Package net.sf.saxon.type.gnode

Class AnyXNodeType

java.lang.Object

net.sf.saxon.type.gnode.GNodeType

net.sf.saxon.type.gnode.XNodeType

net.sf.saxon.type.gnode.AnyXNodeType

All Implemented Interfaces:

NodePredicate, NodeTest, ItemType, ItemTypeWithSequenceTypeCache

public final class AnyXNodeType
extends XNodeType

An AnyXNodeType corresponds to the item type node(), which matches any XNode.

Method Details

getInstance

public static AnyXNodeType getInstance()

Get an instance of AnyNodeTest

Returns:

the singleton instance of this class

getAllowedNodeNames

public QNameTest getAllowedNodeNames()

Get the set of allowed node names that this type if capable of matching

Specified by:

getAllowedNodeNames in class XNodeType

Returns:

the allowed node names

matches

public boolean matches(Item item)

Test whether a given item conforms to this type

Specified by:

matches in interface ItemType

Specified by:

matches in class GNodeType

Parameters:

item - The item to be tested

Returns:

true if the item is an instance of this type; false otherwise

getBasicAlphaCode

public String getBasicAlphaCode()

Get an alphabetic code representing the type, or at any rate, the nearest built-in type from which this type is derived. The codes are designed so that for any two built-in types A and B, alphaCode(A) is a prefix of alphaCode(B) if and only if A is a supertype of B.

Returns:

the alphacode for the nearest containing built-in type. For example: for xs:string return "AS", for xs:boolean "AB", for node() "N", for element() "NE", for map(*) "FM", for array(*) "FA".

getUType

public UType getUType()

Get the corresponding UType. A UType is a union of primitive item types.

Specified by:

getUType in interface ItemType

Specified by:

getUType in interface NodeTest

Overrides:

getUType in class XNodeType

Returns:

the smallest UType that subsumes this item type

asChoiceItemType

public ChoiceItemType asChoiceItemType()

Description copied from interface: ItemType

Expand this item type to a choice item type. The default delivers a choice with this type as its only member. Implementations for abstract types return a choice of the corresponding concrete types, for example node() expands to a choice of the seven node kinds. The implementation for a choice type that includes abstract member types should expand these recursively.

getDefaultPriority

public final double getDefaultPriority()

Determine the default priority of this node test when used on its own as a Pattern

Returns:

the default priority

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
