Interface StaticContext

All Known Implementing Classes:
  ExpressionContext, StandaloneContext

public interface StaticContext

A StaticContext contains the information needed while an expression or pattern is being parsed. The information is also sometimes needed at run-time.

`int` `getFingerprint(java.lang.String qname, boolean useDefault)` Get a fingerprint for a name, using this as the context for namespace resolution
`int` `getLineNumber()` Get the line number of the expression within its containing entity Returns -1 if no line number is available

`java.lang.String` `getSystemId()` Get the System ID of the container of the expression.
`java.lang.String` `getURIForPrefix(java.lang.String prefix)` Get the URI for a prefix, using this Element as the context for namespace resolution

Method Detail

### makeRuntimeContext

    public StaticContext makeRuntimeContext(NamePool pool)

### getSystemId

    public java.lang.String getSystemId()

  Get the System ID of the container of the expression. This is the containing entity (file) and is therefore useful for diagnostics. Use getBaseURI() to get the base URI, which may be different.

### getLineNumber

    public int getLineNumber()

  Get the line number of the expression within its containing entity Returns -1 if no line number is available

### getBaseURI

    public java.lang.String getBaseURI()

  Get the Base URI of the stylesheet element, for resolving any relative URI's used in the expression. Used by the document() function.

### getURIForPrefix

                                     throws XPathException

  Get the URI for a prefix, using this Element as the context for namespace resolution

    `prefix` - The prefix
    `XPathException`

### makeNameCode

    public int makeNameCode(java.lang.String qname,
                            boolean useDefault)
                     throws XPathException

  Make a NameCode, using this Element as the context for namespace resolution

  Parameters:
    `qname` - The name as written, in the form "[prefix:]localname"
    `XPathException`

### getFingerprint

    public int getFingerprint(java.lang.String qname,
                              boolean useDefault)
                       throws XPathException

  Get a fingerprint for a name, using this as the context for namespace resolution

  Parameters:
    `qname` - The name as written, in the form "[prefix:]localname"
  Returns:
    -1 if the name is not already present in the name pool
    `XPathException`

### makeNameTest

    public NameTest makeNameTest(short nodeType,
                                 java.lang.String qname,

                          throws XPathException

  Make a NameTest, using this element as the context for namespace resolution

    `XPathException`

### makeNamespaceTest
