Class WalkerFactory

  +--weblogic.apache.xpath.axes.WalkerFactory

public class WalkerFactory

extends java.lang.Object

This class is both a factory for XPath location path expressions, which are built from the opcode map output, and an analysis engine for the location path expressions in order to provide optimization hints.

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.

Field Detail

BITS_COUNT

public static final int BITS_COUNT

First 8 bits are the number of top-level location steps. Hopefully there will never be more that 255 location steps!!!

BITS_RESERVED

public static final int BITS_RESERVED

4 bits are reserved for future use.

BIT_PREDICATE

public static final int BIT_PREDICATE

Bit is on if the expression contains a top-level predicate.

BIT_ANCESTOR

public static final int BIT_ANCESTOR

Bit is on if any of the walkers contain an ancestor step.

BIT_ANCESTOR_OR_SELF

public static final int BIT_ANCESTOR_OR_SELF

Bit is on if any of the walkers contain an ancestor-or-self step.

BIT_ATTRIBUTE

public static final int BIT_ATTRIBUTE

Bit is on if any of the walkers contain an attribute step.

BIT_CHILD

public static final int BIT_CHILD

Bit is on if any of the walkers contain a child step.

BIT_DESCENDANT

public static final int BIT_DESCENDANT

Bit is on if any of the walkers contain a descendant step.

BIT_DESCENDANT_OR_SELF

public static final int BIT_DESCENDANT_OR_SELF

Bit is on if any of the walkers contain a descendant-or-self step.

BIT_FOLLOWING

public static final int BIT_FOLLOWING

Bit is on if any of the walkers contain a following step.

BIT_FOLLOWING_SIBLING

public static final int BIT_FOLLOWING_SIBLING

Bit is on if any of the walkers contain a following-sibiling step.

BIT_NAMESPACE

public static final int BIT_NAMESPACE

Bit is on if any of the walkers contain a namespace step.

BIT_PARENT

public static final int BIT_PARENT

Bit is on if any of the walkers contain a parent step.

BIT_PRECEDING

public static final int BIT_PRECEDING

Bit is on if any of the walkers contain a preceding step.

BIT_PRECEDING_SIBLING

public static final int BIT_PRECEDING_SIBLING

Bit is on if any of the walkers contain a preceding-sibling step.

BIT_SELF

public static final int BIT_SELF

Bit is on if any of the walkers contain a self step.

BIT_FILTER

public static final int BIT_FILTER

Bit is on if any of the walkers contain a filter (i.e. id(), extension function, etc.) step.

BIT_ROOT

public static final int BIT_ROOT

Bit is on if any of the walkers contain a root step.

BITMASK_TRAVERSES_OUTSIDE_SUBTREE

public static final int BITMASK_TRAVERSES_OUTSIDE_SUBTREE

If any of these bits are on, the expression may likely traverse outside the given subtree.

Method Detail

newLocPathIterator

public static LocPathIterator newLocPathIterator(Compiler compiler,
                                                 int opPos)
                                          throws javax.xml.transform.TransformerException

Create a new LocPathIterator iterator. The exact type of iterator returned is based on an analysis of the XPath operations.

Parameters:

compiler - non-null reference to compiler object that has processed the XPath operations into an opcode map.

opPos - The position of the operation code for this itterator.

Returns:

non-null reference to a LocPathIterator or derivative.

Throws:

javax.xml.transform.TransformerException -
