Method Details

optimize
public Expression optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor, ItemType contextItemType) throws XPathException Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions.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.
- Overrides:
optimize
in classUnaryExpression
- Parameters:
visitor
- an expresion visitorcontextItemType
- 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 toType.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)
-
promote
Promote this expression if possible- Overrides:
promote
in classUnaryExpression
- Parameters:
offer
- details of the offer, for example the offer to move expressions that don't depend on the context to an outer level in the containing expression- Returns:
- if the offer is not accepted, return this expression unchanged. Otherwise return the result of rewriting the expression to promote this subexpression
- Throws:
XPathException
- if any error is detected
-
computeCardinality
public int computeCardinality()Get the static cardinality- Overrides:
computeCardinality
in classUnaryExpression
- Returns:
- the computed cardinality, as one of the values
StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_ONE
,StaticProperty.EXACTLY_ONE
,StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ONE_OR_MORE
,StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_MORE
-
copy
Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.- Specified by:
copy
in classExpression
- Returns:
- the copy of the original expression
-
evaluateItem
Evaluate the expression- Specified by:
evaluateItem
in interfaceEvaluableItem
- Overrides:
evaluateItem
in classExpression
- 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
-
displayExpressionName
Description copied from class:UnaryExpression
Return the element name to use in the expression tree- Overrides:
displayExpressionName
in classUnaryExpression
