Class ForExpr

    java.lang.Object
      org.exist.xquery.AbstractExpression
          org.exist.xquery.BindingExpression
              org.exist.xquery.ForExpr

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Expression

public class ForExpr
extends BindingExpression

Represents an XQuery "for" expression.

Fields inherited from interface org.exist.xquery.Expression
`DOT_TEST, EXPRESSION_ID_INVALID, IGNORE_CONTEXT, IN_PREDICATE, IN_UPDATE, IN_WHERE_CLAUSE, NO_CONTEXT_ID, SINGLE_STEP_EXECUTION`

Constructor Summary
`ForExpr(XQueryContext context)`

Method Summary
`void` | `analyze(AnalyzeContextInfo contextInfo, OrderSpec[] orderBy)`
`void` | `dump(ExpressionDumper dumper)` Write a diagnostic dump of the expression to the passed `ExpressionDumper`.
`Sequence` | `eval(Sequence contextSequence, Item contextItem, Sequence resultSequence)` This implementation tries to process the "where" clause in advance, i.e.
`int` | `returnsType()` The static return type of the expression.
`void` | `setPositionalVariable(java.lang.String var)` A "for" expression may have an optional positional variable whose QName can be set via this method.

Constructor Detail

### ForExpr

    public ForExpr(XQueryContext context)

Method Detail

### setPositionalVariable

    public void setPositionalVariable(java.lang.String var)

  A "for" expression may have an optional positional variable whose QName can be set via this method.

  Parameters:
    `var` -

### analyze

    public void analyze(AnalyzeContextInfo contextInfo,
                        OrderSpec[] orderBy)
                 throws XPathException

  Specified by:
    `analyze` in class `BindingExpression`
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### eval

    public Sequence eval(Sequence contextSequence,
                         Item contextItem,
                         Sequence resultSequence)
                  throws XPathException

  This implementation tries to process the "where" clause in advance, i.e. in one single step. This is possible if the input sequence is a node set and the where expression has no dependencies on other variables than those declared in this "for" statement.

  Specified by:
    `eval` in class `BindingExpression`
  Throws:
    `XPathException`
  See Also:
    `Expression.eval(Sequence, Item)`

### dump

    public void dump(ExpressionDumper dumper)

  Description copied from interface: `Expression`
  Write a diagnostic dump of the expression to the passed `ExpressionDumper`.

  Parameters:
    `dumper` - the expression dumper to write to

### toString

    public java.lang.String toString()

### returnsType

    public int returnsType()

  Description copied from interface: `Expression`
  The static return type of the expression. This method should return one of the type constants defined in class `Type`. If the return type cannot be determined statically, return Type.ITEM.

  Specified by:
    `returnsType` in interface `Expression`
  Overrides:
    `returnsType` in class `BindingExpression`
