Class UnconstructedParent

    java.lang.Object

All Implemented Interfaces:
  javax.xml.transform.Source, PullEvent, Item, NodeInfo, ValueRepresentation

Direct Known Subclasses:
  UnconstructedDocument, UnconstructedElement

    public abstract class UnconstructedParent

extends java.lang.Object
implements NodeInfo

This class represents a virtual element node, the result of an element constructor that (in general) hasn't been fully evaluated. This is similar to a Closure, except that it is a NodeInfo rather than a Value. The object is capable of materializing the element if it is actually needed, but the aim is to avoid materializing the element wherever possible, at any rate not until its parent element is constructed so that this element can be built in-situ rather than being built as a standalone element and then later copied. This class is not currently used for elements that require schema validation.

    protected NodeInfo node

Constructor Detail

### UnconstructedParent

    protected UnconstructedParent(ParentNodeConstructor instruction,
                                  XPathContext context)

  Create an UnconstructedParent node

  Parameters:
    `instruction` - the instruction responsible for creating this element or document node
    `context` - the XPath dynamic context

Method Detail

### getXPathContext

    public XPathContext getXPathContext()

  Get the saved XPath dynamic context

  Returns:
    the saved context

### getInstruction

    public ParentNodeConstructor getInstruction()

  Get the instruction responsible for creating this element or document node

  Returns:
    the relevant instruction

### getPuller

    public PullProvider getPuller()

  Get a PullProvider that delivers the stream of events corresponding to the tree rooted at this virtual node

  Returns:
    the PullProvider for the events in the virtual tree

### isSameNodeInfo

    public boolean isSameNodeInfo(NodeInfo other)

  Determine whether this is the same node as another node. Note: a.isSameNodeInfo(b) if and only if generateId(a)==generateId(b). This method has the same semantics as isSameNode() in DOM Level 3, but works on Saxon NodeInfo objects rather than DOM Node objects.

  Specified by:
    `isSameNodeInfo` in interface `NodeInfo`
  Parameters:
    `other` - the node to be compared with this node
  Returns:
    true if this NodeInfo object and the supplied NodeInfo object represent the same node in the tree.

### equals

    public boolean equals(java.lang.Object other)

  The equals() method compares nodes for identity. It is defined to give the same result as isSameNodeInfo().

  Specified by:
    `equals` in interface `NodeInfo`
  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `java.lang.Object`
  Parameters:
    `other` - the node to be compared with this node
  Returns:
    true if this NodeInfo object and the supplied NodeInfo object represent the same node in the tree.
  Since:
    8.7 Previously, the effect of the equals() method was not defined. Callers should therefore be aware that third party implementations of the NodeInfo interface may not implement the correct semantics. It is safer to use isSameNodeInfo() for this reason. The equals() method has been defined because it is useful in contexts such as a Java Set or HashMap.

### hashCode

    public int hashCode()

  The hashCode() method obeys the contract for hashCode(): that is, if two objects are equal (represent the same node) then they must have the same hashCode()

  Specified by:
    `hashCode` in interface `NodeInfo`
  Overrides:
    `hashCode` in class `java.lang.Object`
  Since:
    8.7 Previously, the effect of the equals() and hashCode() methods was not defined. Callers should therefore be aware that third party implementations of the NodeInfo interface may not implement the correct semantics.

### getSystemId

    public java.lang.String getSystemId()

  Get the System ID for the node (that is, the document URI of the containing document node).

  Specified by:
    `getSystemId` in interface `javax.xml.transform.Source`
  Specified by:
    `getSystemId` in interface `NodeInfo`
  Returns:
    the System Identifier of the source document containing the node, or null if not known. Note this is not the same as the base URI: the base URI can be modified by xml:base, but the system ID cannot.

### getBaseURI

    public java.lang.String getBaseURI()

  Get the Base URI for the node, that is, the URI used for resolving a relative URI contained in the node. This will be the same as the System ID unless xml:base has been used.

  Specified by:
    `getBaseURI` in interface `NodeInfo`
  Returns:
    the base URI of the node

### getLineNumber

    public int getLineNumber()

  Get line number

  Specified by:
    `getLineNumber` in interface `NodeInfo`
  Returns:
    the line number of the node in its original source document; or -1 if not available

### getColumnNumber

    public int getColumnNumber()

  Get column number

  Specified by:
    `getColumnNumber` in interface `NodeInfo`
  Returns:
    the column number of the node in its original source document; or -1 if not available

### compareOrder

    public int compareOrder(NodeInfo other)

  Determine the relative position of this node and another node, in document order. The other node will always be in the same document.

