Field Detail

### p1

    protected Pattern p1

### p2

    protected Pattern p2

Constructor Detail

### UnionPattern

    public UnionPattern(Pattern p1,
                        Pattern p2)

  Constructor
  Parameters:
    `p1` - the left-hand operand
    `p2` - the right-hand operand

Method Detail

### simplify

    public Pattern simplify()
                     throws XPathException

  Simplify the pattern: perform any context-independent optimisations
  Overrides:
    `simplify` in class `Pattern`
  Following copied from class: `com.icl.saxon.pattern.Pattern`
  Returns:
    the optimised Pattern

### setOriginalText

    public void setOriginalText(java.lang.String pattern)

  Set the original text
  Overrides:
    `setOriginalText` in class `Pattern`

### matches

    public boolean matches(NodeInfo e,
                           Context c)
                    throws XPathException

  Determine if the supplied node matches the pattern
  Overrides:
    `matches` in class `Pattern`
  Returns:
    true if the node matches either of the operand patterns

### getNodeType

    public short getNodeType()

  Determine the types of nodes to which this pattern applies. Used for optimisation. For patterns that match nodes of several types, return Node.NODE
  Overrides:
    `getNodeType` in class `Pattern`
  Returns:
    the type of node matched by this pattern. e.g. Node.ELEMENT or Node.TEXT

### getLHS

    public Pattern getLHS()

  Get the LHS of the union

### getRHS

    public Pattern getRHS()

  Get the RHS of the union
