org.apache.commons.jxpath.ri.compiler.Expression
org.apache.commons.jxpath.ri.compiler.Path
org.apache.commons.jxpath.ri.compiler.ExpressionPath
An element of the parse tree that represents an expression path, which is a path that starts with an expression like a function call:
getFoo(.)
/bar

compute
Description copied from class:Expression
Evaluates the expression. If the result is a node set, returns the first element of the node set.- Specified by:
compute
in classExpression
- Parameters:
context
- evaluation context- Returns:
- Object
-
computeContextDependent
Returns true if the root expression or any of the predicates or the path steps are context dependent.- Overrides:
computeContextDependent
in classPath
- Returns:
- boolean
-
computeValue
Description copied from class:Expression
Evaluates the expression. If the result is a node set, returns the first element of the node set.- Specified by:
computeValue
in classExpression
- Parameters:
context
- evaluation context- Returns:
- Object
-
expressionPath
Walks an expression path (a path that starts with an expression)- Parameters:
evalContext
- base contextfirstMatch
- whether to return the first match found- Returns:
- Object found
-
getExpression
Gets the expression.- Returns:
- Expression
-
getPredicates
Predicates are the expressions in brackets that may follow the root expression of the path.- Returns:
- Expression[]
-
isSimpleExpressionPath
Recognized paths formatted as$x[3]/foo[2]
. The evaluation of such "simple" paths is optimized and streamlined.- Returns:
- boolean
