All Implemented Interfaces:

public class CombinedNodeTest
extends NodeTest

A CombinedNodeTest combines two nodetests using one of the operators union (=or), intersect (=and), difference (= "and not"). This arises when optimizing a union (etc) of two path expressions using the same axis. A CombinedNodeTest is also used to support constructs such as element(N,T), which can be expressed as (element(N,*) AND element(*,T))

`int` `getNodeKindMask()` Get a mask indicating which kinds of nodes this NodeTest can match.
`int` `getPrimitiveType()` Get the basic kind of object that this ItemType matches: for a NodeTest, this is the kind of node, or Type.Node if it matches different kinds of nodes.
`java.util.Set` `getRequiredNodeNames()` Get the set of node names allowed by this NodeTest.
`int` `hashCode()` Returns a hash code value for the object.
`boolean` `matches(int nodeType, int fingerprint, int annotation)` Test whether this node test is satisfied by a given node.
`boolean` `matches(NodeInfo node)` Test whether this node test is satisfied by a given node.

Constructor Detail

### CombinedNodeTest

    public CombinedNodeTest(NodeTest nt1,
                            int operator,
                            NodeTest nt2)

Method Detail

### matches

    public boolean matches(int nodeType,
                           int fingerprint,
                           int annotation)

  Test whether this node test is satisfied by a given node.

  Specified by:
    `matches` in class `NodeTest`
  Parameters:
    `nodeType` - The type of node to be matched
    `fingerprint` - identifies the expanded name of the node to be matched. The value should be -1 for a node with no name.
    `annotation` - The actual content type of the node

### matches

    public boolean matches(NodeInfo node)

  Test whether this node test is satisfied by a given node. This alternative method is used in the case of nodes where calculating the fingerprint is expensive, for example DOM or JDOM nodes.

  Specified by:
    `matches` in class `NodeTest`
  Parameters:
    `node` - the node to be matched

### toString

    public java.lang.String toString(NamePool pool)

  Description copied from class: `NodeTest`
  Display the type descriptor for diagnostics

  Specified by:
    `toString` in interface `ItemType`
  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `NodeTest`

### getNodeKindMask

    public int getNodeKindMask()

  Get a mask indicating which kinds of nodes this NodeTest can match. This is a combination of bits: 1<<Type.ELEMENT for element nodes, 1<<Type.TEXT for text nodes, and so on.

  Specified by:
    `getNodeKindMask` in class `NodeTest`

### getPrimitiveType

    public int getPrimitiveType()

  Get the basic kind of object that this ItemType matches: for a NodeTest, this is the kind of node, or Type.Node if it matches different kinds of nodes.

  Specified by:
    `getPrimitiveType` in interface `ItemType`
  Overrides:
    `getPrimitiveType` in class `NodeTest`
  Returns:
    the node kind matched by this node test

### getRequiredNodeNames

    public java.util.Set getRequiredNodeNames()

  Get the set of node names allowed by this NodeTest. This is returned as a set of Integer fingerprints. A null value indicates that all names are permitted (i.e. that there are no constraints on the node name. The default implementation returns null.

  Overrides:
    `getRequiredNodeNames` in class `NodeTest`

### getContentType

    public SchemaType getContentType()

  Get the content type allowed by this NodeTest (that is, the type annotation of the matched nodes). Return AnyType if there are no restrictions. The default implementation returns AnyType.

  Overrides:
    `getContentType` in class `NodeTest`

### getFingerprint

    public int getFingerprint()

  Get the name of the nodes matched by this nodetest, if it matches a specific name. Return -1 if the node test matches nodes of more than one name

  Overrides:
    `getFingerprint` in class `NodeTest`

### hashCode

    public int hashCode()

  Returns a hash code value for the object.

### getDefaultPriority

    public double getDefaultPriority()

  get the default priority of this nodeTest when used as a pattern

  Specified by:
    `getDefaultPriority` in class `NodeTest`

### getComponentNodeTests

    public NodeTest[] getComponentNodeTests()

  Get the two parts of the combined node test
