Class TypeCheckingFilter

    java.lang.Object
      net.sf.saxon.event.SequenceReceiver
          net.sf.saxon.event.ProxyReceiver
              net.sf.saxon.event.TypeCheckingFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Receiver, javax.xml.transform.Result

public class TypeCheckingFilter
extends ProxyReceiver

A filter on the push pipeline that performs type checking, both of the item type and the cardinality.

Note that the TypeCheckingFilter cannot currently check document node tests of the form document-node(element(X,Y)), so it is not invoked in such cases. This isn't a big problem, because most instructions that return document nodes materialize them anyway.

### TypeCheckingFilter

    public TypeCheckingFilter()

Method Detail

### setRequiredType

    public void setRequiredType(ItemType type,
                                int cardinality,
                                RoleLocator role)

### attribute

    public void attribute(int nameCode,
                          int typeCode,
                          java.lang.CharSequence value,
                          int locationId,
                          int properties)
                   throws XPathException

  Notify an attribute. Attributes are notified after the startElement event, and before any children. Namespaces and attributes may be intermingled.

  Specified by:
    `attribute` in interface `Receiver`
  Overrides:
    `attribute` in class `ProxyReceiver`
  Parameters:
    `nameCode` - The name of the attribute, as held in the name pool
    `typeCode` - The type of the attribute, as held in the name pool
    `properties` - Bit significant value. The following bits are defined:
    DISABLE_ESCAPING
  Disable escaping for this attribute
    NO_SPECIAL_CHARACTERS
  Attribute value contains no special characters
  Throws:
    `IllegalStateException:` - attempt to output an attribute when there is no open element start tag
    `XPathException`

### characters

    public void characters(java.lang.CharSequence chars,
                           int locationId,
                           int properties)
                    throws XPathException

  Character data

  Specified by:
    `characters` in interface `Receiver`
  Overrides:
    `characters` in class `ProxyReceiver`
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### comment

    public void comment(java.lang.CharSequence chars,
                        int locationId,
                        int properties)
                 throws XPathException

  Output a comment

  Specified by:
    `comment` in interface `Receiver`
  Overrides:
    `comment` in class `ProxyReceiver`
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### namespace

    public void namespace(int namespaceCode,
                          int properties)
                   throws XPathException

  Notify a namespace. Namespaces are notified after the startElement event, and before any children for the element. The namespaces that are reported are only required to include those that are different from the parent element; however, duplicates may be reported. A namespace must not conflict with any namespaces already used for element or attribute names.

  Specified by:
    `namespace` in interface `Receiver`
  Overrides:
    `namespace` in class `ProxyReceiver`
  Parameters:
    `namespaceCode` - an integer: the top half is a prefix code, the bottom half a URI code. These may be translated into an actual prefix and URI using the name pool. A prefix code of zero represents the empty prefix (that is, the default namespace). A URI code of zero represents a URI of "", that is, a namespace undeclaration.
  Throws:
    `IllegalStateException:` - attempt to output a namespace when there is no open element start tag
    `XPathException`

### processingInstruction

    public void processingInstruction(java.lang.String target,
                                      java.lang.CharSequence data,
                                      int locationId,
                                      int properties)
