ParentNodeExpression
public ParentNodeExpression()
getNode
public NodeInfo getNode(Context context)
                 throws org.xml.sax.SAXException
- Return the node selected by this SingletonExpression- 
- Overrides:
- getNodein class- SingletonExpression
 
- 
- Parameters:
- context- The context for the evaluation
- Returns:
- the parent of the current node defined by the context
 
getDependencies
public int getDependencies()
- Determine which aspects of the context the expression depends on. The result is
 a bitwise-or'ed value composed from constants such as Context.VARIABLES and
 Context.CURRENT_NODE- 
- Overrides:
- getDependenciesin class- Expression
 
evaluateAsString
public java.lang.String evaluateAsString(Context context)
                                  throws org.xml.sax.SAXException
- Evaluate as a string. Returns the string value of the parent node- 
- Overrides:
- evaluateAsStringin class- SingletonExpression
 
- 
- Parameters:
- context- The context in which the expression is to be evaluated
- Returns:
- the value of the current node, identified by the context
 
evaluateAsBoolean
public boolean evaluateAsBoolean(Context context)
                          throws org.xml.sax.SAXException
- Evaluate as a boolean. Returns true if there are any nodes
 selected by the NodeSetExpression.- 
- Overrides:
- evaluateAsBooleanin class- SingletonExpression
 
- 
- Parameters:
- context- The context in which the expression is to be evaluated
- Returns:
- true unless the current node is the Document node
 
toString
public java.lang.String toString()
- Get a string representation of this expression- 
- Overrides:
- toStringin class- java.lang.Object
 
reduce
public Expression reduce(int dependencies,
                         Context context)
                  throws org.xml.sax.SAXException
- Perform a partial evaluation of the expression, by eliminating specified dependencies
 on the context.- 
- Overrides:
- reducein class- Expression
 
- 
- Parameters:
- dependencies- The dependencies to be removed
- context- The context to be used for the partial evaluation
- Returns:
- a new expression that does not have any of the specified
 dependencies
