Method Detail

getFilterExpr

public Expr getFilterExpr()

Description copied from interface: PathExpr

Returns the filter expression that starts the path expression.

Specified by:

getFilterExpr in interface PathExpr

Returns:

the filter expression that starts the path expression

setFilterExpr

public void setFilterExpr(Expr filterExpr)

Description copied from interface: PathExpr

Changes the expression's filter expression.

Specified by:

setFilterExpr in interface PathExpr

getLocationPath

public LocationPath getLocationPath()

Description copied from interface: PathExpr

Returns the location path part of this path expression.

Specified by:

getLocationPath in interface PathExpr

Returns:

the location path part of this expression

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

getText

public java.lang.String getText()

Description copied from interface: Expr

Returns a String containing the XPath expression.

Specified by:

getText in interface Expr

Returns:

the text form of this XPath expression

simplify

public Expr simplify()

Description copied from interface: Expr

Simplifies the XPath expression. For example, the expression //para[1 = 1] could be simplified to //para. In practice, this is usually a noop. Jaxen does not currently perform any simplification.

Specified by:

simplify in interface Expr

Overrides:

simplify in class DefaultExpr

Returns:

the simplified expression

evaluate

public java.lang.Object evaluate(Context context)
                          throws JaxenException

Description copied from interface: Expr

Evaluate the expression in the given context, and return the result. The result will be a java.lang.Double for expressions that return a number, a java.lang.String for expressions that return a string, a java.lang.Boolean for expressions that return a boolean, and a java.util.List for expressions that return a node-set. In the latter case, the elements of the list are the actual objects from the source document model. Copies are not made.

Specified by:

evaluate in interface Expr

Parameters:

context - the context in which the expression is evaluated

Returns:

an object representing the result of the evaluation

Throws:

JaxenException
