Class AVT

  +--weblogic.apache.xalan.templates.AVT

public class AVT

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.io.Serializable

Class to hold an Attribute Value Template.

This class is based on an implementation from the Apache XML Project. In future releases the XML parser, XSLT processor, and associated classes will likely be updated to be based on a later version of the Apache implementations. Since Apache does not guarantee backwards compatibility between versions of their software, we cannot guarantee backwards compatibility of any of the classes contained in the weblogic.apache package or sub-packages.

Constructor Summary

AVT(StylesheetHandler handler, java.lang.String uri, java.lang.String name, java.lang.String rawName, java.lang.String stringedValue)
Construct an AVT by parsing the string, and either constructing a vector of AVTParts, or simply hold on to the string if the AVT is simple.

java.lang.String	evaluate(XPathContext xctxt, org.w3c.dom.Node context, PrefixResolver nsNode) Evaluate the AVT and return a String.
java.lang.String	getName() Get the local name of the attribute.
java.lang.String	getRawName() Get the raw name of the attribute, with the prefix unprocessed.
java.lang.String	getSimpleString() Get the AVT as the original string.
java.lang.String	getURI() Get the namespace URI of the attribute.
boolean	isContextInsensitive() Test whether the AVT is insensitive to the context in which it is being evaluated.
void	setName(java.lang.String name) Set the local name of the attribute.
void	setRawName(java.lang.String rawName) Get the raw name of the attribute, with the prefix unprocessed.

Constructor Detail

AVT

public AVT(StylesheetHandler handler,
           java.lang.String uri,
           java.lang.String name,
           java.lang.String rawName,
           java.lang.String stringedValue)
    throws javax.xml.transform.TransformerException

Construct an AVT by parsing the string, and either constructing a vector of AVTParts, or simply hold on to the string if the AVT is simple.

Parameters:

handler - non-null reference to StylesheetHandler that is constructing.

uri - non-null reference to URI, "" if null namespace.

name - non-null reference to name string.

rawName - prefixed name.

stringedValue - non-null raw string value.

Throws:

javax.xml.transform.TransformerException -

Method Detail

getRawName

public java.lang.String getRawName()

Get the raw name of the attribute, with the prefix unprocessed.

Returns:

non-null reference to prefixed name.

setRawName

public void setRawName(java.lang.String rawName)

Get the raw name of the attribute, with the prefix unprocessed.

Parameters:

rawName - non-null reference to prefixed name.

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Get the local name of the attribute.

Returns:

non-null reference to name string.

setName

public void setName(java.lang.String name)

Set the local name of the attribute.

Parameters:

name - non-null reference to name string.

getURI

public java.lang.String getURI()

Get the namespace URI of the attribute.

Returns:

non-null reference to URI, "" if null namespace.

setURI

public void setURI(java.lang.String uri)

Get the namespace URI of the attribute.

Parameters:

uri - non-null reference to URI, "" if null namespace.

getSimpleString

public java.lang.String getSimpleString()

Get the AVT as the original string.

Returns:

The AVT as the original string

evaluate

public java.lang.String evaluate(XPathContext xctxt,
                                 org.w3c.dom.Node context,
                                 PrefixResolver nsNode)
                          throws javax.xml.transform.TransformerException

Evaluate the AVT and return a String.

Parameters:

xctxt - Te XPathContext to use to evaluate this.

context - The current source tree context.

nsNode - The current namespace context (stylesheet tree context).

NodeList - The current Context Node List.

Returns:

The AVT evaluated as a string

Throws:

javax.xml.transform.TransformerException -

isContextInsensitive

public boolean isContextInsensitive()

Test whether the AVT is insensitive to the context in which it is being evaluated. This is intended to facilitate compilation of templates, by allowing simple AVTs to be converted back into strings. Currently the only case we recognize is simple strings. ADDED 9/5/2000 to support compilation experiment

Returns:

True if the m_simpleString member of this AVT is not null

canTraverseOutsideSubtree

public boolean canTraverseOutsideSubtree()

Tell if this expression or it's subexpressions can traverse outside the current subtree.

Returns:

true if traversal outside the context node's subtree can occur.
