Constructor Detail

Element

public Element(Expression elementName,
               Expression namespace,
               NamespaceResolver nsContext,
               AttributeSet[] useAttributeSets,
               SchemaType schemaType,
               int validation)
Create an instruction that creates a new element node

Parameters:
elementName - Expression that evaluates to produce the name of the element node as a lexical QName
namespace - Expression that evaluates to produce the namespace URI of the element node. Set to null if the namespace is to be deduced from the prefix of the elementName.
nsContext - Saved copy of the static namespace context for the instruction. Can be set to null if namespace is supplied.
useAttributeSets - Array of attribute sets to be expanded
schemaType - The required schema type for the content
Method Detail

simplify

public Expression simplify(StaticContext env)
                    throws XPathException
Description copied from class: InstructionWithChildren
Simplify an expression. This performs any static optimization (by rewriting the expression as a different expression).

Specified by:
simplify in interface Expression
Overrides:
simplify in class InstructionWithChildren
Returns:
the simplified expression
Throws:
XPathException - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting

analyze

public Expression analyze(StaticContext env,
                          ItemType contextItemType)
                   throws XPathException
Description copied from class: InstructionWithChildren
Perform static analysis 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 will only be accurately known if they have been explicitly declared.

Specified by:
analyze in interface Expression
Overrides:
analyze in class InstructionWithChildren
Parameters:
env - the static context of the expression
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)

iterateSubExpressions

public java.util.Iterator iterateSubExpressions()
Description copied from class: InstructionWithChildren
Get the immediate sub-expressions of this expression.

Specified by:
iterateSubExpressions in interface Expression
Overrides:
iterateSubExpressions in class InstructionWithChildren
Returns:
an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression

promoteInst

protected void promoteInst(PromotionOffer offer)
                    throws XPathException
Offer promotion for subexpressions. 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:
promoteInst in class InstructionWithChildren
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
Throws:
XPathException - if any error is detected

getNameCode

protected int getNameCode(XPathContext context)
                   throws XPathException,
                          XPathException
Callback from the superclass ElementCreator to get the nameCode for the element name

Specified by:
getNameCode in class ElementCreator
Parameters:
context - The evaluation context (not used)
Returns:
the name code for the element name
XPathException

outputNamespaceNodes

protected void outputNamespaceNodes(XPathContext context,
                                    Receiver out)
                             throws XPathException
Callback to output namespace nodes for the new element.

Specified by:
outputNamespaceNodes in class ElementCreator
Parameters:
context - The execution context
out - the Receiver where the namespace nodes are to be written
Throws:
XPathException

getInstructionNameCode

public int getInstructionNameCode()
Get the name of this instruction for diagnostic and tracing purposes

Overrides:
getInstructionNameCode in class Instruction

display

public void display(int level,
                    NamePool pool,
                    java.io.PrintStream out)
Display this instruction as an expression, for diagnostics

Parameters:
level - indentation level for this expression
pool - NamePool used to expand any names appearing in the expression
out - Output destination
