public class PatternSponsor extends Expression
The PatternSponsor class allows a Pattern to be treated like an expression. Although patterns are not evaluated at run-time in the same way as expressions, they need to be manipulated in much the same way as expressions at compile time: for example variables need to be bound, dependencies need to be analyzed, and so on. This is especially true of patterns appearing in the xsl:number and xsl:for-each-group instructions (less so for the more common match patterns in xsl:template).This class implements the Expression interface, so that an Expression can have a PatternSponsor as a subexpression; it wraps a Pattern.
A Pattern is treated as a boolean expression that returns true if the pattern matches the context node. However, it is not currently evaluated in that way.

PatternSponsor
public PatternSponsor(Pattern pattern)
Create a sponsor expression for a pattern- Parameters:
pattern
- the pattern being wrapped
-
-
Method Detail
-
getPattern
public Pattern getPattern()
Get the wrapped pattern- Returns:
- the wrapped pattern
-
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 directly. The other methods will always be available indirectly, using an implementation that relies on one of the other methods.- Overrides:
getImplementationMethod
in classExpression
- Returns:
- the implementation method, for example
Expression.ITERATE_METHOD
orExpression.EVALUATE_METHOD
orExpression.PROCESS_METHOD
-
simplify
public Expression simplify(ExpressionVisitor visitor) throws XPathException
Simplify an expression. This performs any static optimization (by rewriting the expression as a different expression). The default implementation does nothing.- Overrides:
simplify
in classExpression
- Parameters:
visitor
- an expression visitor- Returns:
- the simplified expression
- Throws:
XPathException
- if an error is discovered during expression rewriting
-
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 classExpression
- Parameters:
visitor
- an expression 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)
-
typeCheck
public Expression typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor, ItemType contextItemType) throws XPathException
Perform type checking of an expression and its subexpressions.This checks statically that the operands of the expression have the correct type; if necessary it generates code to do run-time type checking or type conversion. A static type error is reported only if execution cannot possibly succeed, that is, if a run-time type error is inevitable. The call may return a modified form of the expression.
This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved to the declaration of the function or variable. However, the types of such functions and variables may not be accurately known if they have not been explicitly declared.
- Overrides:
typeCheck
in classExpression
- Parameters:
visitor
- an expression 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 to perform necessary run-time type checks, and to perform other type-related optimizations
- Throws:
XPathException
- if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)
-
computeCardinality
protected int computeCardinality()
Description copied from class:Expression
Compute the static cardinality of this expression- Specified by:
computeCardinality
in classExpression
- 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
public Expression copy()
Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.- Specified by:
copy
in classExpression
- Returns:
- the copy of the original expression
-
promote
public Expression promote(PromotionOffer offer) throws XPathException
Offer promotion for this subexpression. The offer will be accepted if the subexpression is not dependent on the factors (e.g. the context item) identified in the PromotionOffer. By default the offer is not accepted - this is appropriate in the case of simple expressions such as constant values and variable references where promotion would give no performance advantage. This method is always called at compile time.- Overrides:
promote
in classExpression
- 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
-
hasLoopingSubexpression
public boolean hasLoopingSubexpression(Expression child)
Treat all subexpressions as being evaluated repeatedly- Overrides:
hasLoopingSubexpression
in classExpression
- Parameters:
child
-- Returns:
-
getCardinality
public int getCardinality()
Determine the static cardinality of the expression. This establishes how many items there will be in the result of the expression, at compile time (i.e., without actually evaluating the result.
This method should always return a result, though it may be the best approximation that is available at the time.
- Overrides:
getCardinality
in classExpression
- Returns:
- one of the values
StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ONE
,StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_MORE
,StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_ONE
,StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ONE_OR_MORE
,StaticProperty.EMPTY
.
-
getItemType
public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)
Determine the data type of the expression, if possible. All expression return sequences, in general; this method determines the type of the items within the sequence, assuming that (a) this is known in advance, and (b) it is the same for all items in the sequence.This method should always return a result, though it may be the best approximation that is available at the time.
- Specified by:
getItemType
in classExpression
- Parameters:
th
- the type hierarchy cache- Returns:
- a value such as Type.STRING, Type.BOOLEAN, Type.NUMBER, Type.NODE, or Type.ITEM (meaning not known at compile time)
-
getDependencies
public int getDependencies()
