Field Details

TO_STRING_MAPPER

public static AtomicSequenceConverter.ToStringMappingFunction TO_STRING_MAPPER

Constructor Details

AtomicSequenceConverter

public AtomicSequenceConverter(Expression sequence,
 PlainType requiredItemType,
 boolean allConverted)

Constructor

Parameters:

sequence - this must be a sequence of atomic values. This is not checked; a ClassCastException will occur if the precondition is not satisfied.

requiredItemType - the item type to which all items in the sequence should be converted, using the rules for "cast as".

Method Details

makeUntypedSequenceConverter

public static AtomicSequenceConverter makeUntypedSequenceConverter(Configuration config,
 Expression operand,
 PlainType requiredItemType)
                                                            throws XPathException

Create an AtomicSequenceConverter that converts all untypedAtomic values in the input sequence to a specified target type, while leaving items other than untypedAtomic unchanged

Parameters:

config - the Saxon configuration

operand - the expression that delivers the input sequence

requiredItemType - the type to which untypedAtomic values should be cast, which must either be an atomic type or a "plain" union type

Returns:

an AtomicSequenceConverter that performs the required conversion

Throws:

XPathException

makeUntypedSequenceRejector

public static AtomicSequenceConverter makeUntypedSequenceRejector(Configuration config,
 Expression operand,
 PlainType requiredItemType)

allocateConverter

public void allocateConverter(Configuration config)

getConverter

public Converter getConverter()

Get the converter used to convert the items in the sequence

Returns:

the converter. Note that a converter is always allocated during the typeCheck() phase, even if the source type is not known.

setConverter

public void setConverter(Converter converter)

isAllItemsConverted

public boolean isAllItemsConverted()

Ask if all items in the input are converted to the target type

simplify

public Expression simplify(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                    throws XPathException

Simplify an expression

Overrides:

simplify in class UnaryExpression

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

Returns:

the simplified expression

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting

typeCheck

public Expression typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
 ExpressionVisitor.ContextItemType contextItemType)
                     throws XPathException

Type-check the expression

Overrides:

typeCheck in class UnaryExpression

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

contextItemType - the static type of "." at the point where this expression is invoked. The parameter is set to null if it is known statically that the context item will be undefined. If the type of the context item is not known statically, the argument is set to Type.ITEM_TYPE

Returns:

the original expression, rewritten to perform necessary run-time type checks, and to perform other type-related optimizations

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

optimize

public Expression optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
 ExpressionVisitor.ContextItemType contextItemType)
                    throws XPathException

Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions.

Overrides:

optimize in class UnaryExpression

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

contextItemType - the static type of "." at the point where this expression is invoked. The parameter is set to null if it is known statically that the context item will be undefined. If the type of the context item is not known statically, the argument is set to Type.ITEM_TYPE

Returns:

the original expression, rewritten if appropriate to optimize execution

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

computeSpecialProperties

public int computeSpecialProperties()

Determine the special properties of this expression

Overrides:

computeSpecialProperties in class UnaryExpression

Returns:

StaticProperty.NON_CREATIVE.

copy

public Expression copy()

Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.

Specified by:

copy in class Expression

Returns:

the copy of the original expression

iterate

public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context)
                         throws XPathException

Iterate over the sequence of values

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

evaluateItem

public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                  throws XPathException

Evaluate as an Item. This should only be called if the AtomicSequenceConverter has cardinality zero-or-one

Overrides:

evaluateItem in class Expression

Parameters:

context - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated

Returns:

the node or atomic value that results from evaluating the expression; or null to indicate that the result is an empty sequence

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)

Determine the data type of the items returned by the expression, if possible

Overrides:

getItemType in class UnaryExpression

Parameters:

th - the type hierarchy cache

Returns:

a value such as Type.STRING, Type.BOOLEAN, Type.NUMBER, Type.NODE, or Type.ITEM (meaning not known in advance)

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

equals
