Interface XQStaticContext

All Known Implementing Classes:
  SaxonXQStaticContext

    public interface XQStaticContext

An `XQStaticContext` represents default values for various XQuery Static Context Components. Further it includes the static XQJ properties for an `XQExpression` or `XQPreparedExpression` object.

The following XQuery Static Context Components are supported through the `XQStaticContext` interface:

- Statically known namespaces
- Default element/type namespace
- Default function namespace
- Context item static type
- Default collation
- Construction mode
- Ordering mode
- Default order for empty sequences
- Boundary-space policy
- Copy-namespaces mode
- Base URI

As described in the XQuery specification, each of these default values can be overridden or augmented in the query prolog.

In addition `XQStaticContext` includes the static XQJ properties for an `XQExpression` or `XQPreparedExpression` object:

- Binding mode
- Holdability of the result sequences
- Scrollability of the result sequences
- Query language
- Query timeout

Note that `XQStaticContext` is a value object, changing attributes in such object doesn't affect any existing `XQExpression` or `XQPreparedExpression` object.
In order to take effect, the application needs to explicitly change the `XQConnection` default values, or specify an `XQStaticContext` object when creating an `XQExpression` or `XQPreparedExpression`.

      XQConnection conn = XQDatasource.getConnection();
      // get the default values from the implementation
      XQStaticContext cntxt = conn.getStaticContext();
      // change the base uri
      cntxt.setBaseURI("http://www.foo.com/xml/");
      // change the implementation defaults
       conn.setStaticContext(cntxt);

      // create an XQExpression using the new defaults
      XQExpression expr1 = conn.createExpression();

      // creat an XQExpression, using BaseURI "file:///root/user/john/"
      cntxt.setBaseURI("file:///root/user/john/");
      XQExpression expr2 = conn.createExpression(cntxt);
      ...
