### RestrictedStringValue

    public RestrictedStringValue()

Method Detail

### makeRestrictedString

    public static AtomicValue makeRestrictedString(java.lang.CharSequence value,
                                                   int type,
                                                   boolean validate)

  Factory method to create a restricted string value from a string

  Parameters:
    `value` - the String value. Null is taken as equivalent to "".
    `validate` - true if validation is required, false if the caller already knows that the value is valid
  Returns:
    either the required RestrictedStringValue if the value is valid, or an ErrorValue encapsulating the error message if not.

### getItemType

    public ItemType getItemType()

  Return the type of the expression

  Specified by:
    `getItemType` in interface `Expression`
  Overrides:
    `getItemType` in class `StringValue`
  Returns:
    Type.STRING (always)

### convertPrimitive

    public AtomicValue convertPrimitive(BuiltInAtomicType requiredType,
                                        boolean validate)

  Convert to target data type

  Overrides:
    `convertPrimitive` in class `StringValue`
  Parameters:
    `requiredType` - an integer identifying the required atomic type
    `validate` - true if validation is required. If set to false, the caller guarantees that the value is valid for the target data type, and that further validation is therefore not required. Note that a validation failure may be reported even if validation was not requested.
  Returns:
    an AtomicValue, a value of the required type; or an ErrorValue

### toString

    public java.lang.String toString()

  Description copied from class: `AtomicValue`
  Get string value. In general toString() for an atomic value displays the value as it would be written in XPath: that is, as a literal if available, or as a call on a constructor function otherwise.

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `StringValue`
