Interface XPathContext

    • Method Detail

      • newContext

        XPathContextMajor newContext()
        Construct a new context as a copy of another. The new context is effectively added to the top of a stack, and contains a pointer to the previous context
      • newCleanContext

        XPathContextMajor newCleanContext()
        Construct a new context without copying (used for the context in a function call)
      • newMinorContext

        XPathContextMinor newMinorContext()
        Construct a new minor context. A minor context can only hold new values of the focus (currentIterator) and current output destination.
      • getLocalParameters

        ParameterSet getLocalParameters()
        Get the local (non-tunnel) parameters that were passed to the current function or template
        Returns:
        a ParameterSet containing the local parameters
      • getTunnelParameters

        ParameterSet getTunnelParameters()
        Get the tunnel parameters that were passed to the current function or template. This includes all active tunnel parameters whether the current template uses them or not.
        Returns:
        a ParameterSet containing the tunnel parameters
      • setOrigin

        void setOrigin​(InstructionInfoProvider expr)
        Set the creating expression (for use in diagnostics). The origin is generally set to "this" by the object that creates the new context. It's up to the debugger to determine whether this information is useful. Where possible, the object will be an InstructionInfoProvider, allowing information about the calling instruction to be obtained.
      • setOriginatingConstructType

        void setOriginatingConstructType​(int loc)
        Set the type of creating expression (for use in diagnostics). When a new context is created, either this method or setOrigin(net.sf.saxon.trace.InstructionInfoProvider) should be called.
        Parameters:
        loc - The originating location: the argument must be one of the integer constants in class Location
      • getOriginatingConstructType

        int getOriginatingConstructType()
        Get the type of location from which this context was created.
      • getController

        Controller getController()
        Get the Controller. May return null when running outside XSLT or XQuery
      • getConfiguration

        Configuration getConfiguration()
        Get the Configuration
      • getNamePool

        NamePool getNamePool()
        Get the Name Pool
      • setCaller

        void setCaller​(XPathContext caller)
        Set the calling XPathContext
      • getCaller

        XPathContext getCaller()
        Get the calling XPathContext (the next one down the stack). This will be null if unknown, or if the bottom of the stack has been reached.
      • setCurrentIterator

        void setCurrentIterator​(SequenceIterator iter)
        Set a new sequence iterator.
      • getCurrentIterator

        SequenceIterator getCurrentIterator()
        Get the current iterator. This encapsulates the context item, context position, and context size.
        Returns:
        the current iterator, or null if there is no current iterator (which means the context item, position, and size are undefined).
      • getContextPosition

        int getContextPosition()
                        throws DynamicError
        Get the context position (the position of the context item)
        Returns:
        the context position (starting at one)
        Throws:
        DynamicError - if the context position is undefined
      • getContextItem

        Item getContextItem()
        Get the context item
        Returns:
        the context item, or null if the context item is undefined
      • getLast

        int getLast()
             throws XPathException
        Get the context size (the position of the last item in the current node list)
        Returns:
        the context size
        Throws:
        XPathException - if the context position is undefined
      • isAtLast

        boolean isAtLast()
                  throws XPathException
        Determine whether the context position is the same as the context size that is, whether position()=last()
        Throws:
        XPathException
      • getCollation

        java.util.Comparator getCollation​(java.lang.String name)
                                   throws XPathException
        Get a named collation
        Throws:
        XPathException - if the collation is not recognized
      • getDefaultCollation

        java.util.Comparator getDefaultCollation()
        Get the default collation
      • useLocalParameter

        boolean useLocalParameter​(int fingerprint,
                                  LocalParam binding,
                                  boolean isTunnel)
                           throws XPathException
        Use local parameter. This is called when a local xsl:param element is processed. If a parameter of the relevant name was supplied, it is bound to the xsl:param element. Otherwise the method returns false, so the xsl:param default will be evaluated
        Parameters:
        fingerprint - The fingerprint of the parameter name
        binding - The XSLParam element to bind its value to
        isTunnel - True if a tunnel parameter is required, else false
        Returns:
        true if a parameter of this name was supplied, false if not
        Throws:
        XPathException
      • getStackFrame

        StackFrame getStackFrame()
        Get a reference to the local stack frame for variables. Note that it's the caller's job to make a local copy of this. This is used for creating a Closure containing a retained copy of the variables for delayed evaluation.
        Returns:
        array of variables.
      • evaluateLocalVariable

        ValueRepresentation evaluateLocalVariable​(int slotnumber)
