    java.lang.Object
      com.icl.saxon.Mode

public class Mode
extends java.lang.Object

A Mode is a collection of rules; the selection of a rule to apply to a given element is determined by a Pattern.

Constructor Summary
`Mode()`

Method Summary
`void` `addRule(Pattern p, java.lang.Object obj, int precedence, double priority)` Add a rule to the Mode.
`int` `getList(int fingerprint, int type)` Determine which list to use for a given pattern (we must also search the generic list)
`int` `getNameCode()` Get the name of this mode (for tracing output)
`java.lang.Object` `getRule(NodeInfo node, Context context)` Get the rule corresponding to a given Node, by finding the best Pattern match.
`java.lang.Object` `getRule(NodeInfo node, int min, int max, Context context)` Get the rule corresponding to a given Node, by finding the best Pattern match, subject to a minimum and maximum precedence.
`void` `setNameCode(int nameCode)` Set the name of this mode (for tracing output)

Constructor Detail

### Mode

    public Mode()

Method Detail

### setNameCode

    public void setNameCode(int nameCode)

  Set the name of this mode (for tracing output)

### getNameCode

    public int getNameCode()

  Get the name of this mode (for tracing output)

### addRule

    public void addRule(Pattern p,
                        java.lang.Object obj,
                        int precedence,
                        double priority)

  Add a rule to the Mode.
  The rule effectively replaces any other rule for the same pattern/mode at the same or a lower priority.

  Parameters:
    `p` - a Pattern
    `obj` - the Object to return from getRule() when the supplied element matches this Pattern

### getList

    public int getList(int fingerprint,
                       int type)

  Determine which list to use for a given pattern (we must also search the generic list)

### getRule

    public java.lang.Object getRule(NodeInfo node,
                                    Context context)
                             throws TransformerException

  Get the rule corresponding to a given Node, by finding the best Pattern match.

  Parameters:
    `node` - the NodeInfo referring to the node to be matched
  Returns:
    the object (e.g. a NodeHandler) registered for that element, if any (otherwise null).
  Throws:
    `TransformerException`

### getRule

    public java.lang.Object getRule(NodeInfo node,
                                    int min,
                                    int max,
                                    Context context)
                             throws XPathException

  Get the rule corresponding to a given Node, by finding the best Pattern match, subject to a minimum and maximum precedence. (This supports xsl:apply-imports)

  Parameters:
    `node` - the NodeInfo referring to the node to be matched
  Returns:
    the object (e.g. a NodeHandler) registered for that element, if any (otherwise null).
  Throws:
    `XPathException`
