Field Details

TRUE

public static final BooleanValue TRUE

The boolean value TRUE

FALSE

public static final BooleanValue FALSE

The boolean value FALSE

Method Details

get

public static BooleanValue get(boolean value)

Factory method: get a BooleanValue

Parameters:

value - true or false, to determine which boolean value is required

Returns:

the BooleanValue requested

fromString

public static AtomicValue fromString(CharSequence s)

Convert a string to a boolean value, using the XML Schema rules (including whitespace trimming)

Parameters:

s - the input string

Returns:

the relevant BooleanValue if validation succeeds; or an ErrorValue if not.

getBooleanValue

public boolean getBooleanValue()

Get the value

Returns:

true or false, the actual boolean value of this BooleanValue

effectiveBooleanValue

public boolean effectiveBooleanValue(XPathContext context)

Get the effective boolean value of this expression

Specified by:

effectiveBooleanValue in interface Expression

Overrides:

effectiveBooleanValue in class AtomicValue

Parameters:

context - dynamic evaluation context, not used in this implementation

Returns:

the boolean value

convertPrimitive

public AtomicValue convertPrimitive(BuiltInAtomicType requiredType,
 boolean validate,
 XPathContext context)

Convert to target data type

Specified by:

convertPrimitive in class AtomicValue

Parameters:

requiredType - an integer identifying the required atomic type

validate - true if validation is required. If set to false, the caller guarantees that the value is valid for the target data type, and that further validation is therefore not required. Note that a validation failure may be reported even if validation was not requested.

context -

Returns:

an AtomicValue, a value of the required type

getStringValue

public String getStringValue()

Convert to string

Specified by:

getStringValue in interface Item

Specified by:

getStringValue in interface ValueRepresentation

Specified by:

getStringValue in class AtomicValue

Returns:

"true" or "false"

See Also:

• Item.getStringValueCS()

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)

Determine the data type of the expression

Specified by:

getItemType in interface Expression

Overrides:

getItemType in class Value

Parameters:

th -

Returns:

Type.BOOLEAN,

convertToJava

public Object convertToJava(Class target,
 XPathContext context)
                     throws XPathException

Convert to Java object (for passing to external functions)

Overrides:

convertToJava in class Value

Parameters:

target - the Java class to which conversion is required

Returns:

An object of the specified Java class

Throws:

XPathException - if conversion is not possible or fails

compareTo

public int compareTo(Object other)

Compare the value to another boolean value

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable

Parameters:

other - The other boolean value

Returns:

-1 if this one is the lower, 0 if they are equal, +1 if this one is the higher. False is considered to be less than true.

Throws:

ClassCastException - if the other value is not a BooleanValue (the parameter is declared as Object to satisfy the Comparable interface)

equals

public boolean equals(Object other)

Determine whether two boolean values are equal

Overrides:

equals in class Value

Parameters:

other - the value to be compared to this value

Returns:

true if the other value is a boolean value and is equal to this value

Throws:

ClassCastException - if other value is not xs:boolean or derived therefrom

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Get a hash code for comparing two BooleanValues

Overrides:

hashCode in class Value

Returns:

the hash code

toString

public String toString()

Diagnostic display of this value as a string

Overrides:

toString in class AtomicValue

Returns:

a string representation of this value: "true()" or "false()"
