Constructor Detail

ParentNodeExpression

public ParentNodeExpression()

Method Detail

getExpressionName

public String getExpressionName()

Get a name identifying the kind of expression, in terms meaningful to a user.

Overrides:

getExpressionName in class Expression

Returns:

a name identifying the kind of expression, in terms meaningful to a user. The name will always be in the form of a lexical XML QName, and should match the name used in explain() output displaying the expression.

noContextMessage

protected String noContextMessage()

Customize the error message on type checking

Specified by:

noContextMessage in class SingleNodeExpression

getNode

public NodeInfo getNode(XPathContext context)
                 throws XPathException

Return the node selected by this SingleNodeExpression

Specified by:

getNode in class SingleNodeExpression

Parameters:

context - The context for the evaluation

Returns:

the parent of the current node defined by the context

Throws:

XPathException

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

addToPathMap

public PathMap.PathMapNodeSet addToPathMap(PathMap pathMap,
                                           PathMap.PathMapNodeSet pathMapNodeSet)

Add a representation of this expression to a PathMap. The PathMap captures a map of the nodes visited by an expression in a source tree.

Overrides:

addToPathMap in class Expression

Parameters:

pathMap - the PathMap to which the expression should be added

pathMapNodeSet -

Returns:

the pathMapNode representing the focus established by this expression, in the case where this expression is the first operand of a path expression or filter expression

equals

public boolean equals(Object other)

Is this expression the same as another expression?

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

get HashCode for comparing two expressions

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

toString

public String toString()

The toString() method for an expression attempts to give a representation of the expression in an XPath-like form, but there is no guarantee that the syntax will actually be true XPath. In the case of XSLT instructions, the toString() method gives an abstracted view of the syntax

Overrides:

toString in class Expression

Returns:

a representation of the expression as a string

explain

public void explain(ExpressionPresenter destination)

Diagnostic print of expression structure. The abstract expression tree is written to the supplied output destination.

Specified by:

explain in class Expression

Parameters:

destination - the expression presenter used to display the structure
