### KeyTable

    public KeyTable(int doc,
                    PrefixResolver nscontext,
                    QName name,
                    java.util.Vector keyDeclarations,
                    XPathContext xctxt)
             throws javax.xml.transform.TransformerException

  Build a keys table.

  Parameters:

    `nscontext` - The stylesheet's namespace context.
    `name` - The key name
    `keyDeclarations` - The stylesheet's xsl:key declarations.
  Throws:
    `javax.xml.transform.TransformerException`

Method Detail

### getDocKey

    public int getDocKey()

  Get the document root matching this key.

  Returns:
    the document root matching this key

### getNodeSetDTMByKey

    public XNodeSet getNodeSetDTMByKey(QName name,
                                       XMLString ref)

  Given a valid element key, return the corresponding node list.

  Parameters:
    `name` - The name of the key, which must match the 'name' attribute on xsl:key.
    `ref` - The value that must match the value found by the 'match' attribute on xsl:key.
  Returns:
    a set of nodes referenced by the key named `name` and the reference `ref`. If no node is referenced by this key, an empty node set is returned.

### getKeyTableName

    public QName getKeyTableName()

  Get Key Name for this KeyTable

  Returns:
    Key name
