public interface Container
extends SourceLocator, Serializable

A Container is something other than an expression that can act as the container of an expression. It is typically an object such as a function, a global variable, or in XSLT a template, or an attribute set. When free-standing XPath expressions are compiled, the static context for the expression acts as its container.

Method Summary

Executable
getExecutable()
Get the Executable (representing a complete stylesheet or query) of which this Container forms part
int
getHostLanguage()
Get the host language (XSLT, XQuery, XPath) used to implement the code in this container
LocationProvider
getLocationProvider()
Get the LocationProvider allowing location identifiers to be resolved.
boolean
replaceSubExpression(Expression original, Expression replacement)
Replace one subexpression by a replacement subexpression

Method Details

getExecutable

public Executable getExecutable()
Get the Executable (representing a complete stylesheet or query) of which this Container forms part
Returns:
the executable

getHostLanguage

public int getHostLanguage()
Get the host language (XSLT, XQuery, XPath) used to implement the code in this container

getLocationProvider

public LocationProvider getLocationProvider()
Get the LocationProvider allowing location identifiers to be resolved.
Returns:
the location provider

replaceSubExpression

public boolean replaceSubExpression(Expression original,
                                    Expression replacement)
Replace one subexpression by a replacement subexpression
Parameters:
original - the original subexpression
replacement - the replacement subexpression
Returns:
true if the original subexpression was found
