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

Returns:

the optimised Pattern

Throws:

XPathException

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

Specified by:

matches in class Pattern

Parameters:

e - The NodeInfo representing the Element or other node to be tested against the Pattern

c - The context in which the match is to take place. Only relevant if the pattern uses variables.

Returns:

true if the node matches either of the operand patterns

Throws:

XPathException

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
