Class ConditionalSorter

    • Constructor Detail

      • ConditionalSorter

        public ConditionalSorter​(Expression condition,
                                 DocumentSorter sorter)
        Create a conditional document sorter
        Parameters:
        condition - the conditional expression
        sorter - the sorting expression
    • Method Detail

      • getCondition

        public Expression getCondition()
        Get the condition under which the nodes need to be sorted
        Returns:
        the condition (an expression)
      • getDocumentSorter

        public DocumentSorter getDocumentSorter()
        Get the document sorter, which sorts the nodes if the condition is true
        Returns:
        the document sorter
      • 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.
        Overrides:
        getCardinality in class Expression
        Returns:
        one of the values Cardinality.ONE_OR_MORE, Cardinality.ZERO_OR_MORE, Cardinality.EXACTLY_ONE, Cardinality.ZERO_OR_ONE, Cardinality.EMPTY. This default implementation returns ZERO_OR_MORE (which effectively gives no information).
      • computeSpecialProperties

        protected int computeSpecialProperties()
        Compute the special properties of this expression. These properties are denoted by a bit-significant integer, possible values are in class StaticProperty. The "special" properties are properties other than cardinality and dependencies, and most of them relate to properties of node sequences, for example whether the nodes are in document order.
        Overrides:
        computeSpecialProperties in class Expression
        Returns:
        the special properties, as a bit-significant integer
      • 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 class Expression
        Returns:
        the implementation method, for example Expression.ITERATE_METHOD or Expression.EVALUATE_METHOD or Expression.PROCESS_METHOD
      • 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 class Expression
        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 class Expression
        Parameters:
        original - the original subexpression
        replacement - the replacement subexpression
        Returns:
        true if the original subexpression is found
      • copy

        public Expression copy()
        Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.
        Specified by:
        copy in class Expression
        Returns:
        the copy of the original expression
      • 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 class Expression
        Parameters:
        out - the expression presenter used to display the structure
      • 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 class Expression
        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)
      • 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 class Expression
        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
      • 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 interface SequenceIterable
        Overrides:
        iterate in class Expression
        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
