Class ItemChecker

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, javax.xml.transform.SourceLocator, Container, Expression, InstructionInfoProvider

    public final class ItemChecker
    extends UnaryExpression
    A ItemChecker implements the item type checking of "treat as": that is, it returns the supplied sequence, checking that all its items are of the correct type

    • Method Detail

      • getRequiredType

        public ItemType getRequiredType()
        Get the required type
      • typeCheck

        public Expression typeCheck​(StaticContext env,
                                    ItemType contextItemType)
                             throws XPathException
        Type-check the expression
        Specified by:
        typeCheck in interface Expression
        Overrides:
        typeCheck in class UnaryExpression
        Parameters:
        env - the static context of the expression
        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:
        StaticError - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)
        XPathException
      • getImplementationMethod

        public int getImplementationMethod()
        An implementation of Expression must provide at least one of the methods evaluateItem(), iterate(), or process(). This method indicates which of these methods is provided. This implementation provides both iterate() and process() methods natively.
        Specified by:
        getImplementationMethod in interface Expression
        Overrides:
        getImplementationMethod in class ComputedExpression
      • evaluateItem

        public Item evaluateItem​(XPathContext context)
                          throws XPathException
        Evaluate as an Item.
        Specified by:
        evaluateItem in interface Expression
        Overrides:
        evaluateItem in class ComputedExpression
        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
        Specified by:
        getItemType in interface Expression
        Overrides:
        getItemType in class UnaryExpression
        Parameters:
        th -
        Returns:
        the item type of the items in the result sequence, insofar as this is known statically.
      • equals

        public boolean equals​(java.lang.Object other)
        Is this expression the same as another expression?
        Overrides:
        equals in class UnaryExpression
      • displayOperator

        protected java.lang.String displayOperator​(Configuration config)
        Give a string representation of the operator for use in diagnostics
        Specified by:
        displayOperator in class UnaryExpression
        Parameters:
        config -
        Returns:
        the operator, as a string
