Field Summary

private Expression	expression
private java.lang.String	xpath

Constructor Summary

JXPathCompiledExpression(java.lang.String xpath, Expression expression)

Method Summary

Pointer	createPath(JXPathContext context) Creates intermediate elements of the path by invoking an AbstractFactory, which should first be installed on the context by calling "setFactory".
Pointer	createPathAndSetValue(JXPathContext context, java.lang.Object value) 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".
protected Expression	getExpression()
Pointer	getPointer(JXPathContext context, java.lang.String xpath) Traverses the xpath and returns a Pointer.
java.lang.Object	getValue(JXPathContext context) Evaluates the xpath and returns the resulting object.
java.lang.Object	getValue(JXPathContext context, java.lang.Class requiredType) Evaluates the xpath, converts the result to the specified class and returns the resulting object.
protected java.lang.String	getXPath()
java.util.Iterator	iterate(JXPathContext context) Traverses the xpath and returns a Iterator of all results found for the path.
java.util.Iterator	iteratePointers(JXPathContext context) Traverses the xpath and returns an Iterator of Pointers.
void	removeAll(JXPathContext context) Remove all graph elements described by this expression
void	removePath(JXPathContext context) Remove the graph element described by this expression
void	setValue(JXPathContext context, java.lang.Object value) Modifies the value of the property described by the supplied xpath.

Constructor Detail

JXPathCompiledExpression

public JXPathCompiledExpression(java.lang.String xpath,
                                Expression expression)

Method Detail

getXPath

protected java.lang.String getXPath()

getExpression

protected Expression getExpression()

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

getValue

public java.lang.Object getValue(JXPathContext context)

Description copied from interface: CompiledExpression

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

Specified by:

getValue in interface CompiledExpression

See Also:

CompiledExpression.getValue(JXPathContext)

getValue

public java.lang.Object getValue(JXPathContext context,
                                 java.lang.Class requiredType)

Description copied from interface: CompiledExpression

Evaluates the xpath, converts the result to the specified class and returns the resulting object.

Specified by:

getValue in interface CompiledExpression

See Also:

CompiledExpression.getValue(JXPathContext, Class)

setValue

public void setValue(JXPathContext context,
                     java.lang.Object value)

Description copied from interface: CompiledExpression

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)

Specified by:

setValue in interface CompiledExpression

See Also:

CompiledExpression.setValue(JXPathContext, Object)

createPath

public Pointer createPath(JXPathContext context)

Description copied from interface: CompiledExpression

Creates intermediate elements of the path by invoking an AbstractFactory, which should first be installed on the context by calling "setFactory".

Specified by:

createPath in interface CompiledExpression

See Also:

CompiledExpression.createPath(JXPathContext)

createPathAndSetValue

public Pointer createPathAndSetValue(JXPathContext context,
                                     java.lang.Object value)

Description copied from interface: CompiledExpression

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, by the path does not in fact describe an existing property
• The AbstractFactory fails to create an instance for an intermediate element.
• The property is not writable (no public, non-static set method)

Specified by:

createPathAndSetValue in interface CompiledExpression

See Also:

CompiledExpression.createPathAndSetValue(JXPathContext, Object)

iterate

public java.util.Iterator iterate(JXPathContext context)

Description copied from interface: CompiledExpression

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.

Specified by:

iterate in interface CompiledExpression

See Also:

CompiledExpression.iterate(JXPathContext)

getPointer

public Pointer getPointer(JXPathContext context,
                          java.lang.String xpath)

Description copied from interface: CompiledExpression

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.

Specified by:

getPointer in interface CompiledExpression

See Also:

CompiledExpression.getPointer(JXPathContext, String)

iteratePointers

public java.util.Iterator iteratePointers(JXPathContext context)

Description copied from interface: CompiledExpression

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.

Specified by:

iteratePointers in interface CompiledExpression

See Also:

CompiledExpression.iteratePointers(JXPathContext)

removePath

public void removePath(JXPathContext context)

Description copied from interface: CompiledExpression

Remove the graph element described by this expression

Specified by:

removePath in interface CompiledExpression

See Also:

CompiledExpression.removePath(JXPathContext)

removeAll

public void removeAll(JXPathContext context)

Description copied from interface: CompiledExpression

Remove all graph elements described by this expression

Specified by:

removeAll in interface CompiledExpression

See Also:

CompiledExpression.removeAll(JXPathContext)
