ContextNodeExpression
public ContextNodeExpression()
getNode
public NodeInfo getNode(Context context)
                 throws org.xml.sax.SAXException
- Return the node selected by this expression.- 
- Overrides:
- getNodein class- SingletonExpression
 
- 
- Parameters:
- context- The context for the evaluation
- Returns:
- one NodeInfo only,
 namely the current node defined by the context
 
toString
public java.lang.String toString()
- Get a string representation of this expression- 
- Overrides:
- toStringin class- java.lang.Object
 
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
 
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
