException

Map an item to another item

Specified by:

mapItem in interface ItemMappingFunction

Parameters:

item - The input item to be mapped.

Returns:

the result of the mapping: maybe null

Throws:

XPathException

getStreamerName

public java.lang.String getStreamerName()

Get the (partial) name of a class that supports streaming of this kind of expression

Overrides:

getStreamerName in class Expression

Returns:

the partial name of a class that can be instantiated to provide streaming support in Saxon-EE, or null if there is no such class

getExpressionName

public java.lang.String getExpressionName()

Description copied from class: Expression

Get a name identifying the kind of expression, in terms meaningful to a user.

Overrides:

getExpressionName in class Expression

Returns:

a name identifying the kind of expression, in terms meaningful to a user. The name will always be in the form of a lexical XML QName, and should match the name used in export() output displaying the expression.
