Class DefaultNameStep

java.lang.Object

org.jaxen.expr.DefaultStep

org.jaxen.expr.DefaultNameStep

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, NameStep, Predicated, Step

public class DefaultNameStep
extends DefaultStep
implements NameStep

Expression object that represents any flavor of name-test steps within an XPath.

This includes simple steps, such as "foo", non-default-axis steps, such as "following-sibling::foo" or "@foo", and namespace-aware steps, such as "foo:bar".

DefaultNameStep

public DefaultNameStep(IterableAxis axis,
 String prefix,
 String localName,
 PredicateSet predicateSet)

Constructor.

Parameters:

axis - the axis to work through

prefix - the name prefix

localName - the local name

predicateSet - the set of predicates

Method Details

getPrefix

public String getPrefix()

Gets the namespace prefix.

Specified by:

getPrefix in interface NameStep

Returns:

the prefix

getLocalName

public String getLocalName()

Gets the local name.

Specified by:

getLocalName in interface NameStep

Returns:

the local name

isMatchesAnyName

public boolean isMatchesAnyName()

Does this step match any name? (i.e. Is it '*'?)

Returns:

true if it matches any name

getText

public String getText()

Gets the step as a fully defined XPath.

Specified by:

getText in interface Step

Overrides:

getText in class DefaultStep

Returns:

the full XPath for this step

evaluate

public List evaluate(Context context)
              throws JaxenException

Evaluate the context node set to find the new node set.

This method overrides the version in DefaultStep for performance.

Specified by:

evaluate in interface Step

Overrides:

evaluate in class DefaultStep

Parameters:

context - the node in context of its position in the document

Returns:

a list of matching nodes

Throws:

JaxenException

matches

public boolean matches(Object node,
 ContextSupport contextSupport)
                throws JaxenException

Checks whether the node matches this step.

Specified by:

matches in interface Step

Parameters:

node - the node to check

contextSupport - the context support

Returns:

true if matches

Throws:

JaxenException

toString

public String toString()

Returns a full information debugging string.

Overrides:

toString in class DefaultStep

Returns:

a debugging string
