public LocationPathPattern()
Method Detail

addFilter


public void addFilter(Expression filter)
Add a filter to the pattern (while under construction)
Parameters:
filter - The predicate (a boolean expression or numeric expression) to be added

simplify


public Pattern simplify()
                 throws XPathException
Simplify the pattern: perform any context-independent optimisations
Overrides:
simplify in class Pattern
Following copied from class: com.icl.saxon.pattern.Pattern
Returns:
the optimised Pattern

matchesX


public boolean matchesX(NodeInfo node,
                        Context context)
                 throws XPathException
Determine whether the pattern matches a given node.
Parameters:
node - the node to be tested
Returns:
true if the pattern matches, else false

matches


public boolean matches(NodeInfo node,
                       Context context)
                throws XPathException
Description copied from class: Pattern
Determine whether this Pattern matches the given Node
Overrides:
matches in class Pattern
Following copied from class: com.icl.saxon.pattern.Pattern
Parameters:
node - The NodeInfo representing the Element or other node to be tested against the Pattern
context - The context in which the match is to take place. Only relevant if the pattern uses variables.
Returns:
true if the node matches the Pattern, false otherwise

getNodeType


public short getNodeType()
Determine the types of nodes to which this pattern applies. Used for optimisation. For patterns that match nodes of several types, return Node.NODE
Overrides:
getNodeType in class Pattern
Returns:
the type of node matched by this pattern. e.g. Node.ELEMENT or Node.TEXT

getFingerprint


public int getFingerprint()
Determine the fingerprint of nodes to which this pattern applies. Used for optimisation.
Overrides:
getFingerprint in class Pattern
Returns:
the fingerprint of nodes matched by this pattern.

isRelative


public boolean isRelative()
                   throws XPathException
Determine if the pattern uses positional filters
Returns:
true if there is a numeric filter in the pattern, or one that uses the position() or last() functions
