Constructor Detail

### ContentTypeTest

    public ContentTypeTest(int nodeKind,
                           SchemaType schemaType,
                           Configuration config)

  Create a ContentTypeTest

  Parameters:
    `nodeKind` - the kind of nodes to be matched: always elements or attributes
    `schemaType` - the required type annotation, as a simple or complex schema type
    `config` - the Configuration, supplied because this KindTest needs access to schema information

Method Detail

### setNillable

    public void setNillable(boolean nillable)

  Indicate whether nilled elements should be matched (the default is false)

  Parameters:
    `nillable` - true if nilled elements should be matched

### isNillable

    public boolean isNillable()

  The test is nillable if a question mark was specified as the occurrence indicator

  Overrides:
    `isNillable` in class `NodeTest`
  Returns:
    true if the test is nillable

### setMatchDTDTypes

    public void setMatchDTDTypes(boolean matched)

  Indicate whether DTD-derived content types should be matched (the default is false)

  Parameters:
    `matched` - true if DTD-derived types should be matched. If false, DTD-derived types are treated as untypedAtomic

### matchesDTDTypes

    public boolean matchesDTDTypes()

  Test whether DTD-derived content types should be matched (the default is false)

  Returns:
    true if DTD-derived types should be matched. If false, DTD-derived types are treated as untypedAtomic

### getSchemaType

    public SchemaType getSchemaType()

### getNodeKind

    public int getNodeKind()

### getSuperType

    public ItemType getSuperType(TypeHierarchy th)

  Description copied from class: `NodeTest`
  Get the type from which this item type is derived by restriction. This is the supertype in the XPath type heirarchy, as distinct from the Schema base type: this means that the supertype of xs:boolean is xs:anyAtomicType, whose supertype is item() (rather than xs:anySimpleType).

  In fact the concept of "supertype" is not really well-defined, because the types form a lattice rather than a hierarchy. The only real requirement on this function is that it returns a type that strictly subsumes this type, ideally as narrowly as possible.

  Specified by:
    `getSuperType` in interface `ItemType`
  Overrides:
    `getSuperType` in class `NodeTest`
  Parameters:
    `th` - the type hierarchy cache
  Returns:
    the supertype, or null if this type is item()

### matches

    public boolean matches(int nodeKind,
                           int fingerprint,
                           int annotation)

  Test whether this node test is satisfied by a given node

  Specified by:
    `matches` in class `NodeTest`
  Parameters:
    `nodeKind` - The type of node to be matched
    `fingerprint` - identifies the expanded name of the node to be matched
    `annotation` - The actual content type of the node

### matches

    public boolean matches(TinyTree tree,
                           int nodeNr)

  Test whether this node test is satisfied by a given node on a TinyTree. The node must be a document, element, text, comment, or processing instruction node. This method is provided so that when navigating a TinyTree a node can be rejected without actually instantiating a NodeInfo object.

  Overrides:
    `matches` in class `NodeTest`
  Parameters:
    `tree` - the TinyTree containing the node
    `nodeNr` - the number of the node within the TinyTree
  Returns:
    true if the node matches the NodeTest, otherwise false

### matches

    public boolean matches(NodeInfo node)

  Test whether this node test is satisfied by a given node. This alternative method is used in the case of nodes where calculating the fingerprint is expensive, for example DOM or JDOM nodes.

  Overrides:
    `matches` in class `NodeTest`
  Parameters:
    `node` - the node to be matched

### getDefaultPriority

    public final double getDefaultPriority()

  Determine the default priority of this node test when used on its own as a Pattern

  Specified by:
    `getDefaultPriority` in class `NodeTest`

### getPrimitiveType

    public int getPrimitiveType()

  Determine the types of nodes to which this pattern applies. Used for optimisation.

  Specified by:
    `getPrimitiveType` in interface `ItemType`
  Overrides:
    `getPrimitiveType` in class `NodeTest`
  Returns:
    the type of node matched by this pattern. e.g. Type.ELEMENT or Type.TEXT

### getNodeKindMask

    public int getNodeKindMask()

  Get a mask indicating which kinds of nodes this NodeTest can match. This is a combination of bits: 1<<Type.ELEMENT for element nodes, 1<<Type.TEXT for text nodes, and so on.

  Overrides:
    `getNodeKindMask` in class `NodeTest`

### getContentType

    public SchemaType getContentType()

  Get the content type allowed by this NodeTest (that is, the type annotation of the matched nodes). Return AnyType if there are no restrictions. The default implementation returns AnyType.

  Overrides:
    `getContentType` in class `NodeTest`

### getAtomizedItemType

    public AtomicType getAtomizedItemType()

  Get the item type of the atomic values that will be produced when an item of this type is atomized (assuming that atomization succeeds)

  Specified by:
    `getAtomizedItemType` in interface `ItemType`
  Overrides:
    `getAtomizedItemType` in class `NodeTest`
  Returns:
    the item type of the atomic values that will be produced when an item of this type is atomized

### isAtomizable

    public boolean isAtomizable()

  Ask whether values of this type are atomizable

  Specified by:
    `isAtomizable` in interface `ItemType`
  Overrides:
    `isAtomizable` in class `NodeTest`
  Returns:
    true unless it is known that these items will be elements with element-only content, in which case return false

### visitNamedSchemaComponents

    public void visitNamedSchemaComponents(SchemaComponentVisitor visitor)
                                    throws XPathException

  Visit all the schema components used in this ItemType definition

  Specified by:
    `visitNamedSchemaComponents` in interface `ItemType`
  Overrides:
    `visitNamedSchemaComponents` in class `NodeTest`
  Parameters:
    `visitor` - the visitor class to be called when each component is visited
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### toString

    public String toString()

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `Object`

### hashCode

    public int hashCode()

  Returns a hash code value for the object.

  Overrides:
    `hashCode` in class `Object`

### equals

    public boolean equals(Object other)

  Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `Object`
