public class LiteralResultElement
extends StyleElement

This class represents a literal result element in the style sheet (typically an HTML element to be output).
It is also used to represent unknown top-level elements, which are ignored.

Constructor Detail

### LiteralResultElement

    public LiteralResultElement()

Method Detail

### mayContainSequenceConstructor

    public boolean mayContainSequenceConstructor()

  Determine whether this type of element is allowed to contain a template-body

  Overrides:
    `mayContainSequenceConstructor` in class `StyleElement`
  Returns:
    true: yes, it may contain a template-body

### isInstruction

    public boolean isInstruction()

  Specify that this is an instruction

  Overrides:
    `isInstruction` in class `StyleElement`

### prepareAttributes

    public void prepareAttributes()
                           throws XPathException

  Process the attribute list

  Specified by:
    `prepareAttributes` in class `StyleElement`
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### validate

    public void validate()
                  throws XPathException

  Validate that this node is OK

  Overrides:
    `validate` in class `StyleElement`
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### validateChildren

    protected void validateChildren()
                             throws XPathException

  Validate the children of this node, recursively. Overridden for top-level data elements.

  Overrides:
    `validateChildren` in class `StyleElement`
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### compile

    public Expression compile(Executable exec)
                       throws XPathException

  Process the literal result element by copying it to the result tree

  Specified by:
    `compile` in class `StyleElement`
  Returns:
    either a ComputedExpression, or null. The value null is returned when compiling an instruction that returns a no-op, or when compiling a top-level object such as an xsl:template that compiles into something other than an instruction.
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### makeStylesheet

    public DocumentImpl makeStylesheet(PreparedStylesheet pss,
                                       StyleNodeFactory nodeFactory)
                                throws XPathException

  Make a top-level literal result element into a stylesheet. This implements the "Literal Result Element As Stylesheet" facility.

  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### getConstructType

    public int getConstructType()

  Get the type of construct. This will be a constant in class `Location`. This method is part of the `InstructionInfo` interface

  Specified by:
    `getConstructType` in interface `InstructionInfo`
  Overrides:
    `getConstructType` in class `StyleElement`

### getObjectNameCode

    public int getObjectNameCode()

  Get a name identifying the object of the expression, for example a function name, template name, variable name, key name, element name, etc. This is used only where the name is known statically. If there is no name, the value will be -1.

  Specified by:
    `getObjectNameCode` in interface `InstructionInfo`
  Overrides:
    `getObjectNameCode` in class `StyleElement`

### getProperty

    public java.lang.Object getProperty(java.lang.String name)

  Get the value of a particular property of the instruction. This is part of the `InstructionInfo` interface for run-time tracing and debugging. The properties available include all the attributes of the source instruction (named by the attribute name): these are all provided as string values.

  Specified by:
    `getProperty` in interface `InstructionInfo`
  Overrides:
    `getProperty` in class `StyleElement`
  Parameters:
    `name` - The name of the required property
  Returns:
    The value of the requested property, or null if the property is not available
