public class XQueryExpression extends Object implements Container
Various methods are provided for evaluating the query, with different options for delivery of the results.

Parameters: exp an expression to be wrapped as an XQueryExpression exec the executable mainModule the static context of the main module config the configuration
Throws: XPathException if an error occurs
Parameters: env Provides the dynamic query evaluation context
Returns: The results of the expression, as a List. The List represents the sequence
of items returned by the expression. Each item in the list will either be an
object representing a node, or an object representing an atomic value.
For the types of Java object that may be returned, see the description of the
evaluate
method
of class XPathProcessor
Parameters: env Provides the dynamic query evaluation context
Returns: The first item in the sequence returned by the expression. If the expression
returns an empty sequence, this method returns null. Otherwise, it returns the first
item in the result sequence, represented as a Java object using the same mapping as for
the evaluate
method
Parameters: out an ExpressionPresenter to which the XML representation of the compiled query will be sent
Warning: The return value from the method is intended only as an approximation for the sake of error reporting; it is not intended to provide sufficient information to edit the character content of the original XML document.
The return value is an approximation of the column number in the document entity or external parsed entity where the markup that triggered the event appears.
Returns: The column number, or -1 if none is available.
See Also: XQueryExpression
Returns: 0 for a temporary container created during parsing; 1 for a container that operates at the level of an XPath expression; 2 for a container at the level of a global function or template
Returns: the underlying expression
Changed in Saxon 9.0 to return an array of StructuredQName objects rather than integer fingerprints.
Returns: an array of StructuredQName objects, representing the names of external variables defined in the query
Warning: The return value from the method is intended only as an approximation for the sake of error reporting; it is not intended to provide sufficient information to edit the character content of the original XML document.
The return value is an approximation of the line number in the document entity or external parsed entity where the markup that triggered the event appears.
Returns: The line number, or -1 if none is available.
See Also: XQueryExpression
Returns: the path map (which is constructed if this has not already been done)
The return value is the public identifier of the document entity or of the external parsed entity in which the markup that triggered the event appears.
Returns: A string containing the public identifier, or null if none is available.
See Also: XQueryExpression
Returns: the stack frame map
Returns: the QueryModule object representing the static context of the main module of the query. This is available for inspection, but must not be modified or reused by the application.
The return value is the system identifier of the document entity or of the external parsed entity in which the markup that triggered the event appears.
If the system identifier is a URL, the parser must resolve it fully before passing it to the application.
Returns: A string containing the system identifier, or null if none is available.
See Also: XQueryExpression
Returns: true if document projection is allowed
Returns: true if the body of the query is an updating expression (as defined by the XQuery Update specification). Note that a query can use Update syntax (notably the copy-modify syntax) without being an updating expression.
Parameters: controller The Controller used to run the query dynamicEnv the XQuery dynamic context for evaluating the query
Returns: an EventIterator representing the results of the query as a sequence of events
To get the results of the query in the form of an XML document in which each item is wrapped by an element indicating its type, use:
QueryResult.wrap(iterator(env))
To serialize the results to a file, use the QueryResult.serialize() method.
Parameters: env Provides the dynamic query evaluation context
Returns: an iterator over the results of the query. The class SequenceIterator is modeled on the standard Java Iterator class, but has extra functionality and can throw exceptions when errors occur.
Throws: XPathException if a dynamic error occurs in evaluating the query. Some dynamic errors will not be reported by this method, but will only be reported when the individual items of the result are accessed using the returned iterator.
Returns: a newly constructed Controller
For maximum effect this method should be used when lazyConstructionMode has been set in the Configuration.
Note: this method usually has very similar performance to the XQueryExpression method (which does the same thing), but sometimes it is significantly slower. Therefore, the run() method is preferred.
Parameters: dynamicEnv the dynamic context for query evaluation destination the destination of the query results outputProperties the serialization parameters
See Also: Configuration
Parameters: env the dynamic query context result the destination for the results of the query. The query is effectively wrapped in a document{} constructor, so that the items in the result are concatenated to form a single document; this is then written to the requested Result destination, which may be (for example) a DOMResult, a SAXResult, or a StreamResult outputProperties Supplies serialization properties, in JAXP format, if the result is to be serialized. This parameter can be defaulted to null.
Throws: XPathException if the query fails.
Parameters: dynamicEnv the dynamic context for query execution
Returns: a set of nodes representing the roots of trees that have been modified as a result
of executing the update. Note that this method will never modify persistent data on disk; it returns
the root nodes of the affected documents (which will often be document nodes whose document-uri can
be ascertained), and it is the caller's responsibility to decide what to do with them.
On completion of this method it is generally unsafe to rely on the contents or relationships
of NodeInfo objects that were obtained before the updating query was run. Such objects may or may not
reflect the results of the update operations. This is especially true in the case of nodes that
are part of a subtree that has been deleted (detached from its parent). Instead, the new updated
tree should be accessed by navigation from the root nodes returned by this method.
Throws: XPathException if evaluation of the update query fails, or it this is not an updating query
A node is eligible to be written back to disk if it is present in the document pool, which generally means that it was originally read using the doc() or collection() function.
On completion of this method it is generally unsafe to rely on the contents or relationships of NodeInfo objects that were obtained before the updating query was run. Such objects may or may not reflect the results of the update operations. This is especially true in the case of nodes that are part of a subtree that has been deleted (detached from its parent). Instead, the new updated tree should be accessed by navigation from the root nodes returned by this method.
If one or more eligible updated nodes cannot be written back to disk, perhaps because the URI identifies a non-updatable location, then an exception is thrown. In this case it is undefined
Parameters: dynamicEnv the dynamic context for query execution
Throws: XPathException if evaluation of the update query fails, or it this is not an updating query
Parameters: allowed true if projection is allowed
Returns: true if the context item is referenced either in the query body or in the initializer of any global variable
