Class CardinalityChecker

    • Method Detail

      • makeCardinalityChecker

        public static Expression makeCardinalityChecker​(Expression sequence,
                                                        int cardinality,
                                                        RoleLocator role)
        Factory method to construct a CardinalityChecker. The method may create an expression that combines the cardinality checking with the functionality of the underlying expression class
        Parameters:
        sequence - the base sequence whose cardinality is to be checked
        cardinality - the required cardinality
        role - information to be used in error reporting
        Returns:
        a new Expression that does the CardinalityChecking (not necessarily a CardinalityChecker)
      • getRequiredCardinality

        public int getRequiredCardinality()
        Get the required cardinality
        Returns:
        the cardinality required by this checker
      • typeCheck

        public Expression typeCheck​(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                                    ItemType contextItemType)
                             throws XPathException
        Type-check the expression
        Overrides:
        typeCheck in class UnaryExpression
        Parameters:
        visitor - an expression visitor
        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:
        XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)
      • 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 class UnaryExpression
        Parameters:
        visitor - an expression visitor
        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 if appropriate to optimize execution
        Throws:
        XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)
      • setErrorCode

        public void setErrorCode​(java.lang.String code)
        Set the error code to be returned (this is used when evaluating the functions such as exactly-one() which have their own error codes)
        Parameters:
        code - the error code to be used
      • getRoleLocator

        public RoleLocator getRoleLocator()
        Get the RoleLocator, which contains diagnostic information for use if the cardinality check fails
        Returns:
        the diagnostic information
      • depictSequenceStart

        public static java.lang.String depictSequenceStart​(SequenceIterator seq,
                                                           int max)
        Show the first couple of items in a sequence in an error message
        Parameters:
        seq - iterator over the sequence
        max - maximum number of items to be shown
        Returns:
        a message display of the contents of the sequence
      • evaluateItem

        public Item evaluateItem​(XPathContext context)
                          throws XPathException
        Evaluate as an Item.
        Specified by:
        evaluateItem in interface EvaluableItem
        Overrides:
        evaluateItem in class Expression
        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
      • process

        public void process​(XPathContext context)
                     throws XPathException
        Process the instruction, without returning any tail calls
        Overrides:
        process in class Expression
        Parameters:
        context - The dynamic context, giving access to the current node, the current variables, etc.

        XPathException
      • getItemType

      • computeSpecialProperties

        public int computeSpecialProperties()
        Get the static properties of this expression (other than its type). The result is bit-signficant. These properties are used for optimizations. In general, if property bit is set, it is true, but if it is unset, the value is unknown.

        computeSpecialProperties in class UnaryExpression
        Returns:
        the special properties, as a bit-significant integer
