SingletonNode
Create a node-set containing zero or one nodes- Parameters:
node
- The node to be contained in the node-set, or null if the node-set is to be empty
-
-
Method Details
-
asItem
Return the value in the form of an Item -
process
Process the instruction, without returning any tail calls- Overrides:
process
in classValue
- Parameters:
context
- The dynamic context, giving access to the current node, the current variables, etc.- Throws:
XPathException
-
getItemType
Determine the data type of the items in the expression. This method determines the most precise type that it can, because it is called when testing that the node conforms to a required type.- Overrides:
getItemType
in classValue
- Parameters:
th
- the type hierarchy cache- Returns:
- the most precise possible type of the node.
-
getCardinality
public int getCardinality()Determine the static cardinality- Overrides:
getCardinality
in classValue
- Returns:
- the cardinality
-
getLength
Get the length of the sequence- Overrides:
getLength
in classValue
- Returns:
- the number of items in the sequence
- Throws:
XPathException
-
itemAt
Get the n'th item in the sequence (starting from 0). This is defined for all SequenceValues, but its real benefits come for a SequenceValue stored extensionally (or for a MemoClosure, once all the values have been read)- Specified by:
itemAt
in interfaceGroundedValue
- Overrides:
itemAt
in classValue
- Parameters:
n
- position of the required item, counting from zero.- Returns:
- the n'th item in the sequence, where the first item in the sequence is numbered zero. If n is negative or >= the length of the sequence, returns null.
-
subsequence
Get a subsequence of the value- Specified by:
subsequence
in interfaceGroundedValue
- Parameters:
start
- the index of the first item to be included in the result, counting from zero. A negative value is taken as zero. If the value is beyond the end of the sequence, an empty sequence is returnedlength
- the number of items to be included in the result. Specify Integer.MAX_VALUE to get the subsequence up to the end of the base sequence. If the value is negative, an empty sequence is returned. If the value goes off the end of the sequence, the result returns items up to the end of the sequence- Returns:
- the required subsequence. If min is
-
getNode
Get the node that forms the node-set. Return null if there is none. -
iterate
Return an enumeration of this nodeset value. -
effectiveBooleanValue
public boolean effectiveBooleanValue()Get the effective boolean value- Overrides:
effectiveBooleanValue
in classValue
- Returns:
- the effective boolean value
-
getStringValue
Convert the value to a string, using the serialization rules. For atomic values this is the same as a cast; for sequence values it gives a space-separated list. For QNames and NOTATIONS, or lists containing them, it fails.- Specified by:
getStringValue
in interfaceValueRepresentation
- Overrides:
getStringValue
in classValue
