Constructor Details

Attribute

public Attribute(Expression attributeName,
 Expression namespace,
 NamespaceResolver nsContext,
 int validationAction,
 SimpleType schemaType,
 int annotation,
 boolean allowNameAsQName)

Construct an Attribute instruction

Parameters:

attributeName - An expression to calculate the attribute name

namespace - An expression to calculate the attribute namespace

nsContext - a NamespaceContext object containing the static namespace context of the stylesheet instruction

validationAction - e.g. validation=strict, lax, strip, preserve

schemaType - Type against which the attribute must be validated. This must not be a namespace-sensitive type; it is the caller's responsibility to check this.

annotation - Integer code identifying the type named in the type attribute

allowNameAsQName -

Method Details

setRejectDuplicates

public void setRejectDuplicates()

Indicate that two attributes with the same name are not acceptable. (This option is set in XQuery, but not in XSLT)

getInstructionNameCode

public int getInstructionNameCode()

Get the name of this instruction

Overrides:

getInstructionNameCode in class Instruction

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)

Description copied from class: Instruction

Get the item type of the items returned by evaluating this instruction

Specified by:

getItemType in interface Expression

Overrides:

getItemType in class Instruction

Parameters:

th -

Returns:

the static item type of the instruction

getCardinality

public int getCardinality()

Description copied from class: ComputedExpression

Determine the static cardinality of the expression. This establishes how many items there will be in the result of the expression, at compile time (i.e., without actually evaluating the result.

Specified by:

getCardinality in interface Expression

Overrides:

getCardinality in class ComputedExpression

Returns:

one of the values Cardinality.ONE_OR_MORE, Cardinality.ZERO_OR_MORE, Cardinality.EXACTLY_ONE, Cardinality.ZERO_OR_ONE, Cardinality.EMPTY. This default implementation returns ZERO_OR_MORE (which effectively gives no information).

computeSpecialProperties

public int computeSpecialProperties()

Get the static properties of this expression (other than its type). The result is bit-signficant. These properties are used for optimizations. In general, if property bit is set, it is true, but if it is unset, the value is unknown.

Overrides:

computeSpecialProperties in class SimpleNodeConstructor

Returns:

a set of flags indicating static properties of this expression

simplify

public Expression simplify(StaticContext env)
                    throws XPathException

Description copied from class: Instruction

Simplify an expression. This performs any static optimization (by rewriting the expression as a different expression). The default implementation does nothing.

Specified by:

simplify in interface Expression

Overrides:

simplify in class SimpleNodeConstructor

Parameters:

env - the static context

Returns:

the simplified expression

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting

localTypeCheck

public void localTypeCheck(StaticContext env,
 ItemType contextItemType)
                    throws XPathException

Specified by:

localTypeCheck in class SimpleNodeConstructor

Throws:

XPathException

iterateSubExpressions

public Iterator iterateSubExpressions()

Get the subexpressions of this expression

Specified by:

iterateSubExpressions in interface Expression

Overrides:

iterateSubExpressions in class SimpleNodeConstructor

Returns:

an iterator over the subexpressions

replaceSubExpression

public boolean replaceSubExpression(Expression original,
 Expression replacement)

Replace one subexpression by a replacement subexpression

Specified by:

replaceSubExpression in interface Container

Overrides:

replaceSubExpression in class SimpleNodeConstructor

Parameters:

original - the original subexpression

replacement - the replacement subexpression

Returns:

true if the original subexpression is found

promoteInst

protected void promoteInst(PromotionOffer offer)
                    throws XPathException

Offer promotion for subexpressions. The offer will be accepted if the subexpression is not dependent on the factors (e.g. the context item) identified in the PromotionOffer. By default the offer is not accepted - this is appropriate in the case of simple expressions such as constant values and variable references where promotion would give no performance advantage. This method is always called at compile time.

Overrides:

promoteInst in class SimpleNodeConstructor

Parameters:

offer - details of the offer, for example the offer to move expressions that don't depend on the context to an outer level in the containing expression

Throws:

XPathException - if any error is detected

checkPermittedContents

public void checkPermittedContents(SchemaType parentType,
 StaticContext env,
 boolean whole)
                            throws XPathException

Check that any elements and attributes constructed or returned by this expression are acceptable in the content model of a given complex type. It's always OK to say yes, since the check will be repeated at run-time. The process of checking element and attribute constructors against the content model of a complex type also registers the type of content expected of those constructors, so the static validation can continue recursively.

Specified by:

checkPermittedContents in interface Expression

Overrides:

checkPermittedContents in class ComputedExpression

Parameters:

parentType - The schema type

env - the static context

whole - true if this expression is expected to make the whole content of the type, false if it is expected to make up only a part

Throws:

XPathException - if the expression doesn't match the required content type

processLeavingTail

public TailCall processLeavingTail(XPathContext context)
                            throws XPathException

Process this instruction

Specified by:

processLeavingTail in interface TailCallReturner

Specified by:

processLeavingTail in class Instruction

Parameters:

context - the dynamic context of the transformation

Returns:

a TailCall to be executed by the caller, always null for this instruction

Throws:

XPathException

evaluateNameCode

public int evaluateNameCode(XPathContext context)
                     throws XPathException,
XPathException

Overrides:

evaluateNameCode in class SimpleNodeConstructor

Throws:

XPathException

display

public void display(int level,
 PrintStream out,
 Configuration config)

Display this instruction as an expression, for diagnostics

Specified by:

display in interface Expression

Overrides:

display in class SimpleNodeConstructor

Parameters:

level - indentation level for this expression

out - Output destination

config -
