Constructor Detail

NodeSetComparison


public NodeSetComparison(NodeSetExpression p1,
                         int op,
                         Value p2)
Method Detail

simplify


public Expression simplify()
Simplify an expression
Overrides:
simplify in class Expression
Returns:
the simplified expression

evaluate


public Value evaluate(Context c)
               throws XPathException
Evaluate the expression in a given context
Overrides:
evaluate in class Expression
Parameters:
c - the given context for evaluation
Returns:
a BooleanValue representing the result of the comparison of the two operands

evaluateAsBoolean


public boolean evaluateAsBoolean(Context c)
                          throws XPathException
Evaluate the expression in a given context
Overrides:
evaluateAsBoolean in class Expression
Parameters:
c - the given context for evaluation
Returns:
a boolean representing the result of the numeric comparison of the two operands

getDataType


public int getDataType()
Determine the data type of the expression, if possible
Overrides:
getDataType in class Expression
Returns:
Value.BOOLEAN

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 as Context.VARIABLES and Context.CURRENT_NODE
Overrides:
getDependencies in class Expression

reduce


public Expression reduce(int dependencies,
                         Context context)
                  throws XPathException
Perform a partial evaluation of the expression, by eliminating specified dependencies on the context.
Overrides:
reduce in class Expression
Parameters:
dependencies - The dependencies to be removed
context - The context to be used for the partial evaluation
Returns:
a new expression that does not have any of the specified dependencies

display


public void display(int level)
Diagnostic print of expression structure
Overrides:
display in class Expression
