public abstract class SingleNodeExpression extends Expression
Method Summary | |
---|---|
int | computeCardinality()
Specify that the expression returns a singleton |
int | computeSpecialProperties() |
boolean | effectiveBooleanValue(XPathContext context) |
Item | evaluateItem(XPathContext context) |
int | getIntrinsicDependencies()
Determine which aspects of the context the expression depends on. |
ItemType | getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)
Determine the data type of the items returned by this expression |
abstract NodeInfo | getNode(XPathContext context)
Get the single node to which this expression refers. |
SequenceIterator | iterate(XPathContext context)
Evaluate the expression in a given context to return an iterator |
protected abstract String | noContextMessage()
Customize the error message on type checking |
Expression | optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor, ItemType contextItemType)
Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions.
|
Expression | typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor, ItemType contextItemType)
Type-check the expression. |
Parameters: th the type hierarchy cache
Returns: Type.NODE
Parameters: context the evaluation context
This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved to the declaration of the function or variable, and after all type checking has been done.
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 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)
