Method Detail

addNodePointerFactory

public static void addNodePointerFactory(NodePointerFactory factory)

getNodePointerFactories

public static NodePointerFactory[] getNodePointerFactories()

getCompiler

protected Compiler getCompiler()

Returns a static instance of TreeCompiler. Override this to return an aternate compiler.

compilePath

protected CompiledExpression compilePath(java.lang.String xpath)

Overridden by each concrete implementation of JXPathContext to perform compilation. Is called by compile().

Overrides:

compilePath in class JXPathContext

getValue

public java.lang.Object getValue(java.lang.String xpath)

Traverses the xpath and returns the resulting object. Primitive types are wrapped into objects.

Overrides:

getValue in class JXPathContext

getValue

public java.lang.Object getValue(java.lang.String xpath,
                                 Expression expr)

getValue

public java.lang.Object getValue(java.lang.String xpath,
                                 java.lang.Class requiredType)

Calls getValue(xpath), converts the result to the required type and returns the result of the conversion.

Overrides:

getValue in class JXPathContext

public java.lang.Object getValue(java.lang.String xpath,
                                 Expression expr,
                                 java.lang.Class requiredType)

iterate

public java.util.Iterator iterate(java.lang.String xpath)

Traverses the xpath and returns a Iterator of all results found for the path. If the xpath matches no properties in the graph, the Iterator will not be null.

Overrides:

iterate in class JXPathContext

iterate

public java.util.Iterator iterate(java.lang.String xpath,
                                  Expression expr)

getPointer

public Pointer getPointer(java.lang.String xpath)

Description copied from class: JXPathContext

Traverses the xpath and returns a Pointer. A Pointer provides easy access to a property. If the xpath matches no properties in the graph, the pointer will be null.

Overrides:

getPointer in class JXPathContext

getPointer

public Pointer getPointer(java.lang.String xpath,
                          Expression expr)

                     java.lang.Object value)

Description copied from class: JXPathContext

Modifies the value of the property described by the supplied xpath. Will throw an exception if one of the following conditions occurs:

• The xpath does not in fact describe an existing property
• The property is not writable (no public, non-static set method)

Overrides:

setValue in class JXPathContext

createPath

public Pointer createPath(java.lang.String xpath)

Description copied from class: JXPathContext

                                     java.lang.Object value)

Description copied from class: JXPathContext

The same as setValue, except it creates intermediate elements of the path by invoking an AbstractFactory, which should first be installed on the context by calling "setFactory".

Will throw an exception if one of the following conditions occurs:

• Elements of the xpath aleady exist, but the path does not in fact describe an existing property
• The AbstractFactory fails to create an instance for an intermediate element.

public java.util.Iterator iteratePointers(java.lang.String xpath)

Traverses the xpath and returns an Iterator of Pointers. A Pointer provides easy access to a property. If the xpath matches no properties in the graph, the Iterator be empty, but not null.

Overrides:

iteratePointers in class JXPathContext

iteratePointers
