Class UntypedAtomicValue

All Implemented Interfaces:
Iterable<AtomicValue>, AtomicSequence, GroundedValue<AtomicValue>, IdentityComparable, Item<AtomicValue>, Sequence<AtomicValue>, ConversionResult

public class UntypedAtomicValue extends StringValue
An Untyped Atomic value. This inherits from StringValue for implementation convenience, even though an untypedAtomic value is not a String in the data model type hierarchy.
  • Field Details

    • ZERO_LENGTH_UNTYPED

      public static final UntypedAtomicValue ZERO_LENGTH_UNTYPED
    • cachedConversionType

      int cachedConversionType
    • cachedConversionResult

      ConversionResult cachedConversionResult
  • Constructor Details

    • UntypedAtomicValue

      public UntypedAtomicValue(CharSequence value)
      Constructor
      Parameters:
      value - the String value. Null is taken as equivalent to "".
  • Method Details

    • copyAsSubType

      public AtomicValue copyAsSubType(AtomicType typeLabel)
      Create a copy of this atomic value, with a different type label
      Overrides:
      copyAsSubType in class StringValue
      Parameters:
      typeLabel - the type label of the new copy. The caller is responsible for checking that the value actually conforms to this type.
      Returns:
      the copied value
    • getPrimitiveType

      public BuiltInAtomicType getPrimitiveType()
      Determine the primitive type of the value. This delivers the same answer as getItemType().getPrimitiveItemType(). The primitive types are the 19 primitive types of XML Schema, plus xs:integer, xs:dayTimeDuration and xs:yearMonthDuration, and xs:untypedAtomic. For external objects, the result is AnyAtomicType.
      Overrides:
      getPrimitiveType in class StringValue
      Returns:
      the primitive type
    • compareTo

      public int compareTo(AtomicValue other, StringCollator collator, XPathContext context)
      Compare an untypedAtomic value with another value, using a given collator to perform any string comparisons. This works by converting the untypedAtomic value to the type of the other operand, which is the correct behavior for operators like "=" and "!=", but not for "eq" and "ne": in the latter case, the untypedAtomic value is converted to a string and this method is therefore not used.
      Parameters:
      other - the value to compare this value with
      collator - the collation to be used for comparing strings
      context - the XPath dynamic context
      Returns:
      -1 if the this value is less than the other, 0 if they are equal, +1 if this value is greater.
      Throws:
      ClassCastException - if the value cannot be cast to the type of the other operand
    • getConversionResultIfKnown

      public ConversionResult getConversionResultIfKnown(int atomicType)
      Ask whether there is a known match key for comparing this value as a particular type. Note this is not used for string comparisons
    • obtainConversionResult

      public ConversionResult obtainConversionResult(int atomicType, StringConverter converter)
      Compute and cache a conversion result converting this value to a particular type

      This method should not be used if the converter is namespace-sensitive, since the cached value may then be incorrect.

      Parameters:
      atomicType - the fingerprint of the type to which the value is being convertered
      converter - the converter used to convert to the target type
    • setConversionResult

      public void setConversionResult(int atomicType, AtomicValue value)
      Cache the result of a conversion
    • toShortString

      public String toShortString()
      For displaying the value in error messages, prefix with "u" to highlight that it's untyped atomic
      Specified by:
      toShortString in interface GroundedValue<AtomicValue>
      Specified by:
      toShortString in interface Item<AtomicValue>
      Overrides:
      toShortString in class StringValue
      Returns:
      a short depiction of the string for use in error messages
