Constructor Detail

### XPathMatcher

    public XPathMatcher(XPath xpath)

  Constructs an XPath matcher that implements a document fragment handler.

Parameters:
  `xpath` - The xpath.

Method Detail

### isMatched

    public boolean isMatched()

  Returns value of first member of fMatched that is nonzero.

### handleContent

    protected void handleContent(org.apache.xerces.xs.XSTypeDefinition type,
                                 boolean nillable,
                                 java.lang.Object value)

### matched

    protected void matched(java.lang.Object actualValue,
                           boolean isNil)

  This method is called when the XPath handler matches the XPath expression. Subclasses can override this method to provide default handling upon a match.

### startDocumentFragment

    public void startDocumentFragment()

  The start of the document fragment.

### startElement

    public void startElement(org.apache.xerces.xni.QName element,
                             org.apache.xerces.xni.XMLAttributes attributes)

  The start of an element. If the document specifies the start element by using an empty tag, then the startElement method will immediately be followed by the endElement method, with no intervening methods.

  Parameters:
    `element` - The name of the element.
    `attributes` - The element attributes.
  Throws:
    `SAXException` - Thrown by handler to signal an error.

### endElement

    public void endElement(org.apache.xerces.xni.QName element,
                           org.apache.xerces.xs.XSTypeDefinition type,
                           boolean nillable,
                           java.lang.Object value)

  Parameters:
    `element` - name of the element.
    `type` - content type of this element. IOW, the XML schema type of the `value`. Note that this may not be the type declared in the element declaration, but it is "the actual type". For example, if the XML is <foo xsi:type="xs:string">aaa</foo>, this parameter will be "xs:string".
    `nillable` - - nillable true if the element declaration is nillable.
    `value` - - actual value the typed value of the content of this element.

### toString

    public java.lang.String toString()

  Returns a string representation of this object.
