Method Detail

fixupVariables

public void fixupVariables(java.util.Vector vars,
                           int globalsSize)
No arguments to process, so this does nothing.
Overrides:
fixupVariables in class Expression

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.
Overrides:
canTraverseOutsideSubtree in class Expression

setPatterns

public void setPatterns(StepPattern[] patterns)
Set the contained step patterns to be tested.
Parameters:
patterns - the contained step patterns to be tested.

getPatterns

public StepPattern[] getPatterns()
Get the contained step patterns to be tested.
Returns:
an array of the contained step patterns to be tested.

execute

public XObject execute(XPathContext xctxt)
                throws TransformerException
Test a node to see if it matches any of the patterns in the union.
Parameters:
xctxt - XPath runtime context.
Returns:
NodeTest.SCORE_NODETEST, NodeTest.SCORE_NONE, NodeTest.SCORE_NSWILD, NodeTest.SCORE_QNAME, or NodeTest.SCORE_OTHER.
Throws:
TransformerException -  
Overrides:
execute in class Expression

callVisitors

public void callVisitors(ExpressionOwner owner,
                         XPathVisitor visitor)
See Also:
XPathVisitable.callVisitors(ExpressionOwner, XPathVisitor)

deepEquals

public boolean deepEquals(Expression expr)
Overrides:
deepEquals in class Expression
