Package org.jaxen.expr
Class PredicateSet
java.lang.Object
org.jaxen.expr.PredicateSet
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
Represents the collection of predicates that follow the node-test in a location path.
There is no rule that the same predicate may not appear twice in an XPath expression, nor does this class enforce any such rule. This is implemented more as a list than a set. However, adding the swme predicate twice should have no effect on the final result other than slowing it down.

Method Details
-
addPredicate
Add a predicate to the set.- Parameters:
predicate
- the predicate to be inserted
-
getPredicates
Returns the list containing the predicates. This list is live, not a copy.- Returns:
- a live list of predicates
-
simplify
public void simplify()Simplify each of the predicates in the list. -
getText
Returns the XPath string containing each of the predicates.- Returns:
- the XPath string containing each of the predicates
-
evaluateAsBoolean
protected boolean evaluateAsBoolean(List contextNodeSet, ContextSupport support) throws JaxenException Returns true if any of the supplied nodes satisfy all the predicates in the set. Returns false if none of the supplied nodes matches all the predicates in the set. Returns false if the node-set is empty.
- Parameters:
contextNodeSet
- the nodes to test against these predicatessupport
- ????- Returns:
- true if any node in the contextNodeSet matches all the predicates
- Throws:
JaxenException
-
evaluatePredicates
protected List evaluatePredicates(List contextNodeSet, ContextSupport support) throws JaxenException Returns all of the supplied nodes that satisfy all the predicates in the set.
- Parameters:
contextNodeSet
- the nodes to test against these predicatessupport
- ????- Returns:
- all the nodes that match each of the predicates
- Throws:
JaxenException
-
applyPredicate
public List applyPredicate(Predicate predicate, List nodes2Filter, ContextSupport support) throws JaxenException - Throws:
JaxenException