  Specified by:
    `compareOrder` in interface `NodeInfo`
  Parameters:
    `other` - The other node, whose position is to be compared with this node
  Returns:
    -1 if this node precedes the other node, +1 if it follows the other node, or 0 if they are the same node. (In this case, isSameNode() will always return true, and the two nodes will produce the same result for generateId())

### getStringValue

    public java.lang.String getStringValue()

  Return the string value of the node. The interpretation of this depends on the type of node. For an element it is the accumulated character content of the element, including descendant elements.

  Specified by:
    `getStringValue` in interface `NodeInfo`
  Specified by:
    `getStringValue` in interface `ValueRepresentation`

    the string value of the node
  See Also:
    `Item.getStringValueCS()`

### getFingerprint

    public int getFingerprint()

  Get fingerprint. The fingerprint is a coded form of the expanded name of the node: two nodes with the same name code have the same namespace URI and the same local name. A fingerprint of -1 should be returned for a node with no name.

    The display name of this node. For a node with no name, return an empty string.

### getPrefix

    public java.lang.String getPrefix()

### copy

    public void copy(Receiver out,
                     int whichNamespaces,
                     boolean copyAnnotations,
                     int locationId)
              throws XPathException

  Copy this node to a given outputter

  Specified by:
    `copy` in interface `NodeInfo`
  Parameters:
    `out` - the Receiver to which the node should be copied
    `whichNamespaces` - in the case of an element, controls which namespace nodes should be copied. Values are `NodeInfo.NO_NAMESPACES`, `NodeInfo.LOCAL_NAMESPACES`, `NodeInfo.ALL_NAMESPACES`
    `copyAnnotations` - indicates whether the type annotations of element and attribute nodes should be copied
    `locationId` - If non-zero, identifies the location of the instruction that requested this copy. If zero, indicates that the location information for the original node is to be copied; in this case the Receiver must be a LocationCopier
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### getDeclaredNamespaces

    public int[] getDeclaredNamespaces(int[] buffer)

  Get all namespace undeclarations and undeclarations defined on this element.

  Specified by:
    `getDeclaredNamespaces` in interface `NodeInfo`
  Parameters:
    `buffer` - If this is non-null, and the result array fits in this buffer, then the result may overwrite the contents of this array, to avoid the cost of allocating a new array on the heap.
  Returns:
    An array of integers representing the namespace declarations and undeclarations present on this element. For a node other than an element, return null. Otherwise, the returned array is a sequence of namespace codes, whose meaning may be interpreted by reference to the name pool. The top half word of each namespace code represents the prefix, the bottom half represents the URI. If the bottom half is zero, then this is a namespace undeclaration rather than a declaration. The XML namespace is never included in the list. If the supplied array is larger than required, then the first unused entry will be set to -1.

    For a node other than an element, the method returns null.

### setSystemId

    public void setSystemId(java.lang.String systemId)

  Set the system identifier for this Source.

  The system identifier is optional if the source does not get its data from a URL, but it may still be useful to provide one. The application can use a system identifier, for example, to resolve relative URIs and to include in error messages and warnings.

  Specified by:
    `setSystemId` in interface `javax.xml.transform.Source`
  Parameters:
    `systemId` - The system identifier as a URL string.

### getStringValueCS

    public java.lang.CharSequence getStringValueCS()

  Get the value of the item as a CharSequence. This is in some cases more efficient than the version of the method that returns a String.

  Specified by:
    `getStringValueCS` in interface `Item`
  Specified by:
    `getStringValueCS` in interface `ValueRepresentation`
  Returns:
    the string value of the item
  See Also:
    `Item.getStringValue()`

### getTypedValue

    public SequenceIterator getTypedValue()
                                   throws XPathException

  Get the typed value of the item

  Specified by:
    `getTypedValue` in interface `Item`
  Returns:
    the typed value of the item. In general this will be a sequence
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - where no typed value is available, e.g. for an element with complex content

### atomize

    public Value atomize()
                  throws XPathException

  Get the typed value. The result of this method will always be consistent with the method `Item.getTypedValue()`. However, this method is often more convenient and may be more efficient, especially in the common case where the value is expected to be a singleton.

  Specified by:
    `atomize` in interface `NodeInfo`
  Returns:
    the typed value. If requireSingleton is set to true, the result will always be an AtomicValue. In other cases it may be a Value representing a sequence whose items are atomic values.
  Throws:
    `XPathException`
  Since:
    8.5