Determine which aspects of the context the expression depends on. The result is a bitwise-or'ed value composed from constants such asStaticProperty.DEPENDS_ON_CONTEXT_ITEM
andStaticProperty.DEPENDS_ON_CURRENT_ITEM
. The default implementation combines the intrinsic dependencies of this expression with the dependencies of the subexpressions, computed recursively. This is overridden for expressions such as FilterExpression where a subexpression's dependencies are not necessarily inherited by the parent expression.- Overrides:
getDependencies
in classExpression
- Returns:
- a set of bit-significant flags identifying the dependencies of the expression
-
iterateSubExpressions
public java.util.Iterator iterateSubExpressions()
Get the immediate sub-expressions of this expression. Default implementation returns a zero-length array, appropriate for an expression that has no sub-expressions.- Overrides:
iterateSubExpressions
in classExpression
- Returns:
- an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression
-
replaceSubExpression
public boolean replaceSubExpression(Expression original, Expression replacement)
Replace one subexpression by a replacement subexpression- Overrides:
replaceSubExpression
in classExpression
- Parameters:
original
- the original subexpressionreplacement
- the replacement subexpression- Returns:
- true if the original subexpression is found
-
getContainer
public Container getContainer()
Get the container that immediately contains this expression. This method returns null for an outermost expression; it also return null in the case of literal values. For an XPath expression occurring within an XSLT stylesheet, this method returns the XSLT instruction containing the XPath expression.- Overrides:
getContainer
in classExpression
- Returns:
- the expression that contains this expression, if known; return null if there is no containing expression or if the containing expression is unknown.
-
evaluateItem
public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context) throws XPathException
Evaluate an expression as a single item. This always returns either a single Item or null (denoting the empty sequence). No conversion is done. This method should not be used unless the static type of the expression is a subtype of "item" or "item?": that is, it should not be called if the expression may return a sequence. There is no guarantee that this condition will be detected.- 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
-
iterate
public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context) throws XPathException
Return an Iterator to iterate over the values of a sequence. The value of every expression can be regarded as a sequence, so this method is supported for all expressions. This default implementation handles iteration for expressions that return singleton values: for non-singleton expressions, the subclass must provide its own implementation.- Specified by:
iterate
in interfaceSequenceIterable
- Overrides:
iterate
in classExpression
- Parameters:
context
- supplies the context for evaluation- Returns:
- a SequenceIterator that can be used to iterate over the result of the expression
- Throws:
XPathException
- if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression
-
effectiveBooleanValue
public boolean effectiveBooleanValue(XPathContext context) throws XPathException
Get the effective boolean value of the expression. This returns false if the value is the empty sequence, a zero-length string, a number equal to zero, or the boolean false. Otherwise it returns true.- Overrides:
effectiveBooleanValue
in classExpression
- Parameters:
context
- The context in which the expression is to be evaluated- Returns:
- the effective boolean value
- Throws:
XPathException
- if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression
-
evaluateAsString
public java.lang.CharSequence evaluateAsString(XPathContext context) throws XPathException
Evaluate an expression as a String. This function must only be called in contexts where it is known that the expression will return a single string (or where an empty sequence is to be treated as a zero-length string). Implementations should not attempt to convert the result to a string, other than converting () to "". This method is used mainly to evaluate expressions produced by compiling an attribute value template.- Overrides:
evaluateAsString
in classExpression
- Parameters:
context
- The context in which the expression is to be evaluated- Returns:
- the value of the expression, evaluated in the current context. The expression must return a string or (); if the value of the expression is (), this method returns "".
- Throws:
XPathException
- if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expressionjava.lang.ClassCastException
- if the result type of the expression is not xs:string?
-
process
public void process(XPathContext context) throws XPathException
Process the instruction, without returning any tail calls- Overrides:
process
in classExpression
- Parameters:
context
- The dynamic context, giving access to the current node, the current variables, etc.- Throws:
XPathException

explain
public void explain(ExpressionPresenter out)
Diagnostic print of expression structure. The abstract expression tree is written to the supplied output destination.- Specified by:
explain
in classExpression
- Parameters:
out

checkPermittedContents
public void checkPermittedContents(SchemaType parentType, StaticContext env, boolean whole) throws XPathException
Check statically that the results of the expression are capable of constructing the content of a given schema type.- Overrides:
checkPermittedContents
in classExpression
- Parameters:
parentType
- The schema typeenv
- the static contextwhole
- true if this expression is expected to make the whole content of the type, false if it is expected to make up only a part- Throws:
XPathException
- if the expression doesn't match the required content type
